MAD Monkey Bayswater

Sydney Eastern Suburbs
Where to even begin.. I spent a week in this hostel with my boyfriend. After reading the reviews, we were so excited to get to this hostel as it seemed like the place to be. Most definitely not. We felt like we had been catfished, this hostel is VERY small, like extremely small. We attempted cooking in the kitchen once, never again, the kitchen is tiny. I understand if it’s a small hostel your kitchen doesn’t need to be huge but the kitchen is absolutely tiny everyone is on top of each other, and the ovens don’t even work. It’s literally like a narrow hallway. Also... the photos online suggest there’s a room with a pool table, another room with a TV etc., it’s all crammed in one room. Worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Although, the worst part about this hostel is the location, no one seems to mention the fact that King’s Cross is absolutely full of homeless people on the streets constantly off their face on drugs, I mean FULL of them. We both felt very unsafe and uneasy just walking the streets, I’ve never seen anything like it and we’re from Leeds so that says something. So if you’re planning on visiting Sydney, I strongly recommend staying away from the Kings Cross area altogether.
Bayswater Boutique Lodge

Sydney Eastern Suburbs
I had a fantastic stay at Bayswater Boutique Lodge in Potts Point during my recent business trip to Sydney. The staff were amazing, providing exceptional service and support throughout my stay. The online check-in process with a convenient pin code for building and room access made arrival seamless. I felt at home. The location in Potts Point was very convenient. Everything is at your doorstep. Moreover, the cleanliness of the room was incredible, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Bayswater Boutique Lodge for a memorable and enjoyable stay. It deserves a well-deserved five-star rating.
Manor Boutique Hotel Sydney

Sydney Eastern Suburbs
We stayed here for one night. Room was fine, quite comfy but bathroom wasn't up to scratch. Looked like mould on the shower floor and all over the bottom of the shower curtain to the point where we didn't feel comfortable using the shower. Good location, staff were friendly and courteous. Parking can be tricky, but overall a pretty comfortable stay.

Sydney Boutique Hotel was the perfect place to stay for us during our 3-days visit in Sydney. The Hotel was really quite, our room had a big balcony, a kingsize bed and was comfortable. The hotel is located just a 5 min walk from the train station. We explored a lot of things (like the Australia Museum, the Sydney Eye and the shopping street) by walking, the location was super. And the staff was really friendly and helpful. They even postet my postcards for me.
MRS Banks Hotel

Sydney Eastern Suburbs
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....
The Hughenden Boutique Hotel

Sydney Eastern Suburbs
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.
