Best Hotels near Frank Zions Reserve, Sydney

Positives - Easily accessible bus stop right out front - ID and card details to check in so no annoying bond held - EXCEPTIONAL customer service!! The lady at check in was so warm and welcoming and made me feel like a valued guest which is so refreshing as having stayed in many budget price point accommodations over the years great customer service is definitely not the norm so I thank them greatly for that. - Excellent price point paid $85 for the night - Great standard of cleaning - Quiet - Microwave available in common area Negatives - The plastic stool was very short and uncomfortable. - No tea bags or anything in the room, says all removed due to COVID prevention but doesn’t really make sense considering everything e.g. soap bars, bed sheets, are all going to be handled and put in the room so how individually packaged coffee/tea is higher risk I don’t understand.

Just finished the check-in, breakfast should be at your own expense, so look at how you eat yourself! My room bed is bigger, I think the children can live together, the room is not very big, so there is no way to extra bed! It is very convenient to take the subway. It is a distance from the subway station. A straight street goes down and turns across the road, so you should be mentally prepared for the big bag!

You’ll want to read this, its GREAT!!! My partner and I checked into the Greenacre Hotel on November 24th. After checking in, the desk clerk brought us to the entrance of the hotel building and handed us our room card keys. He then said to us “ The bathrooms are located down the hall outside of your room so don’t leave your room without your cards. You also need them to get into the building so make sure to always have your card on you. I don’t want to receive a call in the middle of the night that you’re locked out of your room”. Totally reasonable , I can understand how that could be frustrating. Many people, throughout the night, forgot their cards in their rooms. How do I know this? They body checked themselves against their door screaming “ let me in”. That wasn’t even the bad part. That I could put up with. The next day, my partner and I woke up early because we had an International Flight to catch. My partner went downstairs to load the car and then I followed about 10 minutes later. When I came outside the building, my partner shouted something at me but it was to late. The door to the building shut behind me. What my partner yelled at me was “ Don’t let the door close, the card isn’t working”. When I tried my card on the door, it just beeped and flashed red. I tried my partners card, the same thing happened. We were locked out and we had to return our rental car within the hour and catch our flight. I immediately called the desk clerk/manager. I told him what happened and his response was “ What do you want me to do, I’m in bed”……..well here’s an idea for you, GET OUT OF BED!!!!!!! I WAS FURIOUS!!! We had both of our cards and it was nowhere near checkout time!!! What kind of response is that, here’s the correct response: “ Oh my goodness, I am so sorry sir. I am currently unavailable but I will send someone there to open the door. Again I cannot apologize enough, this is totally unacceptable. Please send me an email at your earliest convenience and I will provide some kind of compensation, this is truly unacceptable. There will be someone there within the next half hour. Here’s my personal number in case he doesn’t show.” But of course that was not his response. After a bit of arguing, he let me know that someone was going to be opening up the bar downstairs within the next half hour. So, we waited. After a half hour, a gentlemen did show up and I have to give him praise. He moved with urgency and at the end of the day got us back into the building and we made our flight. I still can’t get over “ I’m in bed” , what is that! I’ve worked in the tourism industry for 5 years and this whole experience was just totally unprofessional. I’m looking forward to your response.

Room 20 Family ensuite rm - hotel is really convenient to Train Station and eat street in Strafield. Plenty of dinning options close by. Checkin was easy. Room was very basic. Appeared clean but very tired. Decor old (not historic old), ensuite pretty run down. TV didn’t work and old aircon was effective but a little noisy. Beds were truely awful. We suspect very old and cheap (could feel the springs) and extremely uncomfortable. Some noise from the hotel and bottle shop, but manageable. Won’t opt to stay here again.

This stay was very satisfying! The room is clean, bright, fully equipped and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and are always ready to address our needs. The location is excellent, the transportation is convenient, and there are many food and attractions nearby. I felt like I was at home during my stay. I will definitely choose to stay here again next time. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Darcy's if you are visiting the city or Olympic Park. 5 minute easy walk to Homebush Station, or 10 minutes to Strathfield Station (which has more regular trains to the city). The hotel is simply a beautiful place. Our room was huge with comfortable chairs in the sitting room. Fridge in the room and 24 hour continental breakfast (with plunger coffee) were a nice touch. Darcy's is definitely on our ”we'll be back” list!

If you want a room small enough to swing a cat, this is the hotel for you. If you want a hotel where you just need a bed because you are seeing live sport or concerts, this hotel is also for you! More basic than basic but the bed is soft and the shower hot. What more do you need? The curtain to separate the bedroom from the ‘bathroom’ is an interesting touch. Additional pillow and towels wouldn’t go astray.

Checking in at reception was unusual as it was in the front bar and being asked out to remove our son as reception was next to the pokies. Paid for 2 rooms as I thought it was going to be a double bed in one room and a single in the other. Turned out to be a single AND a double in both rooms. All I could smell in reception was cigarettes. Got to our rooms and it was cold and noisy. Air conditioner wasn't working properly or not at all. The windows weren't able to be locked and when closed, the road noise coming through the two glass panels was terrible. Bathroom was a little small but it was clean. The bed was terrible, have to say what sleep we had, was the worst sleep ever. Went to the front bar to buy a cans/bottles of soft drink and being told they don't sell them there, you have to go to the pizza bar next door. All good, on the way back through the front bar, asked for a mixer bottle like scotch and cola or bourbon and cola and then being told we don't sell that here. What kind of front bar is this? We were to stay for 2 nights but just bit the bullet and booked another hotel closer to the airport.

Except that the wifi is too slow, there is no microwave, the bathroom sink is too small, and washing is not too convenient, the other is OK. It was a high-quality hotel that could be booked at that time.

We had a dinner nearby, and lucked in this hotel. Not sure it is a new building or completely refurbished, but everything bright and shiny. Underground car park entrance from rear lane way. Can’t reserve, but called ahead and was assured low residency. Park in the first one you see, hard to turn around if you go to the bottom. Room was good, as expected. Marble flooring was cold, bring thick socks. $10 for pre-booked breakfast for two is great value - gives a limited bit very good menu and a hot drink each. Friday night ground floor restaurant was busy and loud music. Not a quiet lounge. Didn’t try the rooftop bar. Room x01 was that the back of the hotel, with unexpected views from Chatswood, North Sydney, the Bridge, and the City.
