The reception staff were very friendly & eager to help with suggestions & directions. Room was small, but quiet, clean & stylish - huge comfortable bed in executive suit. The downside were the bar staff who seemed to be paying more attention to the "cooler" crowd & we only had one drink there before giving up & going elsewhere...but the... More

“Another Business trip”

Reviewed June 8, 2013

I was booked into this hotel by my company and was a bit concerned about the reviews I had read on trip advisor. This hotel is in a very good location for visiting Kings Cross. There also is a large choice of cafe's in the area. The girl at reception was extremely polite, happy and willing to answer any questions... More

“A great place for all the action”

The Kirketon is in such a great location, a short walk to Kings Cross, then a few minutes to Oxford Street, and then a little loner to the City. It is a tastefully decorated hotel, with a real boutique feel. The room was quiet, well presented and worth the money i spent. The only thing I would say is it... More

Dear Anthony A, Thank you for your brilliant review of the Kirketon Hotel. We greatly appreciate you spreading the word about our well designed, unique, boutique property. We will certainly look forward to welcoming you back to the Kirketon Hotel in the near future. Warmest Regards, The Kirketon Family More

I have loved the time I spent here for my first visit to Sydney, a great location for good food and lively night life but also very quiet and relaxing when it needed to be. The staff were keen as mustard to help out with directions, suggestions of places to go, shop, eat and drink, and even just to have... More

“No complaints”

Reviewed June 5, 2013

We stayed here a few nights late last year and will probably do so again next time we are in Sydney. Having read the warnings about small rooms we booked an executive room which - though not huge - was perfectly adequate, although I'm not sure I'd describe the en-suite as beautiful. The place is a bit dark, but we... More

“Terrible Experience”

Reviewed June 4, 2013

Booked online from website. Walked into room and found it dark and uninviting. Room was small by any standard. Decor was drab and boring and made you feel closed in. Walked in the bathroom and this was the biggest shock of all. It was a long corridor with the the toilet at one end and the basin at the other.... More

“What - no lifts?”

Reviewed June 3, 2013

Stayed here for a girls weekend, 2 nights, each had our own room. We arrived to the computer system being down, and the girl just giggling behind reception about it - obviously she felt embarrased....she could not check us in, so we looked at the bars that were in the place. Finally checked in, to find there are no lifts,... More

“Shabby and Outdated”

Reviewed May 19, 2013 via mobile

Had booked to stay here for the last few nights in Sydney expecting a quality boutique hotel. Room was tiny which was fine but decor was tired and a bit tacky. Bathroom needed a major overhaul with missing tiles, dirt, grime and the rain shower left little to be desired'. Dissapointing as the place gets a spot in the Sydney... More

I'm actually halfway through my week-long stay and it has just been a really "meh" experience. I made a reservation for 2 adults, not knowing how big the rooms were. When I got here, they dumped the both of us in a room so small, we barely had any place to put our suitcases. Furthermore, the bed was a double.... More
