Hotel Challis Potts Point
I recently visited Sydney solo and stayed at Hotel Challis Potts Point — and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The room size is perfect for one or two guests, and the overall atmosphere is incredibly quiet and peaceful, which made it an ideal retreat after a day of exploring. The ambiance and surroundings are exactly what many Korean travelers would fall in love with—calm, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The only minor downside? It’s a bit further from the Opera House and main shopping streets. But if you enjoy walking, the area is well-connected with scenic pathways, greenery, and plenty of local charm along the way. It’s actually a great opportunity to stretch your legs while soaking in the city vibe. All in all, this hotel offers excellent value, comfort, and convenience. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney.
The Baxley Bondi
I stumbled upon this place on Instagram and was instantly drawn to the botanical-inspired interior and overall vibe—had to book it! Since I wanted easy access to both downtown Sydney and Bondi Beach, this location was perfect. 😆 (That said, if you're not planning to visit the beach, this spot might not be ideal.) There’s a shopping mall nearby, so everything I needed was within reach—no inconvenience at all. I’m traveling solo, and accidentally left my key in the room when checking out. I was really stressed, but just rang the bell outside and the staff responded immediately—super helpful and kind. I felt bad since it was off-hours, but they still went out of their way to assist me. Thank you so much! 🥲 I’d absolutely stay here again if I ever come back to Sydney!
St Marks Randwick
St Marks Randwick Hotel is a charming stay with a lovely quiet vibe. The room was spotless and had a small private courtyard—perfect for a morning coffee or evening unwind. The interior design is tasteful and cozy, making it feel like a true retreat. One thing to note: there are no disposable slippers provided, so bringing your own or asking reception is recommended. Housekeeping isn’t daily, and coffee/tea supplies aren’t replenished every day—likely to minimize disturbance—but if you leave a note at the front desk, they respond promptly and take care of everything. Just be aware that the front desk is unstaffed before 8 AM and after 6 PM, so always carry your key card. We accidentally returned late once and had to wait outside until someone came by—so definitely keep it safe. Overall, the location is excellent, the atmosphere peaceful, and the value for money is outstanding. A real hidden gem in Sydney.
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.
Mantra Chatswood
Staying at Mantra Chatswood was a fantastic experience. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with everything in perfect condition—from the bedding to the bathroom fixtures. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. Located just minutes from public transit, getting into central Sydney is quick and easy. There are plenty of dining options and local attractions nearby, making it ideal for both business and leisure travelers. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this hotel—it’s a great value and truly delivers on comfort and convenience.
Meriton Suites Coward Street
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!
202 Elizabeth
Staying at 202 Elizabeth Hotel was a delightful experience from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a comfortable stay without feeling cramped. Located just steps away from the metro station, getting around Sydney was incredibly convenient, whether heading to the CBD, Opera House, or Harbour Bridge. The staff went above and beyond with friendly, genuine service—always ready to help with local tips or recommendations. It’s clear this place values guest comfort and satisfaction. With its unbeatable location, cleanliness, and warm hospitality, it’s a standout choice for travelers looking for a relaxed yet vibrant base in Sydney. I’d absolutely stay here again.
The Sebel Quay West Suites Sydney
Staying at The Sebel Quay West Suites Sydney was an absolute highlight of my trip to Sydney. The views from the room were breathtaking—direct sightlines to the harbor and the iconic Opera House, especially stunning during sunset. The apartment-style rooms are spacious and well-designed, perfect for families or longer stays. I appreciated having a washing machine in the unit, which made packing light much easier. Location-wise, it's unbeatable—just a short walk to the city center, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge. It truly lives up to the dream of what Sydney should be. The only minor downside is the parking cost, which can be quite high if you're not careful—make sure you don't accidentally enter Wilson Parking, as rates there can add up quickly. Overall, the experience was excellent, and with such a prime location and great amenities, the value still shines through. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Sydney.
Stoke Beach House
Stoke Beach House is an absolute gem—perfect for both leisure travelers and digital nomads looking to unwind. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach with easy access to public transit for exploring Sydney. The vibe is relaxed and coastal, with clean, stylish rooms that feel like a true escape. I was especially impressed by the complimentary breakfast—fresh juices, local pastries, and hot dishes every morning made starting the day a treat. The free surfboard rental is a game-changer; you can hit the waves right after check-in. Plus, having power outlets right at the bedside? A small but thoughtful touch that makes life so much easier. Everything about this place feels well thought out—from the welcoming staff to the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. If you're looking for a serene, affordable, and convenient base in Sydney, this is hands-down my top recommendation.
Barrys Beach Road Hotel
Staying at Barry's Beach Road Hotel was an absolute delight. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with a spacious balcony offering breathtaking views of the ocean—perfect for morning coffee or watching the sunset. Located just one street away from the beach, it’s ideal for those who love easy access to the water without sacrificing comfort. The surrounding area is vibrant and convenient: right next door is a lively local market where you can grab fresh produce, snacks, and unique souvenirs. I especially loved the steak at a nearby restaurant—rich, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Everything is within walking distance, and public transport links to the city center are super easy. This hotel strikes the perfect balance between seaside tranquility and urban accessibility. Highly recommend for travelers seeking both relaxation and convenience.

Staying at Mrs Banks Hotel in Paddington was such a delightful experience. The location is perfect—quiet and cozy, yet just a short walk from the city center and all the local amenities. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit, making us feel right at home. The room was simple but clean and well-maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a day exploring Sydney. I especially appreciated how close we were to cafes, shops, and public transport—everything you’d want for a comfortable and convenient stay. A hidden gem in a great neighborhood, highly recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxed, authentic vibe without sacrificing convenience.
Bayswater Boutique Lodge
We stayed with my family of four in one room, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The hotel is spotless and located in a great area—super convenient for getting around Sydney by train or on foot. Everyone in the family was happy with the spacious, clean room and the overall comfort. It felt like a home away from home, and the value for money was outstanding. I’d definitely recommend this place to other travelers looking for a cozy, well-located stay in Sydney.
