When a person is far from what they are used to, it is rare to find people like Breakfree on George staff. My extended stay was without a doubt on the top of my list for all the comforts of a home-away-from home experiences I have ever had. I send my greatest appreciation to all of the Breakfree on George... More

We stayed there for 3 nights and was ideal for us. The room was adequate, clean and was serviced daily. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. Location was ideal as we went to a show at Capitol Theatre which is across the road. Price wise was great as we got a good deal on the hotel's web site.

I had a really great deal, not cheap to stay in the area. Check-in was quick and friendly, Room was nice, clean, we got room 1207 which is a disabled room, Shower was cold, not water non-existant. When you walk into the lobby it smells like bad chinese, as there is a resturant in the same floor. Once in the... More

We stayed at the Breakfree on Georges for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. The staff was super nice. Bart at the front desk was friendly and suggested yummy restaurants! The room was a good size, with a kitchenette and sitting area. Location was brilliant! Don't expect a fancy hotel, just take it for what it is. Well priced for... More

A group of us stayed for the weekend at the Breakfree on George in Sydney. Our first suite was spacious and had the advantage of a large outside balcony area; very suitable for our friend's birthday celebration. However, when we first arrived we noticed the toilet door kept sticking. As the afternoon progressed the toilet door was harder to open... More

My family stayed here in March of 2013. We couldn't get in to our usual hotel (Mantra on Bond) but the lady that worked for the hotel group insisted this hotel was amazing. (it is certainly no where near the standard of Mantra) The hotel is tired and basic - it's not terrible but its not great. There is an... More

We used this as our first stay in Sydney, it was pretty central for Darling Harbour, the monorail and the markets. Apartment style accommodation was very clean and if we were staying longer would have been a good simple base for self catering. Only negative was that the check in a bit chaotic, lots of customers(good) not many staff (not... More

Arrived and checked in, as soon as we walked in the room, we walked out as it stunk. Go back to Reception and get told that, apparently the room suffers from rising damp and thats why it smells.

Check-in a horrific experience. Trying to check in a large group of 20 people was trying. Room allocations were not arranged properly. Once checked in one room was changed and a key card issued to us for a room occupied by another guest. Maintenance had to be asked three times to fix a faulty shower. The beds were made and... More
