Staying at Nesuto Chippendale was an absolute delight. The room was spotless, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a relaxing getaway. What really stood out was the location: it’s just a short walk to UNSW and TAFE, and you can easily reach major Sydney attractions like the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and Central Business District on foot. I loved how convenient everything was—no need to worry about transport or long commutes. Plus, there are countless great dining options nearby. One standout breakfast spot offers five items plus coffee for just $35—huge portions, delicious flavors, and excellent value. It’s rare to find such quality and affordability in Sydney. This place truly delivers on every level. Highly recommend for students, travelers, or anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a great vibe.

I stayed here for five nights and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The location is excellent—right next to a local shopping mall with tons of dining options and multiple bus stops nearby, making it super easy to get around town. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed, though I did have to bring my own toothbrush and toothpaste (but that’s no big deal—there’s a Coles supermarket in the mall just steps away). I booked the city view room because I love having a window, and while there is a compressor unit outside, it’s not loud enough to be bothersome. I actually enjoyed watching the street life from my window. Overall, this hotel offers great value and a comfortable stay—definitely a top pick for anyone visiting Sydney.

Staying at Crown Hotel Surry Hills was an absolute highlight of my Sydney trip. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Surry Hills, steps away from great cafes, restaurants, and shopping spots. The hotel itself has a warm, welcoming vibe with friendly staff who go above and beyond. My room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed—perfect for a relaxing night’s sleep. I loved the on-site pub: drinks were affordable, the food was delicious, and the staff made me feel right at home. Plus, guests get a free drink upon booking and 10% off meals—great value! There’s also a breakfast nook where you can brew your own coffee or tea and enjoy cereal. It’s clear this place cares about guest experience. If you’re visiting Sydney, don’t miss this gem—it’s highly recommended!

This hotel is incredibly well located—just a short walk from Chinatown and Central Station, with excellent access to buses and trains. It only takes minutes to get to the University of Sydney, and the skydiving pickup point is literally just 100 meters away. I was a bit nervous before booking after reading some negative reviews, but my stay turned out to be far better than expected. The service was friendly and efficient, and our room on the 11th floor offered unobstructed views of the city skyline—truly stunning. The room itself was spotless, clean, and well-maintained. Even though there was no housekeeping during our two-night stay and breakfast wasn’t included, the overall experience was still outstanding. For the price—only $500 per night during National Day—I’d say it’s an absolute steal compared to another hotel I considered that charged double for a smaller room and worse bed. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for comfort, location, and value.

I was in need of a last-minute place to stay for the night, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with my choice. Atelier Serviced Apartments is perfectly located—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit, making it easy to explore Sydney without hassle. The apartment itself is compact but thoughtfully designed, with a cozy, modern vibe that feels welcoming. The bed was super comfortable, and the kitchenette has everything you’d need for a quick meal or coffee. It’s rare to find such a well-priced, stylish, and convenient option in a busy city like Sydney. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next visit—highly recommend!

Our stay was extremely disappointing, especially considering the price for just two nights. The apartment was located on a terrace below the pool and felt worn out and poorly lit. There were visible stains on the carpet, the safe didn’t work at all, and a faucet in the bathroom dripped continuously. There was no labeling on the shower taps to indicate which one was hot—very frustrating. While the bedding was clean, the floor just under the bed was covered in dust. The pool was full of leaves, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and littered with empty cans and food wrappers—really unsanitary. Security was also a major concern: access to the pool should have required a key, but the door was left open, and a fire exit was propped open with a wedge. The terrace was easily accessible from the pool area, and after a shower, water flooded the space and remained stagnant—no signs of drainage or obvious blockage. We reached out to management to express our disappointment and expected better quality for the price we paid. This experience fell far short of what we hoped for, and it’s hard to recommend this property without improvements.

Our stay at The Banq Apartments by Urban Rest in Sydney was extremely disappointing. The cleanliness of the property was far below expectations—dust covered every surface, stains were visible on the carpets, and we even found nail clippings and cobwebs both inside and outside the unit. To make matters worse, the dryer was completely broken and unusable. We also couldn’t access the bin room due to locked doors, which made waste disposal a hassle. The worst part was when my partner stepped on glass fragments while walking around the living area, resulting in a painful injury. Safety, hygiene, and basic functionality were all severely lacking. This experience fell far short of what we’d expect from a reputable accommodation, and we wouldn’t recommend it to others.

