Best Hotels in Double Bay, Australia

Lovely stay as per usual. Clean room, good service and great location.

The food is really bad, the steak is not there yet. At the time of check-out, the female white man at the front desk looked the same as her mother. It was not discrimination. She also had the same attitude towards the white man. I was afraid that she would be the boss lady 🤣🤣🤣. The key point of this intelligent control is that it is completely out of control. The room service in Australia is not 24 hours. There is no need to find someone to clean the toilet after taking a shower at night. Anyway, the service industry in Australia is a sky-high price, and there is no service at all. Do n’t be surprised when you first arrive. After all, foreign countries attach importance to ”human rights”. Cleaning the toilet in the middle of the night will exhaust the foreigners, understand!

I wish that Trip Advisor would have a ”Good” rating between ”Average” and ”Very Good” as this place perfectly fits that criteria. Sure, the building is dated and faded as a 70s style motel is in 2022 (although I must say it is clean in my experience). On the good side there is lots of parking (very handy for travellers coming to the edges of the Sydney CBD and into the Eastern Suburbs) and a free continental breakfast you make yourself in your room (my room was equipped with a toaster, the usual jug and tea and coffee, as well as a microwave. Furthermore, the motel is in a very handy location close to Edgecliff shops and the train station, so getting into town is a breeze (in a couple of stops you will be in Martin Place). It has an interesting history, so I am told by a long term Eastern Suburbs denizen. Lots of busy traffic out front so watch out for noise and see if you can get something away from the front. To complete this mixed bag, it has very reasonable rates given where it is located.

Stayed here with my husband and son on the first leg of our Oz journey. We didn’t see a lot of the staff (we didn’t need to) but when we did they were very helpful and courteous and happily helped us out. The room itself was fine for our family of 3 and although the bathroom was small it was perfectly useable. The site of the hotel was great, a 5 min walk to King’s Cross station, 20 minute walk to Paddington and 10 minutes to Rushcutters Bay. A great little hotel that is a perfect base for exploring

During the last four years, I’ve stayed at ‘The Hughie’ on 6 occasions, twice with my wife and with a cricketing mate for the SCG test in January on four occasions. The SCG and SFS are an easy 10 minute stroll away, and buses run into the city and Bondi along Oxford Street every few minutes. The building is full of charm and history, and the rooms have been tastefully renovated and are maintained in spotless condition. The staff are courteous, polite and accomodating.

With all the lockdowns of Covid and everything this past year has brought I have reflected on past travels and been meaning to get back to my reviews. I was here March 2020 with a friend. I had booked two rooms (1 each) and I was disappointed with the receptionist when I approached him about the noise of the room at the front after my first night stay with the idea of asking if I could downgrade my room from the most expensive to one of the smaller ones at the back, but he took everything as personal. His reaction was off the wall, he was so incredibly rude and nasty that I was shaking, I am quite diplomatic but I was surprised, I was thinking 'Do you speak to your Mother like that”, I was floored. My career has been in customer service training, in very difficult cases, this was not difficult and yet he went nuclear. He insisted that they had double glazing. They DO NOT but yes a 2nd pane of glass was added but not true double glazing and it did little to give me a good nights rest. I mentioned that maybe if one was from a big city noise would be no issue, but Im not from Sydney. I hope this person is no longer working for the hotel. He was not a good ambassador for it. I did finally insist on speaking to the manager, which he did not want me to do, who greatly helped with my move. But the scars of this visit, really are still there. My friend never knew about these issues, she arrived the following day, I was not happy to stay here but did so as to move would've caused issue with her. The manager at the time however was professional. Im sure I've seen reviews mentioning this rude staffer but it certainly looks like they are not here now. All I can say is in my experience it was not a good one, and on that I can't recommend it. I have never ever in my decades of traveling been treated by anyone so aggressively, I still fail to understand this entire episode and hope when travel is back I can go to a place where the welcome remains with me for all the right reasons. If this issue had been resolved nicely, calmly like an adult Im sure the rating would be much better..Rooms are small but clean and the back rooms are quieter....

It's very convenient and comfortable. It's a bigger business than expected. The host is very nice, very convenient and comfortable. In addition, it is wonderful that you can use the microwave oven. Everything is good, but there are no other electrical appliances, but they don't need to be used.

We stayed here in early January and chose it based on its value for money and proximity to the Sydney Cricket Ground (as we went to the cricket). It was a nice walk from our hotel to the SCG, and the hotel itself was lovely - friendly staff, clean room and yummy breakfast on offer. I'd highly recommend for those on a budget as this hotel has everything you need. We didn't check out the busy Greek restaurant adjacent, that's for another trip!

The room is good, the location is good, the train station and the bus station are just downstairs, 15 minutes by bus to Bondi Beach, 20 minutes by train to the city, 20 minutes by taxi to the airport, the price is more than 700 if you book in advance, the price is good. But as a four-star hotel, the service is not good, and there is no room service for two days. The washing machine and dryer in the room are relatively old and not very useful. I called the front desk and said that I left a message for the staff. After waiting for half an hour, no one came. I asked on the phone and said that we can leave first. The staff will check it when they arrive. . However, when I returned to the hotel at night, there was still no staff coming 😓 I called and said that the staff may have missed the request. In short, finally a bad-faced person came and taught me to use the dryer with a **** expression on his face emmm... I have never used such an old version of the dryer, so is it my fault that I can’t use it😕In short Not recommended, there are better options.

When I checked in on the first day, I originally selected the bay view room type, but assigned the third floor to the main building wall. I only saw a small number of fishing port views when I looked out from the side of the window. So he reported to the front desk, but the male staff member said that there was no other room replacement during the plumbing repair, but he had no choice but to accept it, but when he went back to the hotel at night to take a bath, there was suddenly no cold water, only hot water, and the emergency front desk responded that there was cold water later Soon after bathing again, there was no cold water. The wolf was very embarrassed, and then asked the staff to deal with it. Later, he simply asked us to go to the isolation room to bathe, and said that he would change rooms with us tomorrow. At 11 o'clock the next day, he was notified to change to another high-rise room. I really saw the view of the sea-view room I wanted to book on the Internet, and I felt very satisfied. I can look at the bridge at night and the night view of the Opera House lighting, very charming and romantic. Although the room is small, it has all the equipment and facilities. It has a barbecue microwave and complete utensils. It is also equipped with ravioli and pepper, which can be eaten easily. The beds are clean and white.
