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.

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!

Overnight stay
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.

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 …
