Hotels with Bars in Newtown

Overall an unpleasant stay in (Billabong Gardens), which is now rebranded as Summer House Newtown, part of the Summer House hostel chain. There was a short bald Australian guy, who was notably obnoxious to deal with, and made offensive remarks about women. The manager was also a socially awkward individual to have to deal with. The location is okay, close to King Street, and many restaurants and shops. Walking distance to Broadway Shopping Centre, and city. The real problem with this hostel is with the many infantile rules that they have, the lack of atmosphere or friendliness, and the lack of cleanliness. I had bugs in my room, running around on the floor. Based on my stay, I would not want to recommend this hostel, there are better ones in Sydney.

After reading so many bad reviews about The Urban – I decided to stay there to debunk some of these fussy reviews after being told by a friend that this hotel is after all, a great and very cool boutique hotel. I stayed at The Urban recently on a Saturday night to attend a gig on King Street. Firstly, the location of this hotel is convenient and fantastic! The Urban, situated on Enmore Road of course is close to the heart of King Street, and even better the venue I was going to was only a few blocks up, not to mention the hotel is surrounded by an array of shops, restaurants, and cafes along Enmore road too. So once you park - easy walking is your friend and access to everything that is cool in Newtown is there. For those expecting a 5-star Sheridan experience, this is not for you and maybe that is why you’ve written some of these harsh reviews. Yes, the rooms can be a little loud on and off from Saturday night revellers drunkenly walking past, however, I assume given the location you would be hard pressed to find any hotel that offers complete unbroken sleep – Newtown does not sleep after all, therefore, maybe Newtown is not for you. The Hotel advertises as boutique / Industrial style accommodation, and I believe that is what they offer. The Receptionist staff were friendly – the room was very clean with industrial touches (that’s the whole point of the cement roof, people!). The bed was fantastically comfortable (stayed in a King room), and I absolutely loved the artsy dystopian style greenery in the belly of the building that offered an obscure tranquillity while walking to your room. The Urban isn’t a break the bank cost for one night’s accommodation in this popular area of the Inner West. You will be paying for location, comfort, and cleanliness. I do agree however, the room should offer coffee pods to go with their coffee machine – just as The Urban’s amazing sister hotel The Collectionist did. All this and an 11am check out on a Sunday. We want to say thanks for having us “The Urban” and we will be back

Small, the benefits are cheap, free parking is also fake, just can stop at the back of the road, not necessarily have parking spaces, security feels very bad.
