Establishment Hotel

A hidden Gem in the heart of the city.. Amazing service from all the super friendly team… Rooms were a very good size and extremely clean… Adjoins a number of amazing bars and restaurants - including the famous Mr Wong’s. Definitely recommend a stay for anyone looking to experience Sydney.

Excellent place, in particular the ear plugs!

Unusual and interesting boutique vibes, liked the Palmer and Co bar and Kid Kyoto restaurant being basically next door. Some street noise audible on a Saturday night but earplugs provided if you need them. Endearingly oddball selection of free movies on the telly.

First the not so good stuff. At first it was a little bit hard to find the entry to the hotel lobby, need to go down an ally/lane. Definitely needs more signs and a sign at the lobby door. The room we got had thin walls, we could hear the people in our neighboring rooms talking, and also a bit of music from a bar or night club. The room itself was a bit outdated, could use a lift up. The lighting system can be a bit confusing, but once you memorised the buttons it wasn't too bad. Now the good stuff, The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. The hotel itself has a nice old rustic feel to it, very moody. Hotel has direct access to 2 of the attached bars. And of course location wise, you can walk 5 minutes to anywhere, restaurant, bars, train stations, Circular Quay, and there's a light rail station next to the building.

Character hotel in great location. Great communication between checkin staff and adjoining restaurant Mr Wong who understood and managed our need to be fed quickly and off to the Opera house.

Very sophisticated hotel in the restaurant precinct. Staff really lovely. Breakfast delicious (in room dining). Bar on site. They gave us champagne on arrival because it was our wedding anniversary. Absolutely loved it. Will return.

Very noisy from the restaurants and bar located in the same building, they know since they provide ear plugs in the room. The room need some refurbishment.

Staff were great. room size was good. Noise was very bad with little to no noise insulation between the room and very large very loud bar which kept going to 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday had a wedding with live band running to midnight and Monday had nearby building works. If the owners could improve noise issues the Hotel would be great. As is we are unlikely to stay there again

古さを残した建物で趣きがあり、バスダブでゆっくり過ごす事ができた。建物の下にMr.Wongがあり最高の食事を取れた。場所的に夜、騒がしい。

Great boutique hotel in vibrant location. Super bar and club attached (no sound issue), eclectic common areas with large, comfortable rooms and furnishings. Walk to the Rocks, Opera House, trains and ferries.

It was clear this used to be a lovely hotel, but it seems it has been badly neglected. Chipped bathroom tiles that could easily be repaired, rusted bathroom ware, doors don’t close, light swtiches worn and don’t work. There were spiders on the bed and seriously noisy neighbourhood with a loud club next door that played loud music until 2am, and after that the noises from delivery trucks and people preparing in nearby restaurants. We wanted to change hotels in the middle of the night as we were not able to sleep at all due to the noise and fear of more spiders that might crawl in bed again. Such a shame and disgust for a Merivale hotel which is supposed to be a 5-start hotel. I think they should shut down and renovate as they are misleading guests. To add to the bad experience, access to the hotel reception was hard to find. There should be proper access from the bar off George St or at least signs from George St leading to Bridge Lane. We checked in on a Sunday and the Est Bar was closed and we struggled to find the hotel lobby looking for signs from the Est Bar door but there was none! I gave my feedback to the reception staff, they apologised and said the next time I come back they will put me in higher floors. Note this is a low rise building and the only you won’t hear that noise is if you were on level 20 or higher! Absolutely lacking sufficient comprehension of the severity of the problem and our experience. Not good enough Merivale!

Clean room, good size, housekeeping did a great job, has a mini fridge, tub and nice separate shower and separate WC. The manager was very helpful and friendly. The only issue is that the room's floor was wooden with no carpet or rugs. As a result, you could hear the person(s) in the room above walking with high heels, and moving the chairs/table around, suitcases being pulled around, etc. Also there is a nightclub at the end of the same alley about 200 feet away, and we were there over a weekend from Thur. through Sun. Could sometimes hear the music and people's voices in the alley that also contained a very popular, crowded restaurant.

At almost 500 dollars a night it’s the worst value ever. Rooms are filthy and place desperately needs a revamp. On top of that it was super noisy and dust mites in the bed. Don’t do it !

We stayed here for one night and would not want to stay for longer due to the noise from surrounding bars/entertainment which went on until 3am. The room was large with a huge en-suite but needs to be renovated due to deteriorating/broken floor tiles. Could not fault the friendly helpful staff.

The Establishment was beautiful for its time but sadly she’s a little tired. Our room was nice but furniture very banged up and dated. Definitely needs some love especially for its higher price tag. Staff were lovely. However cleanliness questionable. Found lots of hair in bathroom and dirty robe in cupboard hanging in wardrobe. We had a nice stay.