I stayed at Secret Garden Backpackers for a total of 2.5 months, rotating through three different rooms—each experience was consistently positive. The rooms were clean and generally tidy, though cleanliness did depend on the roommates. Daily housekeeping was reliable, and getting fresh bed linens was never an issue. Even during intense heatwaves without air conditioning, the temperature remained comfortable—never too hot or too cold. Common areas were spotless, with staff cleaning multiple times a day. You’d always see them sweeping, mopping, or wiping down surfaces, which made the hostel feel incredibly hygienic and well-maintained. The highlight? The Secret Garden. It’s not just a garden—it’s a sanctuary. Whether I was having breakfast, reading a book, or just relaxing, this peaceful outdoor space made hostel living enjoyable and bearable. The kitchen is fully equipped with free tea and coffee, microwaves, toasters, and more. The only downside? A few stoves didn’t work, but that’s a minor issue considering how well the rest of the kitchen is kept. Showers have been upgraded recently—new ones with strong water pressure—so I highly recommend using the ones near the staircases instead of those by the garden. They’re clean, fresh, and satisfying. Staff are friendly, professional, and always willing to help with local tips or activity suggestions. What really stood out compared to other hostels? The clear expectations around hygiene and cleanliness. They don’t hesitate to kindly remind guests to tidy up their space—always in a respectful, non-confrontational way. That kind of accountability makes a huge difference. This hostel isn’t just good—it’s one of the best I’ve ever stayed at across many cities. Highly recommended.

The stay was excellent overall—great location, just a short walk to public transit and surrounded by great dining options. The only downside was when I returned from an outing, I found my room had been changed without my consent. Apparently, a tour group staff member rearranged my booking behind the scenes, which felt intrusive and frustrating. Communication could definitely be improved—guests should always be consulted before any changes are made. Despite this hiccup, the property is well-maintained, welcoming, and offers fantastic value for money. Would definitely recommend it to travelers looking for a comfortable, central base in Surry Hills.

Staying here was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Mascot Station and multiple bus stops, making it super easy to explore Sydney or head to the airport. My room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with modern touches throughout. I loved the king-sized bed—it was incredibly comfortable, and the rain shower in the bathroom was a real treat after a long day. The staff at the front desk were genuinely friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. It’s clear they take pride in their service. For a seamless, convenient, and relaxing stay in Sydney, this place really delivers. Highly recommend!

Stayed at Sydney Park Hotel for two weekend visits in March 2024 while traveling to friends in the Blue Mountains, recommended by some locals who used to live in Sydney. Check-in was smooth and welcoming—staff seemed to know exactly why we were there (maybe it was the big suitcases?). We booked a King room for extra space, and loved the generous closet area and room for luggage. Over two stays, we were assigned different but similarly sized rooms—Room 3, a corner unit facing King Street/Logan Lane, and Room 4, which overlooked St Peters train station. Room 3 had great cross breezes when all three windows were open, though it did face a busy intersection with more street noise. Room 4 was just as spacious and slightly quieter, with a view of the train line. Both rooms offered a real sense of being in the heart of the city—traffic hum and train rumble clearly audible when windows were open. Thankfully, earplugs were provided in both rooms, which helped us sleep well despite the urban buzz. If you're very noise-sensitive, another hotel might be better suited. But for us, it wasn’t an issue. Transport couldn’t be easier—St Peters Station is literally across Lord Street, just a few meters from the entrance. For two people coming from SYD Airport, an Uber ($22 total) was actually cheaper than taking the train ($19 each). And bonus: direct bookings come with a nice discount, which is common now with independently operated hotels worldwide. Definitely worth contacting them directly via email or phone to beat any online rate. Overall, a solid choice for convenience, comfort, and value.

I chose a ground-floor room because I wanted air conditioning, but the space was quite compact and the view from the curtains just showed the parking lot—definitely not ideal. This is the first Ibis Budget property I’ve stayed at where the experience felt underwhelming. The toilet didn’t have a lid, the shower area lacked proper ventilation so it stayed damp after use, and water pressure was extremely low—taking a shower felt like waiting for a trickle. Also, the bathroom faucet made an annoying high-pitched noise as soon as it was turned on. While the location is convenient for public transport, these issues really dragged down the overall value. It’s disappointing for a brand that usually offers solid basics. Not something I’d book again without significant improvements.
