Central Private Hotel is a budget, no frills option beside Central Station, with friendly staff, generally clean rooms, and simple in room basics like a kettle and fridge, offering good value and easy access to Sydney's public transport.
Rooms are older and basic, with some private ensuites but many shared bathrooms, and there is no lift, so expect stairs. Several guests praised the comfortable beds and quiet stays, while others reported noise or disturbances and felt the surrounding area could seem sleazy or unsafe late at night. Overall, expect a simple stay focused on value and convenience.

Absolutely brilliant! It is a great place to stay, friendly staff, It is not a fancy hotel & the rooms are quite plain, however there is Complimentary tea & coffee & a bar fridge that kept drinks nice & cold, the location is very convenient, it is across the road from central station, Woolworths is a 100m walk, plenty of local pubs for a drink or a meal. Fantastic value for money & I really loved my stay, I highly recommend staying here, The only down side is a few flights of stairs to get to the 2nd floor, no elevator, but it is not too bad. A bedside lamp would be nice for the rooms too, as the overhead fluro light is quite bright. I would gladly stay here again if in Sydney.

The room had a basic ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, small writing desk, air condition and wardrobe with hangers which served my requirements perfectly for a 4 day stay. The common area carpets were stained and room furniture was beaten up a bit but everything was generally clean, on first floor with no lift which was OK for me - reception offered to carry up my small suitcase to my room I declined. A cheap priced room that served my purpose very well, close walk to trains buses and tram.

It was super easy to get around with this as home base. It was also really nice to have a sink in the room. AC was delightful after a long day outside in the sun. Very easy to find if you are arriving at the Central Station & you basically walk straight up the main street to get to the main tourist spots. Rooms were older, but clean and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the mattress. Glad they also included a "Do Not Disturb" sign for those days you're having a nap or something & don't need anything done.

The property is next to Central station, so is convenient in that sense. One can catch a city tram or suburban train. The property is old, the furnishings in the room are basic, standard. Double bed, tv, sink and small bar fridge. Most rooms dont have ensuite, so sharing the bathroom, which are across the hall. The stairs are bit of an issue, particularly if you have quite a bit of luggage, or heavy luggage. There is no lift. Quite a few stairs.

Hotel manager very kind and understanding when we encountered some hiccups checking in. Very well priced for the quality of accommodation - the room was clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable. There was air con, a kettle, some basic cutlery and crockery, and a fridge. I'd definitely choose to stay here again due to the cost and the location.

Top notch cleaning skills, I could touch everything smooth and walk barefoot that clean. White fresh linen even the bedcover looked and smelled clean. Our double unit has window with fresh air, kitchens sink, utensils and kettle. TV and Aircon which we didn't use. The reception people were great and gave extra blankets and it was nicely cool in July 2025. No lifts but thankfully stairs and common areas are all lit. Oh and the toilet and showers were a common area too. Thankfully it was quiet and deserted in the hall every time we went to the bathroom which were clean. Shower water was hot which was great and we found towels and soap, tea coffee sugar, fridge, mirror, bedside table, desk and chair. Wardrobe. i paid 128 a night.

Pretty basic, good for one night. The shared bathroom only on floors 2 and up so if you’re on level 1 you have to walk up stairs. Also if arriving past 7pm did have to call for someone to come down and check you in which was fine. There was a man standing out the front with no phone charge so he couldn’t get in until I called for him. I’d make sure to have phone service and sim before arrival. Got a free upgrade to a double room which was great.

Firstly, please note this is a budget hotel. If you're looking for a plush room with all the facilities, hotel reception areas, a bar and restaurant, this isn't the place for you. If you're looking for a basic (hence lower cost) room, that's clean and has comfortable bed(s); this may be the place for you. The staff were friendly & helpful and the hotel is situated in a great central location, ideal for using Sydney's public transport.

Located close enough to Central Railway Station, it was convenient as we only had an overnight stay before heading back home. Bed was comfortable and appeared to be new which was a huge plus. We were lucky enough to have a private toilet and shower, which were clean. Upstairs the rooms were quiet enough for our privacy.

I had the guy from reception harassing me about my checkout time well earlier before it was time for me to leave my room. He came twice to me about me about it. No self respected hotel does this. It was outrageous. I understand this was not at all a luxury hotel, but it is a hotel none the less, it is quite expensive for a single bed with no facilities at all and a share bathroom, and they wouldn't let me in peace. And for what it was, I have far better stays for less than what they charge. It's a complete rip-off For 20 dollars more I would have had a very decent room with a purgatory bathroom. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF AND BE HARASSED IN THE MORNING.

The staff were nice, and the room was fine, with a separate bathroom. Unfortunately there were some unsavory characters staying in and around the hotel, which made my stay rather unpleasant, including being verbally abused for making noise at one stage. The place seems to be used for government housing, and as a young woman traveling by myself, I did not feel overly safe in this accommodation.

Great convenient location near Central and Surry Hills. Affordable. No frills. Friendly front desk. There should be a way to open and leave open the shared toilet room.

the hotel is very poorly frequented. I do not recommend going there with children. Domestic violence drugs and alcohol ... every time we went out people asked us for money or a cigarette

All staff were great, so friendly, efficient and respectful. It was so quiet and clean and comfy. Great value for the location, for central station for trains regional and local, metro station, and trams, light rail and buses.

Good location next to the Sydney Central station. Friendly staff and our family room was an ok size for 3 people. However we stayed 7 nights and the police was there at least 3 times during our stay because of disturbances that went on late in the night. When we called reception they immediately took action but there was still yelling on and off through the night.

Located close enough to Central Railway Station, it was convenient as we only had an overnight stay before heading back home. Bed was comfortable and appeared to be new which was a huge plus. We were lucky enough to have a private toilet and shower, which were clean. Upstairs the rooms were quiet enough for our privacy.

Great bang for your buck, can’t complain at all as Shihab upgraded me from a single to double bed room, he also helped me carry my suitcase up the three flights of stairs, he was a life saver!

No hot water at all the entire stay, frozen cold showers, on last day woken up at 7:50 by deadass like jackhammering on the room on the other side of the wall, who does work on a room that early, it woke everyone up, and the stairs are definitely dangerous asf, no elevator. 2.5/5
