The Lonely Planet is right: it's not the most charming hotel in Sydney - but it might be the best bargain! Location's great: Sydney Opera House is half an hour away on foot through the Royal Botanical Gardens and Kings Cross railway station is a 15 minute walk. Rooms are equipped with a fridge (very handy) and TV and alarm... more

I stayed here for a week in September 2007, and cannot praise the hotel highly enough. I had forewarned them that I would be arriving around 07.30, the managers had said that I could leave my bag, take breakfast, and be guaranteed of my room by 10.00, whereas in fact they made it immediately available. Likewise, I was allowed to... more

Stayed here for three weeks in March '07. Found the hotel to be modern, clean and well run with rooms equiped with all mod cons. The hotel also had complimentry movies, snooker and a great sun roof terrace. The complimentry breakfast was very good quality. The management were very helpful, kind and courteous. The hotel itself is a short stroll... more

Booked after seeing attractive photos. Main problem with hotel is its location. Do not stay here is you want to use public transport. The short walk to Kings Cross Station is scary and we were stopped by police and told that it was an area that should not be walked through as it is a common area for assault and... more

This is our 3rd time staying at Mariners Court and everytime we have been very happy. The hotel has a warm inviting feel, not the cold, sameness of some hotels, with friendly helpful management who know the area well. The breakfast is set out in an area on the 1st floor with a couryard that lets in the morning sun.... more

Upon arriving at the Mariners Court Hotel we were treated courteously and told our room would not be ready for a few hours, which was fine and with some helpful tips from the receptionist told of the sights to see. Finally the room was available, dissappointed, one courtyard to share, spoken to like children on the volume of noise after... more
