Royal Exhibition Hotel

Fantastic location for central Sydney! Quiet and clean bedrooms, and super-comfortable mattresses and nice bedding. Everything you need supplied.

From the outside you wouldn’t rate this place but inside the room you feel like you’re in a luxurious hotel. The room was beautifully renovated, good shower pressure, sensational mattress. Staff were lovely, location was brilliant. Amenities such as earplugs and water were appreciated. You could hear the trams at night and the renovations in the hotel but that’s what earplugs for. Overall would stay again!

Cannot be worse. The hotel is quite old and the taps won't close properly while the shower head keep falling down. That's still ok given the hotel is in a good location and the price charged isn't too bad. The worst part is that the hotel started doing renovation work with power drilling and hammering at 4am!! Spoken to the workers along with guest from another room and asked them to stop working. The answer we received was "the hotel should have told you". Power drilling stopped for a while and hammering continued. Went down to speak to the workers again with another room's furious guests. This time we told them that it is illegal to work with noise at these hours and I was calling the police to report this. Then they finally stopped at 4:40am. Only to start again at 7am!! At checkout when I complained to the front desk the staff said "why are you being mad at me? I only work here. You should speak to management." When asking where management is, the answer was he's here somewhere. And nowhere to be found!! Worst ever experience with a hotel.

Centrally located and access to restaurants, transport and shops. Overall was very satisfied with the stay.

Construction work commenced at 6.15am within the establishment waking us up. I noticed when we arrived that renovations were underway on the ground floor but didn’t expect the rude awakening at 6.15am with loud voices, hammering, power tools etc, extremely loud.
