We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at the Medusa this weekend. The front office manager was very helpful - we had noticed the review about difficult car parking on the website, but I was quickly informed about the $35 valet parking at the Star carwash less than 100 metres down the road - it pays to ask obviously! We... More

A great place to stay as an alternative to corporate city hotels. You can't beat the location. The hotel is getting a bit tired but the service was really good. Favourite restaurant was Fishface. Birra Birra was also great food. A Fun Cocktail Bar Was The Victoria Room and The Lotus Pod Is A Fabulous clothing Shop. All within A... More

The Medusa is a lovely little haven of a hotel in a lively, central part of Sydney surrounded by great shops and restaurants (I loved Onde, Almond Bar and the coffee at Holm Cafe is the best I've had). The staff at the Medusa are wonderful, warm and very helpful. The rooms are very clean, and the Aesop toiletry products... More

Nice boutique hotel with pleasant efficient front desk staff. Great location, quiet room. The room we stayed in was huge and well appointed. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Sydney.

Very hip boutique hotel. Perfect quiet location with a nice neighborhood and easy walking distance to everything. Lots of tasty restaurants, coffee houses, and fun bars, etc nearby. The pictures are a bit more polished than reality, but none the less, this is a very worthwhile place to stay and a really good value. Many thanks to the guys that... More

I can't say enough good things about the Medusa. It was my first trip to Australia. I had emailed the hotel prior to arrival to request an early check-in. As it happened, my flight was late and when I arrived at the hotel the clerk was waiting, wondering where I was and if anything had gone wrong. It was just... More

A beautiful quirky hotel in a great location. Close enough to walk to the city and harbour. Plenty of restaurants and cafes on the next street but still provides a quiet location to relax with a wonderful "reflection pool". Definitely for those that want something a little different but special for a city break. The staff are really helpful and... More

Our new benchmark for somewhere to stay in Sydney. I almost don't want to tell anyone. Impeccable, laid-back service. Beautiful 1930s-LA-meets-Mallorcan-courtyard house. Super cool location. It will be hard to book anywhere else in Sydney again. You'd be hard pushed to find a very average business hotel for this price and seriously, if you have an ounce of style and... More

We may not be cool enough to stay at Medusa. We're talking bohemian, inner city, modernist design cool. From our buff, black t-shirted hosts, to the emerald green leather chaise longue and the two meter bolster pillow, this is avant-garde, exciting Sydney. Medusa is a renovated town house in inner suburban Darlinghurst. Our top floor Grand Room a riot of... More

Medusa is a lovely, cosy hotel, where guests feel at home as soon as they arrive. Staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful, just ask them if you need good tips for a night out in the Darlinghurst area.
