My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights at the start of our 3-week holiday in Australia. I'd lived in Sydney before so knew how to get to the hotel from Central Station, but to anyone new to Sydney it might be a bit hard to find. It's only a 10-15 min walk from the station, but make sure... more

Room rates were affordable at $100.00 per night, but the room photo on website was misleading - not taken care of very well and TINY!- corrugated metal ceiling, cracks in the walls, blinds were falling apart, the internet was indeed only $10.00 per stay but you can't access anything that needs to download - takes 5 minutes per item!! Also... more

Called the hotel from the airport, the receptionist was friendly. Explained to us how to get to the hotel and best way to get to the hotel. When we reached there, we found the hotel was very cozy and clean. The environment in the hotel was very quite and comfortable. Since it was the first time we traveled to Sydney,... more

Its always a gamble to pick a hotel somewhere you've never been before, but I was so glad I picked the Vulcan. Not only was it a cute, trendy little oasis, but it was extremely easy access to the downtown by bus or by metro, and I felt so comfortable staying there by myself. I couldn't have picked better. The... more

It's a decent enough place - clean, with fridge, rooms are kind of small. But it's a bit of a hike away from the Opera House/Harbour Bridge area, it's even 20 minutes to Darling Harbour, where we went our first night. At $145 AUD/night, it's too expensive for the location and for what you get in the room. The on-site... more

Pretty well located, especially for Central Station. Lovely compact hotel. Rooms not big but nicely presented and good bath/shower rooms. Internet was only $10 for five days! Icing on the cake was the restaurant, the Hummingbird, where you have breakfast ($12 for coffee 2X eggs + toast), have a meal their one night - it'll save you shlepping out. Great... more

I enjoyed my stay at the Vulcan, and would stay there again. Our first choice would have been somewhere a little closer to George St, but it was a busy weekend in Sydney and those places had been taken. Even still, the Vulcan is a reasonable 15-min walk to the Central Station part of town, not too bad. There was... more

We stayed at the Vulcan Hotel in September 2008. We just heading to Sydney for a Shopping/Party night (6am flight out Saturday morning, 6am flight home Sunday morning), so the room was just used as a home base and a place to keep our stuff and to get ready in. Found it the night before on a search website, looked... more

The Vulcan is not in a very nice area and there is no where around the Hotel to have a stroll in the evenings. Darling Harbour is a good 20 minute walk, 1st past the Power House Museum then Paddy's Market monorail station, and then still a good walk after that. I agree about the outside space at the Hotel... more
