Hotel 59 was a pretty good base for our four days in Sydney. It's just ten minutes on the frequent bus to Circular Quay and others head along the coast to Bondi. It took us about forty minutes to walk to the Quay through the park and by the harbour side. Our room was large and quiet. Breakfasts were generous... More

Hotel 59 is on the edge of the Knight's Cross area, considered by some to be the Sydney equivalent of a Red Light District. It does exhibit some of that, no worse than San Francisco. There is no significant noise from the party streets, the hotel is about a kilometer away. Everything is very relaxed in this area. Bus stops... More

Given the prices not only in Sydney but in the rest of Australia, Hotel 59 was a real bargain for it includes a real, great breakfast and it is well located.

Rooms are adequate even though arguably outdated. The family run B&B is very friendly with great breakfast. Even though noone is on site after 2-3pm, there is a contact number. There are plently of restaurants around (awesome Thai next door), but the area does have a lot of red light activity later in the night. We e.joyed our stay

This tiny family-run budget lodging in Sydney exceeded expectations, even with all the other good reviews. the deluxe double was bigger than I expected and had a work desk, which proved helpful, along with a kitchenette (no microwave or cooktop) that allowed us to collect leftovers and grocery items in the fridge and enjoy them when we didn't feel like...

Couldn't have found a better budget hotel! We spent 5 nights here and the hosts were very helpful, breakfasts were fabulous. Location is great, close to buses and train, lots of restaurants, can even walk to Opera House and Circular Quay if ambitious.

Everything you need to be comfortable. Room spacious, comfortable bed, powerful shower. Breakfast good, coffee great. George is very helpful, does what he says, gives ideas on itineries. Location very central, Kings Cross lively. If staying for a few days the 7 day public transport ticket for buses trains and ferries is good value at 44 dollars
