Adina Apartment Hotel Chippendale
This Adina Apartment Hotel in Chippendale is an absolute gem! We stayed with my younger brother and sister, and the three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout made it incredibly comfortable for our family trip. Having a washer and dryer was a huge plus—no need to worry about laundry, even with a full suitcase. The location is fantastic: just a short walk from the University of Sydney, and everything else—cafés, restaurants, shops—is within easy reach. The only downside? We were on the ground floor, so morning noise from traffic and passersby was a bit disruptive. But honestly, that’s a small trade-off for such a great price and convenience. Super clean, well-equipped, and perfect for families or groups. Definitely booking here again on our next visit to Sydney!
Vibe Hotel Sydney
We stayed in a family room with four beds—perfect for our family of three, and the space was spacious and spotlessly clean. The hotel’s location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to Museum Station, with direct train access to the airport, and another 5-minute stroll leads straight to a large shopping complex near Chinatown. Being right in the heart of the city means you can easily walk to all major attractions. We tried the breakfast buffet for $29 AUD per person—it included a full English breakfast with a great variety of fresh food, and honestly, it’s way more affordable than grabbing something similar from a café. The rooftop pool and fitness center looked inviting, though we didn’t get a chance to use them. Overall, we were extremely satisfied. This place is ideal for families traveling with kids and highly recommended for a stress-free, convenient stay in Sydney.
Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Town Hall
Staying at the Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Town Hall was an absolute pleasure. I was just a short walk from Town Hall, making it incredibly convenient for getting around the city. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Sydney with easy access to public transport, restaurants, and shops. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, offering a comfortable home-away-from-home experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall value for money was excellent. If you're looking for a central, hassle-free stay in Sydney, this is definitely my top recommendation.
A by Adina Sydney
Staying at A by Adina Sydney was a fantastic experience. The hotel is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the light rail station and only about 10 minutes to the Opera House. I loved how central everything was, making it easy to explore Sydney’s main attractions without hassle. The room was spacious for a city hotel, with modern decor that felt both stylish and comfortable. The bathroom, while a bit compact, had a well-designed layout and high-quality finishes that added to the overall appeal. Everything felt clean, functional, and thoughtfully put together. For travelers who value location, comfort, and a touch of contemporary charm, this is an excellent choice. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
Vibe Hotel Sydney Darling Harbour
Staying at Vibe Hotel Sydney Darling Harbour was an absolute highlight of my trip! The breakfast was fantastic—fresh, well-prepared, and full of local flavors, especially the homemade pancakes and seasonal fruit platters. My room was cozy, clean, and incredibly comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming—despite my limited English, we managed to communicate smoothly using Google Translate, and they always went the extra mile to help. The hotel is just steps away from the light rail station, making it super convenient for exploring the city. That said, it’s located on a slight incline, so if you’re traveling with heavy luggage, be prepared for a bit of a climb. But honestly, this small inconvenience doesn’t even come close to the overall experience. Excellent value, friendly atmosphere, and unbeatable location—highly recommend!
Adina Apartment Hotel Coogee Sydney
Staying at the Adina Apartment Hotel Coogee Sydney was a fantastic experience! Just a 7-8 minute walk to Coogee Beach, which makes it perfect for beach lovers who enjoy a quiet and relaxed vibe. The supermarket right across the street is super convenient for grabbing essentials. I also appreciated having access to the indoor pool and fitness center on-site—perfect for staying active without leaving the hotel. The location, comfort, and amenities all come together to make this a top choice. Highly recommend this place for a stress-free stay in Sydney!
Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Surry Hills
Staying at the Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Surry Hills was an excellent experience overall. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Central Station, making it super convenient for getting around Sydney. Surry Hills itself is such a stylish and vibrant neighborhood, full of charm and great cafes and boutiques nearby. I arrived early in the morning, but there was strong wind outside, which made me a little anxious about checking in. However, the manager went above and beyond by offering us an early check-in—thank you so much for that thoughtful gesture! The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the comforts I needed. It’s clear the hotel values guest comfort and service. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney.
Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Airport
I was completely surprised by how spacious and clean the room was—way better than I expected for a hotel near the airport. This was my first time staying here, but it’s already become my go-to choice for future trips. The layout is smart and comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchenette that made preparing simple meals or enjoying a morning coffee a breeze. Everything you’d need is here: a large fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, toaster, plus all the cutlery, dishes, mugs, and kettles. It felt like living at home, but with the convenience of a hotel. The front desk staff, a friendly woman with short-medium hair who speaks Chinese, made the experience even more welcoming—she was so helpful and attentive. I had planned to stay longer, but my schedule changed unexpectedly, so I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye—felt a little sad about that! The location is perfect: quiet, close to the airport, and easy to reach via public transport if you’re heading into Sydney. Highly recommend this place to friends and family—especially if you want comfort, space, and great value without sacrificing quality.
Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney, Darling Harbour
Staying at Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney, Darling Harbour was a great experience overall. The room was surprisingly spacious with plenty of room to move around—perfect for both short stays and longer visits. It’s just a 2-minute walk to a convenient convenience store, so grabbing snacks or essentials was effortless. While it takes a bit of walking to reach the city center, public transport options like buses and trains are nearby and make getting around easy. The heating system works really well—kept the room cozy and warm throughout the night without needing extra layers. One small note: housekeeping services aren’t offered unless you request them directly, so be sure to ask if you need anything. That said, the location, comfort, and value for money make this a standout choice. I’d definitely book here again when visiting Sydney.
Vibe Hotel North Sydney
Absolutely loved our stay at Vibe Hotel North Sydney—truly a 10/10 experience! The location is unbeatable: just a short walk from the train station and super close to everything we needed. We were in town meeting clients for dinner almost every night, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying a comfortable, relaxing retreat when we returned. The room was spacious, clean, and perfectly designed with modern touches—bed was incredibly cozy, and I slept like a baby. Staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which made the whole experience feel personal and warm. Even though we were out most evenings, coming back to this hotel felt like stepping into a peaceful home base. If you're visiting Sydney and want a great balance of comfort, convenience, and value, this place is a must-book. Highly recommend!
Rendezvous Hotel Sydney the Rocks
Our stay at Rendezvous Hotel Sydney the Rocks completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The front desk agent—though I can't quite recall his name exactly (Asif or Arif?), was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful. He offered local tips, assisted with booking recommendations, and made sure everything was smooth from check-in onward. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—steps away from The Rocks’ historic streets, bustling markets, and fantastic dining options. Everything about the experience felt personal and thoughtfully curated. Clean rooms, modern amenities, and a warm atmosphere that made us feel right at home. If you're visiting Sydney, this is the perfect base for exploring the city’s charm. Highly recommend this hotel—truly exceptional service and value.
Orange Stay Apartments Potts Point
Staying at Orange Stay Apartments Potts Point was a solid choice, especially for the location. The building is just steps away from King Cross Metro station, with a bus stop right outside—perfect for getting around Sydney. The area itself is vibrant, packed with diverse restaurants, local markets, and shops, making daily life super convenient. The apartment had a smart access system with magnetic key cards for both the main door and elevator. We were in a two-bedroom unit: the larger bedroom had a built-in wardrobe and a private balcony—great for relaxing. However, the second bedroom wasn’t ideal; it was separated from the living area by a partial wall that didn’t reach the ceiling, and there was only one narrow shelf for clothes. Plus, it faced a very noisy street, so we had to keep the window closed most of the time. The open-plan living-dining area included a full kitchenette, and the bathroom came with a shower. Wi-Fi was strong and reliable. Cleaning was done weekly, and while not daily, they provided essentials like toiletries, dish soap, and laundry detergent. Since there’s no front desk, we coordinated our check-in time directly with the onsite manager who gave us his contact number. For checkout, we simply left the keys inside the unit and walked out—no hassle at all. The rate was the highest among all my accommodations in Australia, but considering Sydney’s premium pricing and prime location, it felt justified. Overall, I’d recommend this place if you value convenience, great transport links, and a central base in a lively neighborhood.
