This hotel is right in the thick of the nightclub scene in kings cross, people seemed to be bringing their parties back to the rooms and the walls were very thin as we could hear everything. Also, no curtain over the window meant we couldn't sleep in for the light getting in. Definitely more of a 3 star level hotel... more

Dear Ms. Dahl, Thank you very much for taking the time to post a review on our hotel. Our Hotel is indeed very close to the trendy Nightclub, bar and Restaurant Scene that is made up of kings Cross, Potts Point and Darlinghurst. We are very proud of our neighborhood, and as such the local area forms the focal point...

I stayed at the Kirketon with my girlfriend in September after a staff gathering at a local restaurant. We stayed in a Surperior Room which i have to say is one of the nicest hotel rooms I have seen in a long time! The televisions are a really nice and modern plasma TV, the room was really spacious and enabled... more

I arrived at the Kirketon early, tired and in desperate need of a shower before a busy day of meetings. The friendly staff turned my room around in twenty minutes whilst I had a coffee. They followed up on this impressive service by printing documents for me, booking cabs and giving me tips and pointers about where to find things.... more

BEWARE SELF RATED HOTELS. If someone independant was rating the Kirketon it would be 3 stars at best. Yes, the rooms are small but that's OK. It was the cleanlinss of the room that shocked me. FILTHY. There were pubic hairs and boogers in the sink from the previous occupant, the bathroom floor looked like it hadn't even been introduced... more

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our hotel. Naturally we are shocked to hear that the cleanliness of our rooms was not up to standard. Since reading this review we have re-trained all of our housekeeping staff, paying particular attention to the bathrooms. We are confident that this embarrassing incident was a one off, and have...

Dear JOHNJERRABOMBERRA, Thank you for taking the time to review The Kirketon Hotel. In the three months since you stayed with us, The Kirketon Hotel has seen a minor Management change.

No room service. No concierge. Well, no service at all for that matter. The room was dark and cramped, some genius decided to place the light in the shower at crotch level where it is of no use to anyone. The air conditioner remote needed new batteries to make it work. To its credit, it is in a good location... more

GM_KirketonHotel, General Manager

Dear Luke_48, As a boutique hotel, we do not offer all the services one might expect at a larger chain hotel. Indeed the charm of a boutique establishment is the fact that you, as a valued guest, are not paying for superfluous extras that are rarely required. Unfortunately the restaurant space is currently undergoing a change in management. However our...

Disappointed. Our premium room was tiny and smelt as if a smoker was the previous tenant. The air conditioning was loud & temperature wasn't working properly and we requested a new room after the first night. The second room was better. The bedroom & bathroom have insufficient lighting. There is no elevator. The hotel is however in a great location,... more

On wotif.com these guys self rate at 5 star. Well if that's the case then I’m George Clooney. Realistically this would be 3 star at best. No room service, No Concierge, No Restaurant or Bar, not even Do Not Disturb cards. The rooms are dark and small, if you are on the 2nd floor you have to haul your luggage... more
