The Occidental Hotel
8.1 (167 reviews)

The Occidental Hotel ★★

📍 43 York St, Wynyard, Sydney

"The location of this place is absolutely unbeatable! It's super convenient, with the subway station right across the street. The subway station even has a Coles supermarket, which is incredibly handy for grabbing some food. Plus, another supermarket downstairs accepts WeChat Pay, which is a huge bonus! There's a bar downstairs, which gets quite busy every day, but it closes at 10 PM, so it's not noisy at night because of the bar. However, it can still be quite noisy, probably because it's in a central transport hub with so many people around. I had a room with three beds all to myself, and the sheets were very clean. The room also had a sink, microwave, and fridge, which was actually quite accommodating. The only downside is that breakfast isn't provided, and it's not super convenient to make your own. The bathroom is outside the room, but I never encountered anyone else in the toilet or shower during my stay."

London Gate Backpackers Hostel
7.4 (115 reviews)

London Gate Backpackers Hostel ★

📍 172-174 Victoria St, Kings Cross, Sydney

"The innkeeper should reconsider how to use people here. There is an elderly woman staying here, and often works for her elderly uncle when he is on leave. She obviously became like the boss there. If guests are not on her side, she will find excuses to correct them, such as kicking them out... The guests staying there must listen to her, otherwise, she will make up stories and boycott them. out of there. With the ignorance and consent of the hotel manager there. It feels like an underground force is built here."

Adge Hotel & Residence
8.6 (286 reviews)

Adge Hotel & Residence ★★★★

📍 212 Riley St, Sydney

"Unique place. Great service and friendly staff. Very easy check in and check out"

Hotel Bondi Hotels in Sydney

Hotel Bondi

"Excellent location for the perfect view of the beach. Plus sunrise. Clean room with clean beds. Toilets is usually a challenge for many guests including me. Their toilet is clean with minimal amenities. Water pressure is great. Balcony is wonderful. Room door to balcony is not very secure and tight thus the wind will sips through and do not feel scared during the night if you hear “sounds”… Only 1 lift to all levels. No breakfast available, many restaurants around at a few mins walk offers. Mac is only 1 min away. Security: after 8/10pm, the main door will be locked and need key card to tap. This is very good! There is a casino which has jackpots machines at main level. Can contribute to their economy. I did. Dinner at the hotel is decent with good pricing. Worth trying. Overall, this is a hotel I will recommend. Go for it!"

Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotels in Sydney

Sofitel Sydney Wentworth

"The room generally met expectations, and the service was good. Our flight arrived around 6 AM on the first day, and the hotel allowed us to check in upon arrival. However, after checking in, we found the soundproofing wasn't great; we could clearly hear street noise from our 11th-floor room. But after giving feedback to the front desk, they moved us to another side. Although we could still hear some noise, we felt the hotel's service attitude was good, so we accepted it. First, a definite highlight was the incredibly comfortable bedding – all four of us agreed we slept wonderfully. Second, the hotel's location is excellent. It's only an 8-minute walk to Circular Quay, making it convenient for whale watching tours or catching a ferry to the zoo. The best part is the food court right next to the hotel, which has one of Sydney's most popular ice cream shops. We stayed for 6 nights and went for ice cream on 3 of them! A minor downside is that they don't automatically restock bottled water. Other reviews also mentioned that water was only provided on the first day. Also, used bath towels need to be left in the bathtub for them to be replaced (there's a sign on the bathroom door, so pay attention! 😂)."

The Occidental Hotel ★★
"It's quite unique, with a bar downstairs. I happened to be there on Anzac Day, so the bar was packed. For check-in, you just go directly to the bar. For check-out, you simply drop the key into a designated slot. Given its location and price, it's a great option for solo travelers."

Maze Backpackers - Sydney ★
"I am usually not one to complain all that much if a hostel is not meeting my expectations but given the rating and price of this hostel, I feel the need to do so. The basic amenities of this hostel are non existent. I was staying in a single room with access to the shared bathroom. There is no hair dryer anywhere. There are no paper towels or tissues anywhere. The Rooms: the rooms are pretty small and have nothing in them except for a bed, nightstand, mirror, clothing rack and trash can. There is no heating. It was 8 degrees celsius when I stayed there and since they didn't bother to install a seal in the windows, it was also 8 degrees in the room. All you get is one towel and one thin blanket. If you want more you have to pay for it. Thankfully I had ski underwear with me that barely took care of that. It also didn't strike me as very clean. This was the first hostel in the last 3 months of continuous travel where I felt the need to use a liner while sleeping. Next issue was the bathrooms. I understand that it is not the hostels fault that inconsiderate people are staying there. When there is pee all over the floor and seats, the toilets are not flushed, shavings are left behind and some people simply seeming unwilling to clean up after themselves, you do not feel very sanitary there. But at the same time I feel that if there are issues like these, then you have to adress them. Up the cleaning schedule. But the issues that are exclusively up to the hostel annoyed me more. There was only one bathroom for a whole floor. It only had three toilets and one pissoir, for probably around up to 200 people. 2 of the four faucets were broken. The bathroom is set up in a way where the access to the toilets is blocked if someone is using the faucets. The only trash can is on the opposite end of the room, not near the faucets. There is no rack to store your soap in the showers. There are no hangers or shelves to lay down your stuff while using the faucets. Where am I supposed to keep my toothbrush when I wash my face? Certainly not on the spaces between the faucets, since they are wetter than aswampy! Another thing that was a little bit annoying, is that there was no access to the kitchen after 11pm. This meant that it was not possible to fill up a water bottle after that. Since there were people loudly talking and slamming doors at 2 am, I understand why the kitchen is closed at night though. On a positive note: the location of this hostel is awesome. You can walk to most places without a problem. Also the people working the reception were very nice. All in all I have to say that I don't understand how this is rated this highly and how they felt this price was appreciate. This makes me actually afraid of what lies ahead of me in Australia! I would everyone with an expectation of at least a basic level of hygiene and comfort to stay away!"
