Dirty room, dirty linen, dirty, mouldy bathroom...and we had the better balcony room (with a broken balcony chair)! The worst stay we had in Sydney. Avoid. More

Without a doubt this is the worst hotel i have ever stayed at. There was rubbish in the room, blood on the sheets, a contruction yard floodlight for a light, an un usable bathroom, mould everywhere you looked, no windows, no air conditioning God forbid there was ever a fire in that building, there is no emergency exit. Disregard any... More

My husband and I booked a 'balcony room' at this hotel on Wotif. When we arrived we had to look for the "reception" staff, but didn't have to wait for long as they were servicing a room and noticed us waiting. There are no lifts at this hotel, and we had to walk up 3 flights of stairs to get... More

I arrived here on a Saturday night - it was in a location where I felt very unnerved and unsafe, because this hotel is located on the boundary of Kings Cross and Darlinghurst. The reception was not attended and it took a long time for someone to come out and take us up to our room. The staff's English was... More

So here I am trying to check-in, and the guy cant speak english except for a few rehearsed lines. We made the booking through a travel-agent, and the TA didnt use the standard name of the rooms they have. So, this guys says our booking is invalid, even though we have proof-of-payment. He said "your booking say double-room, but we... More

We booked this hotel before reading the reviews as most places were booked out and we'd left it quite late to find somewhere for 9 people this weekend. However, after reading the reviews we decided to keep looking and find somewhere else and now are staying at a backpackers. Although it clearly says on their webpage you can cancel with... More

This is easily the worst hotel I've stayed in Sydney for the price. Tatty carpet and poorly fitted out room. It should be advertised as a cheap hostel. Wanted to leave as soon as I arrived. However the staff were very polite and helpful which eased the pain. More

Just spent 2 nights here. Worst place I've ever stayed in. Website photos were clearly taken over 5 years ago when first renovated. Rooms are now dirty, all walls marked, yellowing, with holes. Maintenance is none existent as half the light bulbs were blown. Despite no smoking rules they were clearly smoking in the rooms, it stank. On the ground... More

This hotel is disgusting, Building interior is dull and stunk of smoke. Room was FILTHY dirty. Bedding and pillows had not been washed and you could see stains and hair from previous guests still in the bed. Bathroom was mouldy. Noisy !! Hotel is next to a nightclub. The music and people were so loud, It was unbearable. More

This place is just hell. Wotif sells it as a totally different place. We booked it for two nights and had the worse time in Sydney. Lotel is dirty and noisy, it smells. The owner was working at reception and when we asked about the internet which was included in the rate she said it is $10, when we refused... More
