My husband and i stayed at The Kirketon for 2 nights and the room and bathroom they gave us was the smallest hotel room i have ever seen (including Europe!). There was no power point for the kettle so that was on the floor and no ledge in bathroom for toiletries and a shower curtain that stuck to your legs... More

Dear libby d, Thank you taking the time to provide us with your latest review. The Kirketon Hotel is a heritage listed property with a very unique style and taste and unfortunately it has not met your expectations. We do understand that the power points are not in the most practical location and we are working on resolving the issue... More

I booked a room in the Kirketon Boutique Hotel Sydney which was 'self rated' 5 stars, but the room they gave me was actually a hovel with no functioning window or view to the outside. I didn't stay - but they still charged me! Upon being shown my room, I realised that this was nowhere near 5 stars. The room... More

Stayed for three nights and booked a small room. The room was exactly as promised, a small room. I didn't want anything big because I was out and about enjoying Sydney so it was just perfect. Very clean and comfortable bed I must add. Loved that the staff looked up and greeted you on arrival and departure and they had... More

Spent 3 nights here for a bit time in the city of Sydney during a holiday visiting relatives on the Northern Beaches. This hotel is in a fantastic part of town with some of Sydney's best bars and restaurants on its doorstep. The hotel itself is clean and the staff all seemed helpful and pleasant.

Hotel was OK. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the bar downstairs was pretty nice. The hotel is quite a nice old building that has been fairly recently renovated, but the renovations are of quite low quality. It looks quite modern but the paintwork and and general finish is pretty shoddy. The room was quite small but clean... More

Upon arrival I thought I was in a great location, then discovered from my room which directly faces a wall I could still hear drunks from outside, there is absolutely no parking and absolutely no view of anything. 2.

The Kirketon Hotel has a very unique feel to it. There are creepy movies playing in the hallways with long red carpets and mirrors lining the hallways making you feel like you are in a bit of a fun house. The room and amenities were very nice as well as the service. Nice fun restaurants not far while also a... More

A great boutique - this is my choice for any business trip. The locaiton is perfect for getting to meetings in East Sydney. The rooms are small yet perfect for a short stay - The beds are comfy & only downside is the staris up to the room levels. More

Spent 4 nights at the Kirketon Hotel 20-24 January 2012. Must say that I had a great stay because of the hotel's service and excellent location. It's in Darlinghurst, with proximity to the shops along Paddington, the cosy neighbourhood of Surry Hill with quaint shops, cafes, restaurants, and easy access to bus connections to beaches along the Eastern Coastal Walk....
