The place is not far from Kings Cross metro station. The manager gave great tips on where to go for dinner, drinks. I don't know if it is the greatest hotel in Sydney, but it is good bang for the buck. more

I remember reading other people's review of the hotel and their remarks on the bathrooms-- they are strange, dark, and dank after a shower. Those things are true, not dealbreakers, but true. Overall, it's a very nice building, I thought the manager was very thoughtful and I liked the overall vibe of the place, not to mention that neighborhood is... more

If you are wanting a really great value hotel for Sydney I just dont think the Altamont could be beaten. This hotel is fantastic!

We had four nights at the Altamont. It was our first visit to Sydney, and we chose well with the Altamont. - Excellent location, just 5 mins to the Kings Cross station as well as a number of buses going into the centre of Sydney. Just next to Victoria Street which had a good number of quality restaurants and bars... more

While some of the dodgier parts of the Kings Cross neighborhood are... more

In the middle of Darlinghurst, steps from wonderful cafes & restaurants. And walking distance to more! Also near multiple public transit options. Unfortunately, there is a but. Room was damp and dark. Room was cleaned daily, but inconsistent service. That being said, I've stayed at far worse places. You get what you pay for, good in a pinch. more

Not only was it just a great place to stay (location,price etc.) but then Alan went out of his way to help us celebrate our daughter's wedding by allowing us to use the lobby for cake and tea for the 10 of us!! - definitely above and beyond. more

This was my 3rd of 4th stay at the Altamont. I love this hotel for the following reasons: 1) Rooms: All rooms are of generous size and have a comfotable feel. This year, we stayed in a room with access to the small courtyard and it was very bright and very spacious. We also had a small fridge which was... more