Front desk staff was great very knowledgeable and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. It was loud, could hear the music from the bar in the room late into the night making it hard to sleep.

Friendly service, clean room, convenient location.

Terrible choice for our anniversary weekend. Photos looked amazing online but the reality was far different. Property hasnt been maintained well cracked tiles broken toilet roll holder and a bathroom door that didnt shut. Wood floors throughout meant you could hear everything so no privacy and meant a rough nights sleep. Lights on timers which we didnt know until they kept going out. Also be sure to have a physical card on you for check in as they wouldnt accept a scan of a digital and forced us to provide $500 cash for a security deposit. Had we been told when booking this was a requirement we would have made sure we had it rather than beimg blindsided on arrival. Staff were unwillingly to compromise or provide information about closest ATM either. Very dissapointed

I had to make a last-minute change to my booking and the hotel manager facilitated this process kindly. The surrounding area of this hotel is very good with good access to public transport and the city. It's a very clean and stylish hotel.

Great location. Lovely old building and big room.

Yes Rooms a bit noisy .. paper thin walls

First the not so good stuff. At first it was a little bit hard to find the entry to the hotel lobby, need to go down an ally/lane. Definitely needs more signs and a sign at the lobby door.

This hotel is great and the staff were fantastic. Unfortunately it has really weird system for lights etc in the room and I couldn’t figure it out. It was controlled from a phone that wasn’t anywhere near the bed & was not intuitive. Nowhere in the room was it written how to dial reception, so I had to phone the hotel number on my own phone. I was then chided for not reading my welcome letter where, apparently, it was written. Just having dial 9 for reception written on the phone works for every other hotel in the world. That was the only problem. It is in a very convenient and surprisingly quiet location.

We stayed here for one night and would not want to stay for longer due to the noise from surrounding bars/entertainment which went on until 3am. The room was large with a huge en-suite but needs to be renovated due to deteriorating/broken floor tiles. Could not fault the friendly helpful staff.

It’s just nice overall but is starting to show its age

Staff were great. room size was good. Noise was very bad with little to no noise insulation between the room and very large very loud bar which kept going to 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday had a wedding with live band running to midnight and Monday had nearby building works. If the owners could improve noise issues the Hotel would be great.

Front desk staff was great very knowledgeable and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. It was loud, could hear the music from the bar in the room late into the night making it hard to sleep.

The room was huge! Loved the ease of check in and out. The location is most excellent. Will definitely stay again.

Spacious. Comfortable bed. Great for transport and a good choice of restaurants nearby.

the hotel was very good in comfort and location and also the hotel front desk team were most helpful

We had a great time at Establishment Hotel since we arrived. Friendly and accommodating staff, delicious breakfast, complimentary water and coffee in room, very comfortable bed and spacious studio room.

Classy hotel, great staff and service.

The service staff and facilities are phenomenal! Charlotte is an absolute gem- kindly going well above her requirements to make our stay comfortable and special. She had escorted me to our room, provided a complimentary champagne for our anniversary and took our dine-in order within minutes of checking in. Charlotte was very courteous in bringing it to our room at the exact time I had asked. Wonderful!

Awesome boutique hotel, wonderful warehouse conversion full of character and super friendly staff. Great location. Loved it.

From the first entrance to this hotel I knew I picked the right one for my stay. The concierge Jazz was outstanding in service, going out of her way to help me feel welcome. The lobby was absolutely beautiful and the scent in the air was extremely memorable

From the greeting, to the service, to the attention to detail, to the comfort of the bed and the elegance of the rooms, this place is next level. Manager Rano is an absolute gentleman. Just stay here.

The Establishment Hotel is located in a fabulous part of Sydney close to many restaurants and pubs. Short walk to Circular Quay and Darling Harbor:) We loved it.

Unbelievable stay - happy hour on 5-7, good drinks, brilliant breakfast. Perfect location 5 min walk to circular quay. Staff were brilliant! We loved it!

This is a lovely well located hotel. Staff was fabulous. It is difficult to find in the city, some transportation could only drop us off on the strret before the lane. Carpet in room needs love (cleaning or replacing)

The Establishment hotel is wonderful! The hotel has so much character and The location is absolutely perfect.

Great boutique hotel in vibrant location. Super bar and club attached (no sound issue), eclectic common areas with large, comfortable rooms and furnishings. Walk to the Rocks, Opera House, trains and ferries.

This hotel was convenient and centrally located. Several eating and coffee options. Plus close to the ferries.

Centrale, originale, curato, colazione non proprio europea!

古さを残した建物で趣きがあり、バスダブでゆっくり過ごす事ができた。建物の下にMr.Wongがあり最高の食事を取れた。場所的に夜、騒がしい。

Loved the quiet clean modern room. Also the fact it’s walking distance to some really nice restaurants and just dine stairs a top bar with great atmosphere. Definitely will stay again.
