Very modern and contemporary. The rooms had great amenities such a wifi, Bose sound system, Apple Tv etc. The rooms were a little smaller than I expected and I think this hotel is more suited to the business traveller than a tourist. Service was professional and courteous but not overly warm.

One of the best hotels I have stayed! From the moment of checkin, to the special touches in the room, to yummy breakfast, and the friendly chat as you depart and return-an absolutely fantastic hotel. Will defintely be back!

We were only in Sydney for a couple of nights at the end of our trip and didn't want a large hotel so this one was just right. I'm glad we had a taxi driver to find it for us though it would have been impossible if we had been driving ourselves but that is what made it so nice... More

Modern boutique hotel with cozy restaurants/bars. Love the Bose system, iPad and Bvlgari products in the room (studio room). Close to Circular Quay, the Rocks and Opera House (5 to 10-minute walk only), so very central and in easy reach of the top sights. However, the room is very noisy. The first night, which was a Saturday night, music was... More

Let's face it - the location and SIZE of room was fantastic. It's like your own private inner-city apartment. We stayed the night of and after our wedding... The Bulgari products were wonderful, the bed incredibly comfy and there were a few little features that made it (an ipod dock that played all over the apartment). However, it's missing the... More

If you wanna feel like you belong to an exclusive, private club, this is the place to go. The "hidden" location, the small number of rooms, and the darkly sumptuous interior all contribute to this. But it is not at all stuffy - the reception is very welcoming, warm, and helpful e.g. if you'd like to book a restaurant (especially... More

The Establishment is a very centrally located hotel. I think its one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Although I do have a few gripes. 1. The entrance of the hotel is in a back-lane. For those unfamiliar with the layout of the area, it isn't easy to find. The turning in is tight and passes by the... More

This hotel is a great little boutique place hidden down a lane way. The staff are wonderful and are full of suggestions and advice for everything you might need. Try mr wongs next door for a delicious meal too. The room I stayed in was amazing, I felt like I was on holiday rather than in Sydney for work and... More

Used to live in Sydney and drink at the Establishment, so when the opportunity arose to stay here I took it. It's not cheap; but given current rates coming from the UK nowhere is in Sydney. The location is great, the rooms were very comfortable, and the staff friendly and helpful. You won't get the gym facilities or breakfast buffets... More
