Staff pleasant and helpful. We should have realised from the drapes hanging down from the ceiling in the reception that it was going to be a horror nite... The rooms are dark and dingy the sofa looks like something you would find on a verge bulk collection, the bed had wheels missing the painted walls looked like that they let... More

Spent 4 nights at the Kirketon Hotel 20-24 January 2012. Must say that I had a great stay because of the hotel's service and excellent location. It's in Darlinghurst, with proximity to the shops along Paddington, the cosy neighbourhood of Surry Hill with quaint shops, cafes, restaurants, and easy access to bus connections to beaches along the Eastern Coastal Walk....

I based my decision to stay at the Kirketon on reviews and also on its location. My immediate first impression was that the staff were friendly and helpful and helped us get into our rooms for an earlier check in. The room was facing the street but was very quiet and nicely done with all your need for a weekend... More

After reading reviews here and finding many above average reviews I opted for this over the Mantra 2 Bond Street as it was for a honeymoon trip therefore a 'boutique hotel' experience should have been more appropriate - WRONG Firstly - this is NOT a boutique hotel (note to Kirketon management team - if you get a chance check out...

We stayed in Kirketon for 4 nights in November 2011. The hotel is situated perfectly, it's quiet, but still nearby everything. Across the streets there are many coffee shops and great places for breakfast. The hotel is decorated quite dark, but is very stylish. We had a small room, but for 4 nights that was ok. Loved the hotel because... More

After reading the reviews i was a bit weary but was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, the service was outstanding and very helpful. We didn't find it too dark at all, it's more like mood lighting and gives the place a bit of quirky atmosphere. Yes, the rooms are small but you are in central Sydney! It's clean, reasonably new and great... More

wanted to stay in a small boutique hotel, so chose the Kirketon. Area was lovely, and was nice to be out of the CBD. Hotel within walking distance of the train to CBD for shopping & sight seeing.
