Wouldn’t stay again. Positives - close to central station, room was clean/tidy. Negatives - photos on site look a lot nicer, needs some love, went to use the gym and it was as hot as a sauna/couldn’t use, ordered the most expensive beef burgers we have ever had and by far the worst tasting. Over $60 for 2 basic burgers. One wasn’t cooked/the pattie was raw and had to be re made. Very small menu too.

Very impressed for the price we paid! 1 star to the hotel staff who were lovely to deal with and very helpful, even showing us the bus routes. 1 star for the check-in experience and upgraded room. 1 star for the cleanliness and facilities in the entire establishment. 1 star for the breakfast which at $20 a head was a bargain! 1 star for the location and ease of commute from Central Station. Very impressed with this hotel and its staff. I had emailed prior to our arrival to see if we could check-in earlier and received a very polite email back to say it may not be possible depending on room availability, which I completely appreciate. However when we got there around 11am the staff were very accommodating and booked us into a room immediately. Not only that, but we were upgraded to the top floor! The rooms were exceptionally clean and the bed was actually comfy! I was also impressed that shortly after going into our room the phone rang and it was reception asking if everything was okay - which it was. We felt very VIP staying here. 11/10 would stay here again :)

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 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.
