I was immediately impressed by the service, the decor and the calm ambience when I arrived. I had been trying for a while to stay here, but had until now never been able to secure a reservation. Without a doubt this is a distinctly unique and GAY orientated hotel. Although Sydney accommodation is expensive I don't really think the room... more

Medusa offers the best in the boutique hotel genre. A perfect selection of room amenities to make you feel at home and comfortable, an amazingly perfect cool location in the center of Darlinghurst, offering easy and quick access to so many other lively neighborhoods of Sydney as well. Darlinghurst itself has much to offer by way of cozy cafes, boutique... more

What a delightful hotel. My husband and I are frequent travellers and we stayed at Medusa recently whilst in Sydney. Not only did we have a beautiful room, comfy bed and friendly service but we were right in the heart of Sydney's restaurant, cafe and bar area and a close walk to Paddington designers. The rooms were fresh and sparkling... more

Yes, the bed was wonderfully comfortable and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. But ... the tv didn't work (until someone came and adjusted the aerial), there was no milk in the fridge (I had to go downstairs and ask for it) and no curtains on the window (outside shutters only). I had to wonder who had designed the room... more

I stayed at the Medusa the first week of December. The room was nice, the staff at the front desk pleasant and helpful. The hotel is very convenient to the King Cross train stop. Of all the places I stayed in Oz, this was the only one that had reasonable prices for broadband Internet ($5 AUD / day). I'd stay... more

What a wonderful little gem. We had a spare night before a family wedding and so decided to book on a whim. Upon arrival we couldn't have been greeted in a more welcoming manner. We arrived in Sydney very early and they were more than happy to hold onto our luggage whilst we were out and the room was being... more

We booked the Medusa for our honeymoon trip to Sydney on the recommendation of a friend. It was a wonderful stay, and we'd totally stay again. But, let me give some context... The Medusa is neither the most luxurious hotel in Sydney nor the best located. But, if you want a very fine boutique hotel that sets you in a... more

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Medusa Hotel -- and would definitely return. The staff was great -- friendly, helpful, with lots of insider information on where to go in town. You can't beat the location if you want to experience living in Sydney as opposed to staying in a touristy hotel downtown. The Medusa is within 1-2 blocks... more

We stayed in the medusa for two nights while in Sydney, what a dissapointment, the place is really not much more than a backpackers that charges five times as much as it claims to be a boutique hotel ! , they have maxed out the number of bedrooms in the property by having nothing else apart from a front desk... more
