Clean modern rooms located conveniently near Central Station. Only 10mins walk to Hyde Park. Large rooms with king bed and sofabed. Couple of tiny gripes with housekeeping - no pen/notepad, minibar not restocked, but if that's the hotels biggest problem then they are doing well! Kids will love looking at the fish in the floor of the lobby. Breakfast pretty... More

Great location. Eating options are limited for late arrivals as the restaurant closes at 9:00 PM and the Townhouse bistro/bar closes for food at 9:30 PM. 9sometimes earlier) Room service available until 10:00PM.

The hotel is easy to get to even during peak hour, I drove in from the airport and had little delays. Comfortable bed and choice of resturant or bistro both within the hotel. Not a lot of other resturants within a few blocks of the hotel, so suitable for a short stay. The service was good and the parking is... More

My first visit to the Sebel. Other trips, I've stayed in the center of the city, but for a quick business trip, this was perfect. Easy parking, good rates, nice breakfast. I'll stay again. Service was good, room tidy and clean. Would have liked a paper in the morning though

The Sebel Surry Hills gives you everything you could want when staying in Sydney. Location is excellent. Right beside Central Station or walk around the corner and catch the light rail. Service, from all quarters, cannot be improved. From reception to the dining room, we experienced first class service. Our room was large with plenty of space to move around... More

We booked in for 2 nights and had a wonderful stay at the Sebel. The free shuttle bus made accessing the cbd and opera house for a show and shopping hassle free. Central station was only a short walk away if needed. But what we loved most was the short walk up Albion st and down Crown st in Surry... More
