My sister booked this hotel for several nights at the start of a family holiday. I was quite dubious about staying here because of some of the reviews I'd read on this site, but it turned out okay. We didn't have any trouble with the reception staff, in fact I found them to be very pleasant. We also didn't have... More

We recently stayed at this hotel for one night. It is great for the convienience of not having to drive all the way home from sydney after a show/gig.... but travelling from overseas I would not want the world to be given a first aussie impression of shampoo that turns your hair to straw, very small room or a shower...

in August 2011after a long flight from London to Sydney I arrived at the Central Railway Hotel. Name doesnt sound too inspiring but it was a welcome sight. The staff were very helpful. The room had everything you could want for a longer stay (I was only staying a couple of days) i.e. microwave, toaster, kettle, iron and board. Bed... More

We chose the hotel because of the price. There are no lifts in this place (we knew that in advance) and was dismayed that we got a room on the topmost floor. But that's because we had big luggage with us full of shopping from Melbourne. But if you don't have much luggage with you, it should be fine. If... More

I stayed for five nights in May 2011. I stayed in Room 1 which is a good size, with clean and comfortable double bed, ample storage and a good sized bathroom with great hot shower. The room has a TV, microwave, kettle and crockery and cutlery. Room 1 faces Chalmer Street which can be noisy but ear plugs meant I... More

Room was ok, we asked for accomodation for 5, however we were on the third floor, there was no lift and two family members struggled getting up and down stairs with luggage. One of the staff at reception was friendly but the other one was not very very friendly. Price was ok for accomodation for 5 people. More

I needed to attend a conference in the Sydney CBD and had to find accommodation which was convenient. After reading comments from previous reviewers I was a bit unsure about this hotel. However, once I had arrived I was able to form my own opinion. Checkin process was smooth and efficient, staff in the reception were extremely courteous and helpful.... More
