WE stayed at the Central Private Hotel because we ran out of options - everywhere else was either booked or ridiculously expensive because this was lead in week for the mardi gras. The location was not too bad, easy walk to central station, china town, Paddy's markets and Darling harbour was not far off either. The room was generally clean... More

Dont know where to Begin, all ready paid 3 weeks prior, arrived late at night, to vomit and feces stained hall way carpets not been cleaned for who knows how long, en suite filthy, bed cover stained removed it leaving only what seem to be clean sheets. next morning threw back bed sheet, found many foreign hairs on underlay appearing...

It appears that this place has had a minor renovation take place since the last reviews in February & March 2010. And my photos are an improvement on the 9 August 2008 submitted photos by Johnny Travelr! I realise it is 'BUDGET' but................ We booked a "Double Room Ensuite" not much room in toilet/shower space (dry yourself in front of... More

Pretty much all the other reviews sum up my experience at this 'hotel'. If it was listed as a backpackers I might be more forgiving, but even then its still pretty disgraceful. Stayed here on my first trip to Sydney - not the best introduction to the city but fortunately it was only for 2 nights. Drove from Canberra (NOT... More

After reading the reviews on tripadvisor (after having booked the accomodation) i had trepidations about staying but with most other accommodation booked out for the weekend, there was little other reasonably priced choices. In our group there was a couple and a single, we each booked room with an en-suite, and upon arrival was pleasantly surprised, it wasn't an outstanding... More

This was the worst "hotel" we've EVER stayed in. My two friends and I stayed there for NYE. It was the smallest room with 2 single beds and an old mattress on the floor. There was an old floor fan (that barely worked), a TV that didn't work and a disgusting shared bathroom (for the whole floor). No security, dodgey... More

DO NOT believe the attempt by that SHILL review below trying to tell you that the bad reviews must be of ANOTHER Central Private Hotel. First - use streetview and search "Central Private Hotel Sydney Australia" and you will get 358 Elizabeth Street. Have a LOOK at the street view image of this "Hotel" and you will understand that the... More

I first would like to clear up some confusion with these reviews.. Not sure what hotel others on this page are reffering to. There seems to be a Central Private on Wentworth, but there is also a Central Private hotel on Elizabeth St (whatever agent you use to book, just simply check the address is Elizabeth St to determine which...
