What guests think

At Sydney Boutique Hotel, travellers often highlight the convenient, walkable location and generally friendly, helpful staff, while noting compact rooms—some without opening windows—and steep stairs due to no lift, plus occasional maintenance and noise issues.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many mention tidy rooms and fresh linen, but there are recurring reports of odours, insects, and missed housekeeping details. Value for money is seen as fair for the area by several guests, though refund or room-allocation disputes were frustrating for a few. Expect a basic, centrally located stay suited to short visits.

This hotel was extremely disappointing. Perhaps we should have read the fine print more! 3 flights of very narrow steps. The room was extremely small with no window. Bathroom so small you had to sit sideways on the toilet. Very dated room. The floor definitely did not appear to have been washed for a while. The staff on the other hand could not have been more helpful and it's a great location. But.mmmi feel you could do better!

Staff was kind & location was convenient. Rooms were small & bare bones. Sink did not have hot water, turning to hot resulted in no water flow. Bathroom is essentially a wet room despite their effort to use a shower curtain. You must be able to navigate stairs as there is no elevator. Early check-in is a luggage hold of the room is not ready which is helpful. Beds were comfortable.

My husband and I stayed one night at this 3 star rated accommodation in a superior room, which is the one in their pictures. It was slightly smaller than expected, but the king sized bed and pillows were so comfy to sleep in, the room was very clean, bathroom very functional with lovely rain shower that it’s perfect for a quick visit, with a very reasonable tariff. Bring your hairdryer if needed. Opening off the room is a gigantic balcony/ terrace area. Great area to sit out on and have a few drinks, if you have time, and gives the room a lot of interest. The staff were super pleasant and helpful with everything. The hotel is close to some great restaurants, Kings Cross, the Sydney CBD. Being from the South Coast we booked safe parking which is a short walk away from the hotel.

Great location, lovely staff at front desk during select hours. Room was very small, tight room (unable to stand in front of closet and open it). Room was not clean, hair on floor and toothpaste on sink. The bed was comfortable and the shower had great water pressure and no issues with hot water. Overall an ok stay for the location but would definitely look at all the options around before booking

We booked a room for night before we flew back to US after a 6 week stay. There were 3 of us so I booked the biggest room I could which had a double and a single bed and literally no other space. We could barely fit our 3 backpacks and carry ons. Luckily we had stored our 2 big suitcases elsewhere. There was no room and no lift and we were 2 floors up. Room had 2 sealed, darkened windows with no light. It was awful. We had paid for a 2nd night and our flight was delayed, but we left anyway and found a better place (The Oaks) to stay and repack for the long trip home.

Subsequent phone calls to hotel were met with staff telling me I was wasting their time and hanging up the phone. Do NOt stay here

Unfortunately our experience was not positive. There was quite a bad smell from the room when we arrived. The hotel acknowledged it and sprayed air freshener but couldn't identity where it was from. They were fully booked so could not consider any alternative rooms. We were not willing to stay in that room with that smell so gave the keys back. The front desk advised he has no authority to provide refunds and I should contact the office in the morning. The office responded the next day sorry but no refunds. There view the next guest today has not conplained. That may be the case after having it empty a night to air out that could well be possible. I am disappointed that after acknowledging it they weren't willing to provide any sort of compensation, whether that be a full refund, partial refund or hotel credit. Otherwise location seemed convenient and close to public transport.

Sydney Boutique Hotel was amazing in terms of location. It is near to food, transportation and situated to quiet street. The room was enough for its price. The only thing that makes it bad was the coffee cups were not cleaned, it still has traces of coffee inside, which housekeeping immediately cleaned as soon as I asked them to, sadly it still smells.
