What guests think

At City Budget Hotel, travellers highlight a convenient, walkable location and good value, with many spacious rooms—some featuring balconies or rooftop terraces with city views—and consistently friendly, helpful staff that make short city stays straightforward.

A recurring drawback is the lack of an elevator, with steep stairs to upper floors. Noise from nearby bars, street activity, and thin walls disturbs sleep for some, especially on weekends or during nearby construction. Cleanliness and maintenance feedback is mixed, with several clean stays but multiple reports of mouldy showers, odours, and worn fixtures. Expect a budget base that prioritizes value and space over amenities, with trade-offs in noise, stairs, and polish.

Good location for our trip, room was a good size and beds were comfortable. Could do with some charging points, so take your wall plugs. There is no lift so need to take that into consideration for those that can’t do stairs. Overall happy with our stay.

I think the whole area will be torn down very soon for new structures. Hotel is like a Hostel. Bare minimum care for building. Steep stairs. No elevator. However, if you are just looking to have a bed, & hot & cold water. This is the place for the price.

We stayed on the top floor and had an amazing large balcony on the roof with the best view! There is no elevator but we didn't mind. The location is good, close to bus stops into the city and you can walk to cool shops, cafes and bars. The person on the desk was very friendly and accommodating with our bags.

The hotel room is fairly good --- large and well-equipped. though the faucet of the sink does not work well. The only problem of the hotel is that it doesn't have any lifts. The upper floor you stay, the harder you do with your suitcases. Wonderful service is that the front desk clerk brings a suitcase up to your room, maybe depending on the gest age and sex. Overall this hotel is reasonable for its price.

It was ok for a cheap hotel except the shower. No exhaust fan has left the bathroom roof covered in black mould and the paint peeling off. The shower itself was also very dirty. It didn’t look like it had ever had been scrubbed clean. The walls and windows are thin so you can hear every noise around the building from people coming up the stairs, to people talking in the street below. Not a problem if you’re a heavy sleeper.

Ridiculous amount of mould and dirt in the showe and in the tiles around the toilet. It felt extremely unhygienic, it hadn’t been cleaned properly if at all in many months. Kettle was covered in dust and had black bits coming off the bottom into my hot drinks. I did ask for another one and it was replaced. Bed and linen was fine. Table tops and carpet also fine.

Stayed in this hotel expecting it to be similar to the photos displayed on website. This was not the case. The room was very small and very crammed. The facilities were not up to a decent standard the whole Room needs to be renovated and cleaned thoroughly. The quality of sleep we got was very poor due to pipes in the room banging and the air conditioning system making extreme noise when on. Overall very disappointed with the room and hindered the experience of Sydney .

I should have done a little more research on the area and the hotel. It was in a dirty area, also full on LGBGT, not that that is a problem in itself, but it was a big surprise. It was only about 15 - 20 minute walk to quality stores and transportation. The staff was very helpful and stored our luggage before and after our stay. Bed was comfortable and clean. A thumping music beat from somewhere close to the hotel kept us awake the first night for quite a while. It didn't happen the second night. However, strong construction noise from next door woke us on both days.

The instructions to check in after hours were easy to follow. There was a distinct odour when we walked in, which was not pleasant. Must have had a run on the wrong side as it was very noisy on the street and couldn't close the window. It was ok for a few hours sleep as we checked in late and left early.

Widely considered convenient and walkable, close to buses and central sights, and in the Oxford Street area. The lively neighbourhood brings street and bar noise for some, and a few mention construction or a grittier feel.
