Attended an art exhibition and a first timer in Sydney for my partner, really gave a disappointing experience for us. When we first arrived, it was really hard to even unload our goods, because it was right on the main street and in front of NO STOPPING or BUS ZONE sign. Then we had to struggle to find into the... more

When we found this place on the net i thought the photos of the reception area would be a reasonable indication of the rooms. I was soooo wrong!! I have learnt a valuable lesson that if a hotel only advertises pics of common areas... its because they are not proud of their rooms. My own experience at this budget hotel... more

We are 2 star hotel inspected and accredited every year by AAA Tourism Australia. Unfortunately, (???) people have described our reception and guest lounge areas as "stunningly beautiful" and they can look like a 5 star hotel on a quick glance. AAA Tourism asked us for permission to use photos of our hotel on the AAATourism.com.au website, to illustrate how...

The moment we were dropped outside this so called lodge our hearts sunk...we could not get into reception and had to buzz a delapidated buzzer for someone to come and unlock a metal gate. The reception area is as it looks on the website photos and that is where it stops... They asked for payment upfront so we were a... more

These guests say they were disappointed with either our hotel or our location as soon as they arrived. When I answered the intercom, I could tell that they were upset by something before they entered the hotel. I told my staff to expect them to cancel the booking and to just give them a full refund without any argument or...

We were staying in the worst hostel in sydney just after the new year period so we didnt have much choice. We found this motel on the internet and it was one of the only ones that could fit 3 people in one room for our stay so we took it. Its only two stops from Central station and turned... more

The Australian Sunrise Lodge is an extremely odd place. The hostel itself is a bit dingy with a tiny kitchen and no laundry, but is fairly clean and otherwise ok. Our room was quite small and was full of beds, and the cupboards were chained to the wall. Also, our double bed was two singles pushed together with a sheet... more

The guests say were disappointed when they first got out of the taxi and saw our hotel. Its inevitable that some guests will not like our "bohemian" location in the arts centre of Newtown, and our street-front reception entrance. Thats totally OK with us and we understand this issue. Other guests say they love being able to just walk out...

Stayed here for three nights in February and was extremely disappointed. Felt that the internet photos were misleading. The room was dirty, hot and noisy. The bathroom plastic shower curtain was full of mould and soap scum and the room was very small. The reception was unattended at all times. A buzzer connected you to someone somewhere to answer your... more

Our apologies to this guest for finding the room "dirty hot and noisy". Both "hot" and "noisy" are sometimes beyond our control. We dont allow parties or let guests disturb others with noise if we know about it. Please tell us if you are being disturbed by noise. To get the best benefit of our passive climate control systems, we...
