We stayed here last weekend for one night. They allowed a late check in. Room was clean. Only difficulty was finding the place as there are 2 places on Parramatta Road which are '17'. However, upon calling, we were given good directions. Continental breakfast the next morning was good too. I would suggest having some fresh fruit out. Though, they... More

+ Hotel itself is perfect - nice new and clean rooms, room electronic safe (big one, suits camera and laptop), free parking, wifi (fast), laundry room. Duty manager Ivan was really professional. - Location is in the middle of high traffic, so it takes 45 minutes for us driving to the airport, it takes long to drive-in (road from Melbourne)... More

Dear Rosmax, Thank you very much for your positive review on TripAdvisor. Actually Garden Lodge Sydney location is one of the best location without paying high parking fee in the city. You could just take the bus or train directly to Townhall within a short time. Driving from Melbourne is about 12 hours and we are just 10 minutes from... More

We chose this hotel for our last night. In Australia and because were told it would be an easy jump to the airport. We asked the front desk to call a taxi and asked how much it would cost for ride to the airport. The front desk told us $30 to $35 dollars. Imagine our surprise when it was $80.... More

This motel is surprising for its price and location. Rooms ar quite spacious, well appointed [small tele though] and clean for the price. Desk service was efficient although some questions of surrounding services and amenities were unable to be answered, clearly their world opens and closes at the front door. Easy walk to local rail services into city centre and... More

This hotel appeared to be good value for money. However, since we've left we have realised a very expensive torch we had is missing. The only reason we took it out of our car was so that it would not get stolen. We contacted the hotel the afternoon we left and asked them to search the room. They have told... More

Dear Beckydu, Thank you for staying with us. We regret that you have lost your expensive torch. It was reported to us as a big black torch. We did search your room in detail twice after you left but we can't find the torch. We have provided a very secure electronic safe (big enough for a lap top) in every... More

The Garden Lodge Hotel was superb value for money. Only 5 minute walk to Metro station....into town 10 minutes. Room Wi-Fi the best quality (5 bar) I have ever had in years. Fox Sports channels for free. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Seen a couple of bland reviews online. Probably from rich idiots obviously used to staying in huge luxury... More

Stayed here for a long weekend with family. We were up in Sydney seeing Alan Davies's live show. The room was large and comfortable,, clean and well provided for. (It could have done with a microwave.) Staff were polite and friendly, very accommodating. Yes, being next to a main road was little, but not greatly, noisy at times. A short... More

We selected this hotel due to its proximity to ANZ stadium and based on previous reviews. The rooms were spacious and clean. They were service daily. The only annoyance was the shower did not have doors. This meant that whenever you have a shower, the entire bathroom would get wet. The hotel has one washing machine and dryer free of... More
