I recently booked my elderly parents into this hotel after giving them a choice of location and style of hotel. Sadly my father had a fall prior to departure and the trip was cancelled as he was unable to fly. The hotel reservations manager refused to refund payment prior to their arrival and has an extremely poor attitude. I would... More

As many previous reviewers have stated this is a gem of a hotel in a great location and within an easy walk of most things you'd want to do in Sydney. The decor is urban industrial. Rooms have all you need incl a comfy bed. If you want all the 'extras' that you get (and pay for) in a big... More

Was very impressed with our stay. Welcomed by the pup with the shiny coat and friendly manner. Very relaxed ambience and facilities spot on for the spend. Everything you needed for your stay comfy bed, clean, well appointed room and extremely well positioned in darlinghurst. Thanks for all the handy tips and we would stay again x

This was my 2nd & 3rd stay at the Altamont and is now the only place in Sydney that I will stay. It is exactly the type of hotel that I prefer - non conventional, friendly, every room is different and small with a great location! The staff are extremely helpful and Alan has does a great job to make... More

Clean and spacious room. The staff are very friendly and helpful by providing good advice on the routes to the main attraction in the city. There is a dog and she's very friendly to all travelers. The hotel is very close to Kings Cross station and it's easy to find. It is located in a relatively quiet area, a street... More

A somewhat belated review, but no less heartfelt -- Alan and Kurt were wonderful hosts! Although the online photos of the Altamont make it look a bit more posh than it actually is, I found the Altamont to be an excellent value -- my room was comfortable, clean, spacious, and in good repair; WiFi, TV, and A/C all worked well;...

The Altamont is a great location if you are happy to be in Kings Cross. Close to Oxford street and lots of good little restaurants close. We had a car which was an issue as there were no car bays available although Kurt advised us we could park in streets around the hotel for free after 6pm, we didn't get... More
