Though it isn't a 5-star hotel, the Altamont was made so by it's wonderfully attentive and caring staff. I stayed here for about a month while working at the Opera House and was pleased to have done so. The entire team at the Altamont is always available to help and make your stay a comfortable one, and I'm grateful to... More

A bit pricey, but if you get a superior room it's a great place to stay halfway between Kings Cross and Oxford St, either only 5 mins walk away. Breakfast is cereal and toast, tea and coffee and parking is available, but there are only two spots so book early if you want one. Ample parking available close by but... More

We normally stay in the CBD but chose this property as it was in an area of restaurants and bars - ideal for evenings. The property does need attention - the decoration is a little tired with the bathrooms needing a refurb first of all. The staff were very helpful - it felt like we were staying with our great...

I stayed at Altamont for 5 days, unfortunately it was the only half-decent hotel I could find at that time! The room was damp, musty and dirty. The only thing good about that hotel was the man at reception. He was very helpful. But for $180 AU$/night. It's... I'm afraid to say... [--]. There wasn't even a phone in our... More

We stayed at the Altamont for nearly 3 weeks (Dec 27 2011 - Jan 15 2012). This hotel is exceptionally good - Alan and the staff there are charismatic and very helpul. We chose to stay at the Altamont since it was recommended in Lonely Planet, Rough Guide and Sydney Time out. We stayed in a room with patio space... More

I should say first that I actually stayed here in late 2008, but I forgot to write a review until I started planning my next Oz trip for this year! However, judging from the reviews here, it is still as nice as I remember it. I found the Altamont to be a very pleasant place to stay. Initially, I was... More

We had a great time in Sydney staying at the Altamont, a small cozy place with a very warm and friendly atmosphere and fantastic staff. The hotel is situated within walking distance to the wharf, Opera House, Botanic Garden and the city centre. There are many nice restaurants, cafes, pubs, galleries and small shops in the surrounding area. We really... More

Good location, easy to get to all sites from here. Very comfortabe small and friendly hotel with a charming and helpful host- Alan- who provided a font of good information about things to see, how to get there and little gems of neighborhood restaurants. Nice small scale, quiet neighborhood. More

I stayed at the Altamont for 7 nights and it was perfect for everything I needed. Alan was fantastically helpful from the moment I called to make the booking. I really enjoyed my room with the patio space outside. It was peaceful and calm. The Altamont has a great atmosphere and is brilliantly situated for access to the city sites,... More
