The room was large and new, a 7 eleven nearby which is convenient, complimentary car park and internet are the greatest advantage of this hotel. Problem: Shower design is bad, water all over the ground after taking shower. Some bath towels have stain. No windows in the room. No extra lock on the doors, hotel staff can easily get into... More

A nice surprise after a quick late booking as I had to pick up a new car nearby in the morning. The room was large and very clean and comfortable with all the basics needed and at $120 I was impressed. It's about 10 minutes walk to the Haberfield shops which has several good Italian Restaurants and I think Summer... More

We booked this place to cover for a few days until we got our flat in the city. We arrived Sunday evening, the night before my new job as an ambulance doctor was due to start and all looked good initially. The little atria that the rooms open into is nice, and you are free to use the motels crockery... More

Very handy location for our stay (Christmas family reunion in adjacent suburb) and only 500m from Summer Hill railway station. Check in was a breeze with courteous and friendly staff. The room was as we expected, having previously read on-line reviews: comfortable, spacious plus excellent bathroom. Daily service of the room kept it fresh and spotless and the provision of... More

We were really happy with our stay at the Garden Lodge as a slightly cheaper option to staying in Central Sydney. The staff were excellent - friendly, helpful and competent. A fast easy check-in. The room itself was a very good size, with a comfortable bed, clean linens and fluffy towels, strong shower with good hot water, flat-screen tv with... More

It seems to me that the mixed reviews are due to the website raising unrealistic expectations and a very misleading name: "Garden Lodge" - the hotel is surrounded by concreted driveway and its parking lot. Not a patch of green in sight. Apart from that, it's actually very nice. Unlike most other hotels, all rooms open *inwards*, towards a two-storey... More

We stayed at the Garden Lodge in our Deluxe room for 5 people. Enticed by the balcony, parking facilities and other amenities listed on the website. Unimpressed. The balcony uncomfortably fits only one chair with a fantastic view of the offices across the road. The shower had no door, so the bathroom resembled a flood site after one shower. And... More
