What guests think

Megaboom City Hotel draws praise for its central CBD location near transport, shops and attractions, with many guests finding it good value and convenient for short stays, though rooms are typically compact and the decor can feel dated.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and efficient, with quick check-in, luggage storage and occasional upgrades, though a few guests reported overnight staffing gaps, strict deposits, or housekeeping missteps. Room experiences vary: some are quiet with comfortable beds, while others face train or street noise, internal views or no windows, and occasional issues with air conditioning, showers, or maintenance; cleanliness feedback ranges from spotless to musty or mouldy. Facilities are basic, with free self-service laundry but generally no on-site breakfast or restaurant, and nearby dining is abundant. Overall, expect a simple, budget-friendly base in the heart of the city.

Extremely affordable gem right in the middle of the heart of downtown Sydney. Very easy to walk to anything from here. They were also great about holding our bags before and after our reservation so we could continue to check out Sydney right before getting on our cruise ship. No breakfast or food options but they do offer cappuccino and there are lovely food places and markets within a minute from here.

Leider wird kein Frühstück angeboten. Neben der Rezeption ist eine buffetartige Freifläche. Das wusste ich aber schon bei meiner Buchung. Auf der Freifläche könnte durchaus Kaffee, Tee, Saft, Wasser stehen damit zumindest das angeboten werden kann, vielleicht noch eine Obstschale dazu und der daneben stehende Automat könnte mit Snacks befüllt werden.

酒店雖然比較舊，但是保養得宜，坐落於悉尼市中心，距離至附近熱門景點皆可以步行抵達，酒店提供自助洗衣及乾衣設施，而且亦鄰近多個巴士及地鐵站。總而言之是十分方便的位置，而且酒店的價錢亦非常便宜。

The room was small, which was OK as I was a solo traveler. The condition of both the room and overall facilities can only be described as beyond tired, with large insects both in & out of the lift. The cleaner endeavored to clean my room a couple of hours before check out. This shows a lack of communication/systems. While it is unlikely that I will stay there again, the hotel is centrally located and reasonably priced. On balance, I would probably opt to pay a little more.

The hotel is located right in the City centre, 100 meters from Queen Victoria Building, Metro, tram and buses. Walking distante from the ferry Circular Quay and The Rock. Staff is kind and helpful. Our room unfortunately was quite small and with a view on a 4 sqm internal blind court from which we could not even see the sky. Room and bathroom were clean and in order. Recommended of you do not have more than one standard suitcase and one trolley.

The AC stopped working because they had to switch it off due to it getting too cold outside. I think the threshold was 15C/59F. The problem was that it got up to 25C/77F in my room and you could not open the windows. The hotel needs a heating and cooling system that can do both at the same time. I lost sleep due to the inadequate cooling system.

Cleaning was good, however I locked my bag with a specific code and upon return later the afternoon, I found the code had been changed. The bag was not in a place where it needed to be moved or touched at all. This is disappointing.

I always stay at this hotel whenever I'm in town. In fact, I stayed there over 100 times. The quality service starts with their friendly Reception. Their system registers visitors in detail, and rewards any returning visitors. Not only is chech-in super quick, but free upgrade is also offered from time to time. When there's a change to their house rules, e.g. an update to Wi-Fi password, they would inform me proactively as well. I need to express my great appreciation of the excellent service provided by Reception. Thank you Megaboom for hiring such wonderful staff at Reception. It really makes my stay memorable and unforgettable.
