We stayed 20 nights in April 2022 and Skye Suites Green Square is hands down the best lodging choice I have made in Sydney in the past 15 years. My general criteria for any room is that it is quiet, can be suitably darkened at night for sleep and that the bed be comfortable. It excelled in all three elements. Further positives included a front desk that was unfailingly pleasant and responsive to requests, and available at all times. Every major box was ticked. Some general comments about the room that may be helpful to others: the bathroom lighting in really inadequate for everything except general hygiene (my wife was unable to use the bathroom to put on makeup or do her hair); the TV station choices were limited and the sound didn't work on several of them; furniture for sitting was at best comfortable for only short periods; the laundry in the room was excellent and detergent was supplied but the dishwasher was rarely used as it worked poorly; there is a light on the balcony that can be turned on and off; umbrellas were available at the front desk; there are USB ports beside the bed; the wi-fi was excellent. Some general location comments that may prove helpful to others: the location is right at the Green Square Metro station and can be accessed within minutes; there were several excellent restaurant choices within a few minutes walk; there were a couple of fast food choices close by; there was a well stocked Woolworth's Metro grocery store across the street; at the time of writing the fare for a taxi to Sydney airport was less than the train fare with airport access fees for 2 people ($30AUD) so we used a taxi - not sure about taxi fares from the airport as we took a shuttle.

Noisy, plain, and tired. Luxury? I've found more luxury in rural South Australia than here. Firstly my room was noisy - Really noisy - mainly from car noise from the Eastern Distributor which runs right in front of it. Clearly this is a known issue as they provide earplugs with a little apology (see pic). The fittings are old, the light switches, the bedside clock / radio. There is not a single USB charging port anywhere that I could find. There was a random cheap Bunnings power board hanging out underneath the bedside table. The shower head was loose and sprayed water everywhere while having a shower. I asked for it to be fixed, which it was by the time I returned, but do you think they replaced the saturated bath matt which I had to use to mop up the water? No, of course they didnt. Older people, be warned. The shampoo/conditioner provided have such fine writing that anyone needing more than +1 reading glasses need to find them to figure out which is which- ideally before stepping in the shower. And then need to find them again to figure out how to peel off the completely unnecessary silver seal ... The bed barley fitted between the wall and it was a squeeze to get in the LHS. No late night food nor drink options in or near the hotel. There are a few breakfast options. Probably my own fault for not checking that out.

Located conveniently for an overnight stay between flights, the hotel did the job. A reasonably friendly checking-in process and I was grateful for an early check in as well after an overnight flight, thank you Valuesuites. The room is very small, mine had a single bed (not firm, but it was OK) and road noise carries, however with the window closed (which I liked being able to open for fresh air, great!), the road noise was much less. The room is fitted with all you need. Shower hot water was good. The next morning, as a coffee drinker, you are very well looked after with a Nescafe capsule machine on the first floor, with a wide variety of coffee to choose from. This, together with some quality breakfast snacks included adjacent (muesli bars, fruit/nut mix and cheese and crackers), well, these were a nice touch, thank you. For the price, location and coffee:) a good choice for an overnighter between flights that's not too expensive, nor far from the airport / Airport rail / Woolworths and cafes.

Veriu Green Square Hotel for my three week stay was absolutely amazing. I was looked after so well by: Timo, Jo, Chelsea, Indre, Heidi and also the reception team, housekeeping team and the maintenance team. I appreciated the fun, fabulous and friendly atmosphere. The bedroom (Room 621) was wonderful, as were all the amenities (such as the laundry room on the first floor). Every single member of staff made me feel so welcome and special, especially with it being my first ever trip to Australia (from London). I would highly recommend this delightful hotel to my family, friends, networks and contacts. I have just booked another long stay for Sydney Mardi Gras 2024 and looking forward to it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please keep up the superb work at the Veriu Green Square Hotel in Sydney.

Everything was great, the lady who checked me in was very efficient. The only thing was there wasn't any coffee in the the room but thats ok. Parking isn't guarranteed, which could be a worry. You could check in, then go out on business then come back in the evening and not have a parking spot if the hotel was full, even though you pay up front in advance. That could be annoying at the end of a long day. But otherwise all was good and will stay again.

Loved staying here, nearby the Moore Park SCG, Hordern Pavillion and Allianz stadium for sport and concerts I attended. Crown Street is full of great local restaurants and cafes, and the pub downstairs has great food and drinks. Rooms are completely silent, air conditioned and beds nice big and comfy. Everything was nice and clean, looking forward to coming back here on my next trip.

Only gave 1 star due to not being able to give 0. Black mold over entire bathroom. Not a single tiled surface was mold free. Cockroaches crawling in at night under the doors. The vent of the air con unit was covered in dust and more black mold. Not that the air con unit worked anyway. We stayed middle of winter so lucky for us all the sheets including pillows were made entirely of plastic (natural fibres would have left us freezing). Staff were only there probably to clean and that's it, because we never saw them. Ever! We tried to check in 20 minutes early and the lady claimed ”there is no luggage storage”. Lo and behold, when we were finally checked in there is a massive painted sign saying ”luggage storage”. Also, the room wasn't ready even by 2PM, the stated check-in time. We saw one gentleman traveller waiting outside to check in at 7PM in the freezing cold for God knows how long he sat there, but we were unable to let him in due to signage explicitly stating that letting in people would lead to non-refundable expulsion. Also, the doors only open with an App, so if your phone does good luck getting in. Honestly, if my phone died, I would have called the cops and had them find a way to let us in with the non-existent staff. Cleaning lady was so lovely. Reception lady was horrible. Kitchen had a faulty stove that was always firing. This is probably not advisable, as a simple gas leak could mean this misfiring burner will blow the place up - if only that would happen (with no-one staying there), because that is the only way this place is going to get better (a complete rebuild). Kitchen was filthy, with no cups to be seen anywhere. I probably wouldn't have used them anyway. Why the heck is there a massive tarp covering the balcony? Did this place semi-burn down??? Also would like to state that the photos provided are most likely from the Glebe location that they also own. The photos looked simple, which is what I wanted. Simple, not freaking disgusting. I have stayed in backpackers in Africa that are legitimately better than this hell-hole. Might I add that one of those places included a room with no glass in the window, and I found that place better than The Village!!!! I have copied this review in case it is ”magically” lost. I will be posting it elsewhere.

Stayed in room 77. Beds very comfortable and clean, bathroom was clean lovely hot shower, small balcony with double glass doors to keep traffic noise out. They work well. Situated a short walk to Redfern Station, abit longer to central. Will stay again, front desk very obliging.

The room is big enough, the facilities are very complete, washing machines and dryers are even available! There are also pots and pans, you can cook by yourself. Adequate parking space The room is cleaned once a week, and the supplies are replenished, which is too uncomfortable. Environmental photos are misleading to customers. The service staff is very good and there is no fault in the rules.
