Lovely foyer. Beautiful building.. Staff good. Good location. Room —— we were advised that we had been upgraded to a newly renovated room. Well it had mould on the tiles, big patch of grouting around the shower tap and hairs left on the shower walls.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was a nice size for two people with two beds. The lobby and breakfast room were beautiful. I enjoyed the fresh fruit, pastries, coffee, juice, and cereal for breakfast. A hot breakfast was also offered. The location was perfrct for walking everywhere in the Sydney City Center. The reception was very helpful giving us local maps to explore and for getting us a taxi when we were ready to leave for the airport.

4/10 Fair

Nice decor etc. but some real disappointments
Very disappointed in the bathroom/toilet. They are arranged in such a way that the toilet is flooded when the shower is used. The flooding is unavoidable due to the proximity of the toilet to the shower. The toilet is basically rendered useless/until the floor is mopped. We had to use our bath towels to clean it up. The TV remote would only work if when held close to the TV. Reception did replace the batteries, but this did not resolve the issue. There was no instruction as to how the air con worked. We had to turn it off because we could not increase the temp. By about 3.00am it was freezing. The restaurant menu leaves a lot to be desired.

Post cruise stay in Sydney
Great location! We could hop the train or walk to just about everything. Very friendly staff who acted very fast to resolve any issues we had. They allowed us to check our baggage for free until our room was ready so we could make the most of our first day in Sydney.

Excellent service.
This is our 4th time we have been to your hotel and have no reason to find another in Sydney. We enjoyed the beauty of the old building, yet well kept, your staff is always amazing and we drink lots of coffee and housekeeping or front desk always accommodated. We have stayed with family and shared your hotel with our Hawaii friends.

This hotel exudes old school charm while offering modern comforts in the renovated rooms. Our room was exceptionally clean and has been renovated to a high standard. Its great location makes it perfect for exploring the city, and the friendly, helpful staff ensured a welcoming stay.

I liked the location of the hotel. Very central. One minor issue that I had with the room was that there was no milk provided for coffee when I arrived in the evening. Luckily, I had brought some extra milk from home with me so was able to make a cup of coffee when I woke up in the morning.

The hteol was fabulous as was the staff - 1940s decor, even hard wood nightstands. However, and this was NOT the hotel's fault. lots of construction going on outside, in front of and down the street. It made it hard for Uber pick-up and drop off.

Review: Mixed Experience with Room for Improvement
I recently stayed at this hotel and while I was happy with the service and the quick check-in, the hotel itself is quite old and things didn’t work as expected. The air conditioning had no heating option, and the bathroom had no working exhaust fan. The lifts were also very slow, and we weren’t informed by the front desk that we needed to use our key to access our floor, which was frustrating to figure out on our own. That said, the stay was generally comfortable and the location is great, but it’s not one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at, nor will it be my first choice when visiting downtown again.

Room very small, but clean and neat. It would have been lovely to have had a window that could be opened to increase airflow, the zircon is not quite the same. Quiet environment despite the busy street below.

8/10 Very good

Loved the Art Deco vibe, helpful staff, clean amenities. I also love the fact you can open the window, for fresh air instead of using the air-conditioning. Area adjacent to property is being renovated/re built so it is currently a bit noisy. I expect thst will settle as the works are completed. Its certainly not enough to put us off from staying at the Castlereagh again.
