Sydney Motels

good value

The way an old Sailors' Home had been transformed into a very modern and comfortable hotel. The reception closes at 6pm. We were delayed and did not have access to a phone to arrange a delayed check in and were nearly excluded for the night.

This is a quiet, clean, comfortable, hospitable and reasonably priced private hotel in an interesting neighbourhood within a short walk of the NSW Art Gallery and NSW State Library and the Botanical Gardens. There are several good pubs within short staggering distance, as well as Harry's Cafe de Wheels, one of Sydney's top outdoor restaurants. The nearby waterfront is also interesting to visit and to contemplate while eating one of Harry's pies with mushy peas. A nice place to stay if visiting Sydney for a few days for pleasure or business. Your breakfast is self-service and as generous as you like. The main failing of this hotel is that the reception desk is only staffed for limited hours. You are advised to check in before 6 or 7pm, as there are extra fees and uncertainties about late check in. You need also to be self-reliant after 7pm until 7:30am as there is no service as such at the hotel over those hours. You will be given a front door key. For myself this has never been a problem over several stays over several years. This is the situation in many small private hotels.

central to many tourists sights

Leaving it. Pillows dirty, noisy, smelt, light in shower did'nt work was given a light globe to fit ourselves, still did not work, kettle did not work, overall a very disapointed stay

The location is useful with nice coffee shops around The room was badly kept with the curtains torn and unable to close properly. It was very noisy and not value for money. Breakfast was a sorry affair.

price - value relation, nearby centre. Easy public transport Choice of breakfast small, Size of the room

very close to all centre facilities very dirty and uncofortable beds

Pool was clean room was promptly cleaned every day. Pleasant cleaning staff. Windows blocked out reasonable well the sound from the street as we are shift workers who sleep in. Curtains kept out light for same reasons As before. Bathroom was cramped and only got hot water if no one else in hotel was using it. Whilst we stayed it was very hot the garage was horrible to be in. The stairs access to the garage from the hotel side was filthy I was scared to touch anything it stunk and there were stains everywhere.

Close to everything Very noisy, bathroom extremely small

Proximity to the beach and ferry Lack of decent kitchen facilities

The location, fantastic being so close to the beach and the Manly CBD The bathroom facilities were old and in need of repair, shower was tiny and took ages to regulate the hot water

The location was excellent close to shops & resturants, excellent views and a large sunny, private balcony with outdoor dining and a barbeque.Manager & Reception staff very welcoming and pleasant to deal with. It was let down by neglect of maintenance particularly in bedrooms where many curtain hooks were missing and light bulb out at top of stairs as you entered, this area was quite dark and stairs as you opened the door unexpected.

pool view gym location restaurant design claustrophobic, staff offhand,

the cleaning service of the room every day. the facilities of having free tea,coffe etc lack of information about buses and metro the lack of channels in the TV the interior design, carpets, etc

The staff were very nice.It was close to public transport.The beds were comfortable. There were to many beds in the room, made it very cluttered & squashy.

Clean towels daily and beds made up each day. Dirty stairwells with worn carpets and smellt of cigarette smoke, stale smell in the bedroom and it needed redecorating. Noise travelled from corridors to rooms.

the location of the hotel just 20minutes train two darling harbour. safety yes, i cant understand why that guys charge my credit card if i pay in cash the 3 nigths , the charge two nigths to my credit card i need your help to reverse the transaction

Nice clean room. After checking in there was no record of my stay on the computer. So my access key did not work the next day, the room had not been serviced and more worrying the room could have been rented out to somebody else with my belongings still in the room. Even after checking out the hotel contacted me to find out what room I stayed in.

We went to watch the rugby, the shuttle service was good, the room was very noisey, but nothing that earplugs couldn't fix, our room access card didn't work on the 2nd day, that was fixed quickly, room was clean and basic. No lift

petrol station right next door... the male staff upon arrival was rude and not helpful...didn't know that debit card could be used like a credit card even though it had VISA on it... would not stay there again..the shower was shocking water all over the floor
