We have enjoyed our stay at Sydney Central Hotel. Staff were friendly and very helpful especially very understanding when it comes to $50 dining and drinks credit. Restaurant on site was decent. Location is good, many dining options close by and very close to Central station. Room was spacious and simple. I would stay again.

The room was great and the staff excellent. Some of the public areas need attention. The toilets near the restaurant and carpet leading to them need updati g if anyone seen them first you would not stay there.

The location is excellent, conveniently close to Central Station, Chinatown, and Light Rail stations. However, the facilities in room 918 needed attention— the shower tap was broken, and the kettle was not working. Unfortunately, these issues hadn’t been addressed before my check-in, so I had to contact the front desk for repairs, which was a bit of an inconvenience and wasted my time.

Excellent short stay at this hotel. The hotel is in a good location, easy walk into the CBD and close to light rail options and a short walk to Central station. The hotel itself has a warm and inviting foyer with a restaurant onsite. The room we stayed in was clean and roomy. Overall, cant find a fault, check in was quick and simple, room was decent and hotel meet our needs in every way.

This hotel was clean, with comfortable beds and modern decor. The only thing I would add would be a mirror in the main area. The balcony door was difficult to open, make sure you lift some weights before trying! They set up a cot in our room while we were out (by mistake) but we're quick to fix the error and apologetic. Overall, the location was great, hotel safe and the buffet breakfast a great option. Staff were super friendly. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again.
