I have stayed at the Royal Exhibition twice this year and it has been perfect for my needs both times. It is not a traditional hotel or an upscale hotel if that is your need, but it is clean and welcoming and had a comfortable attractive room for a reasonably priced hotel. It is composed of two stories of rooms... More

We arrived early in the morning and they recommended where to have breakfast and made sure our room was services first so we could occupy it as soon as... More

The Royal Exhibition was our first stop on a trip to Australia and New Zealand. It proved a sound choice due to its central location and friendly and attentive management and staff. While the rooms could do with some upgrading we had no complaints regarding the cleanliness and comfort. We were aware when we booked that there was a pub... More

This hotel has everything you need for a weekend trip to Sydney... Location, Location and Location. From the Airport it just takes a quick trip in the train to Central Station followed by a 5 minute stroll to the Royal Exhibition Hotel and you will be sitting back blowing the froth of a cold one while other passengers on your...

We stayed here for two nights over a weekend. Arrived early and our bags were kept for us until check in. The room was reasonable for a 3 star hotel. Service was good at the bar downstairs and we didnt hear any noise at all. A private entry for hotel guests. Rooms were secure and safe despite another review. We... More

The location is excellent for central station. It is a pub, but they have tried hard with the rooms. We did request a quiet room, may be a bit difficult taking into consideration the location!! The double glazing and thick curtains helped. The furniture is a mix of antique, modern and just worn out.. WouLd only stay here again if... More

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights. The location is a great base to see Sydney's sights and take the train to the blue mountains. This hotel is also a pub and they basically run the hotel from the pub. Their check in times are between 2pm and 10 pm. My flight arrived in the early morning and storage... More

Poor service, rooms not ready in time, dirty, furniture aged, lights partly missing, ...... Very good in giving the fault to someone else. Pictures from the website do not correspond with reality, either we had the worst room or stayed in a different hotel as displayed online. The only good thing is the location - it is central - but...
