Staff were super helpful, and friendly. No lift and with a bad knee the stairs weren’t great. The local area has plenty of dining options, good choice for a night or two in town.

Best quality boutique hotel in Sydney which has a convenient location near public transport and restaurant belt. The room was clean and well-equipped. The service was topnotch. I was unwell one day and in bed for most of the day time. I requested a turndown service but didn’t expect to be done as housekeeping staff had already gone but voila the room was made up when I came back from dinner. Thank you for the superb and accommodating service. Kudos to housekeeping and reception staff. You’re all valuable assets to the team.

Basic hotel but very old
It was a very basic hotel with tiny room and zero views as it's right against another building. For 200 a night I think it's over priced. Location is great but also music from the pub is loud till late. The room itself is very small but with a good size bathroom. It does feel very outdated as well. Basically nothing terrible but also nothing good. If it was like 120 then it's not bad but 200 is not worth it

I was really impressed with this lovely little hotel. It wasn't perfectly polished in every space, but it was clean and tidy. Everything worked in the room, plenty of bedding - actually the king bed in our Superior Room was maybe a little too firm, but that's my only complaint. Just be aware there isn't a lift in the building, so be ready for a few stairs. Otherwise we had a lovely stay. Oh - and the cafe attached makes damn good coffee!

Property is about 30 years overdue for a renovation. Paying guests don't want to drag their heavy luggage up to the second floor - for the overprice you charge, put in a lift. The bar on the ground floor stank & should be mentioned in the "amenities". The slat windows with no flyscreens in the bathroom is just ridiculous. The chipped sink in the dirty bathroom was gross & there's nowhere to put the open soap except loose on the shelf. The shower curtain not reaching the floor was ick. Website says no parking, yet I saw a guest receive a parking voucher - would have been handy to know when I booked. I guess the best part of the whole room was the coffee & tea facilities. I'll never stay here again, and I will tell everyone to avoid The Kirketon Hotel.
