Crystalbrook Albion

Absolutely loved our stay at Crystalbrook Albion. Staff was very nice and helpful. They held our luggage when we arrived early and it was in our room upon check-in. Location was perfect. Close to great dining options and a short walk from central station to get around town. Loved the danishes and muffins every morning. Honour bar was nice on arrival and departure days, as it was convenient.

Enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Very clean and tidy with amenities there. Liked the self service bar. The back street on little Albion street can be quite narrow if there are cars parked. If you’re in an Uber XL or larger car, you may want to be mindful of going through the street. Nice and central location with good eateries. There is no room service here.

Really cool area if you’re looking to walk Around and eat/drink locally. Hotel is a bit hidden looks like it’s in an alley! But inside is really nice and staff are helpful and friendly. By the way if you’re bringing a car you have the option to park on the street not just at the hotels designated parking lot (Which is $$$!) And it’s not that hard just follow instructions on street signs. And it’s much cheaper! Follow the road all the way down to the right you will see a few car slots there. We got lucky and where able to get a spot all 3 days we where there wed-Fri.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good location. Intriguing building and surrounds showing respect to local history. Rooftop garden provides a sense of extra space and privacy. Gin time a reception is an extra touch of congeniality.

What a find! This is a beautiful boutique hotel nestled in the back lanes of Surry Hills. The mix of old and new architecture is seamless - perfectly done. Come for the rooftop space and the honour bar - what a great idea!

This is a beautiful, well appointed hotel in the center of Surrey Hills. Walking distance to most everything you’ll want to see. The rooms are on the smaller side, but very comfortable and well appointed. They offer pastries fruit throughout the morning, coffee tea all day. There is a comfortable rooftop appointed with plants and flowers, French bistro chairs, and tables. It’s a perfect place to have breakfast or to work from. The staff was very nice and accommodating. I would highly recommend the Crystalbrook Hotel. I look forward to staying there again.

Room slightly small for two, limited facilities for the price, will come if deals are offered. Pierre

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Wonderful friendly staff, lovely pastries in a morning and tea/coffee. Loved the roof and nothing was too much trouble! If we come back to Sydney we’ll be staying again!!!

nice room and amenities - cute roof top

Nostalgic place in Surry Hills - quaint with helpful staff - 24/7 coffee machine level 1 with real coffee beans and daily bakery products on our weekend thx 🙏

Crystalbrook is perfectly situated in Surry Hills. It’s perfect to travel throughout Sydney, with many transport options. But there’s also a great restaurant and bar scene nearby. The rooms are cleaned and well kept, and the staff is very friendly. Great stay overall!

We rented a cozy room and were suprised at how small these rooms are. Albiet the room was clean modern and comfotable.

Ok for a night stay .... mosquitos in the room. Breakfast to go was nice touch.

The Crystalbrook Albion was so nice. I dont have a negative thing to say, the attention to detail the staff puts into making the place clean and inviting was outstanding. I would most definitely stay here again and again!

Small friendly and charming neighborhood hotel, quiet but very accessible to main attraction areas. The only comment is that the bathroom is open to the bedroom so offered very little privacy.

Great little property in an awesome part of Sydney. Really lovely appointed rooms. But a little noisy between the rooms, and rooms / hallway.

The room was spacious and welcoming. We were given an upgraded room, which further enhanced our overnight stay. The check in staff were helpful and assisted us with our questions. It made for a relaxing stay!

Beautiful hotel in a great location. The room is beautifully decorated, it’s a very nice boutique hotel.

Rooms and lobby decor was unique. Lots of great dining options on crown

We loved our stay. Rooms a little small however very comfortable.

We stayed in a 'cosy' room. It had everything we needed. The honesty bar facilities, with breakfast pastries and coffee machine, were a really nice touch. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Staff was great.

The Crystalbrook Albion is a lovely, individual, informal and very comfortable hotel. Situated in Surry Hills it is very conveniently situated for the CBD, and benefits from excellent neighbourhood dining. The staff are aall super nice, friendly and helpful and really made us feel at home.

Quiet hidden oasis close to Central Station. Attentive friendly staff. Will definitely return.

I was dropped off at night on Albion Street as driver couldn’t find entrance on little Albion as it wasn’t lit up so we drove past. I had to ask a stranger to call the hotel to let me in as I didn’t have the ability to call on my Canadian phone. Was starving and wanted to order room service… no restaurant which was not mentioned on line or I missed that either way was annoying. The digital key didn’t always work the gate when I was coming back to hotel and noone was at reception one time to buzz me in which was also annoying as I was desperate to have a pee…. Last glitch was the elevator broke one day so had to climb to fourth floor which ordinarily not a big deal but I was jet lagged and very tired! These things happen though. Otherwise great location once you get past the main entrance is off essentially an alley so I was able to walk all over downtown Sydney. Super super comfy bed and pillows!! I would stay again but plan for food better …

Very comfortable and stylish hotel! The staff were extremely kind, helpful and accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again.

Chic, boutique hotel. Excellent service from friendly, knowledgeable staff. Easy walk to local cafes, restaurants & bars.

What a wonderful little hotel. Friendly staff and the best location. Definitely would recommend.

Loved this location and hotel

Excellent location. Walking distance to everything but still in a quiet and cute local neighborhood.

The hotel was quaint. The staff were all very personable and helpful. The location is in a neighborhood with many pubs and restaurants around. It is a very short walk to public transportation to get to the city within 15 minutes.

The Crystalbrook Albion in the Surrey Hills neighborhood of Sydney is an absolute gem. It's a small boutique hotel in a safe, quiet and very walkable area just a couple of blocks away from the very cool Crowne Street, where you'll find great restaurants (many pricey - but everything in Sydney is pricey esp at restaurants - but a few reasonable), and ice cream shops and a cool high end grocery. It's very cool, and the place to be. Any day of the week you'll find many Sydneysiders coming out for drinks or dinner and even without a car, or if you are travelling alone, you are steps away from being in the middle of things. It's a very european vibe, in fact I discovered an awesome very French style bar/cafe literally steps from my door. The hotel has excellent attentive staff, the place is furnished w great art, artful design touches throughout, plus free breakfast (delicious pastries and a cappucino machine in the cozy "Honor Bar"). My only quibble with the place is that the only way to communicate with the front desk if you need anything -is to text them via an ipad in the room but unfortunately no one told me they don't respond to the ipad (only a text back to your phone as I later learned) so I'd spend time waiting for a response that never came until much later after having to go to speak to them.They are on 24/7 though and very lovely and very responsive at the end of the day, so it was a minor issue. Otherwise, I love this place. Plus reasonable rates by US standards!
