Just fabulous!
Love the location, the quirkiness, the team and the building. Even though the furniture is now a little tired, it is still much nicer than your standard cookie cutter hotel design. Very welcoming and accommodating. Can’t wait to visit again once refurbished! Thanks Team Medusa for a great stay

Hotel Medusa was exactly what we like in a boutique hotel. Clean, quaint and very well located. The staff was over the top friendly and as a bonus the price was very reasonable.

Nice hotel outside of the most touristy spot in Sydney. Lovely neighbourhood. Had some issues with the A/C first night, but staff were very attentive and immediately offered solutions. Very pleased! The room itself were big and well equipped. We did miss curtains (and bug screen) on my window, because it got really light. Also the A/C was placed directly over the bed, which isn't ideal. Beds were OKAY and firm, a tad bit too bouncy so could do with a mattress topper. All in all, highly recommend staying. Great place!

Best Sydney home base
Wow!! Can I give TEN stars?! What a way to end an epic 8week journey around NZ and Oz. Tommy is the most gracious host. And all the staff are knowledgeable about the area, offering specific things to do and places to see, especially great restaurants. So glad this was my home base in Sydney. Telling all my friends, and will definitely be back.
