Sydney Central Hotel managed by The Ascott Limited
Staying at Sydney Central Hotel by The Ascott was an absolute pleasure. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Chinatown, bustling with energy and endless dining options. I was able to easily access major attractions and train stations, which made my trip so convenient. After a long day of meetings, returning to the hotel felt like coming home—quiet, clean, and comfortable. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always ready to help. With so many restaurants and cafes nearby, there’s no need to go far for a good meal. Everything from transport to amenities is well thought out. This place truly offers great value and a seamless experience. I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Sydney.
Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour
The Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour truly exceeded my expectations. The facilities are top-notch, and the service was professional and welcoming throughout our stay. I’d recommend booking breakfast in advance—especially during peak times—as it tends to fill up quickly. While the pool is on the smaller side, it’s perfectly suitable for a quick swim after a day exploring the city. Located right in the heart of Sydney, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around by train or on foot. Everything from the room comfort to the staff’s attentiveness made this stay unforgettable. A fantastic choice for travelers who value location, quality, and value—all in one.
Manor Boutique Hotel
My one-night stay at Manor Boutique Hotel in Sydney turned out to be a major disappointment. The room was freezing cold, and the heater simply didn’t work—despite reporting it immediately to reception. A staff member came by to check, but the issue wasn’t resolved. We were told to wait until the next day for assistance, which made no sense when we were already leaving the following morning. After checking out, we never received a single follow-up call or message from the hotel. Poor communication, weak management, and zero customer care. The entire experience fell far short of expectations. I won’t be returning, and I definitely won’t recommend this place to friends or family. Given how unsatisfactory the service was, I believe a refund is absolutely warranted—this stay wasn’t worth the price.
Hamilton Lodge Apartments by Urban Rest
Staying at Hamilton Lodge Apartments was a fantastic experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great cafes, restaurants, and shops. The suite itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and well-equipped with all the comforts you'd want in a home away from home. However, the management team was slow to respond and came across as a bit unfriendly. We had to call and email several times just to get our access details, which was frustrating. Despite that hiccup, the property’s quality, cleanliness, and convenience more than make up for it. If you're looking for a stylish, centrally located stay in Sydney, this place is definitely worth considering.
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.

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.
