My wife and I stayed in Medusa for 3 nights at the end of January. The hotel is perfectly located to explore Sydney city centre (20mins walk) and other areas including Kings Cross and Surrey Hills.

We had a room on the 3rd floor which was quiet. The room was reasonably spacious with a large bathroom. Whislt the room was fine and very clean the decore was slightly basic.

Whilst there are no amenities in the hotel (no bar, pool, place to eat etc) the staff are very friendly and helpful.

The location makes easy walking to a lot of places to eat in Darlinghurst and Victoria Road. The bar opposite the hotel is pretty good.

The personal touches given during our stay were appreciated and the hotel is very clean.

I would recommend this hotel for people wanting a well located, clean and friendly hotel.

Very welcoming staff, handy location (but of course inner city so a little noise) - we had a great time and would go back for sure. Walked everywhere! Free pastries, apples and papers in the morning a nice touch.

My wife and i stayed at the Medusa for one night and felt that apart from the location it had very little going for it. I have read about the excellent service in other reviews, those staff must have bee on a break because we were never made to feel welcome, the staf were friendly just not to us. Our room was spacious but still just a room, the exhaust fan cover in the bathroom was growing things and all the louvre shutters are fine but a dust trap. There is 24 hour service but you have to ring someone to come o reception, there was a sign stating they would be back in flash, but they only came when we got tired of waiting and rang, again.The hotel is in a great location, easy walking distance to the CBD and close to lots of restaurants.
In our opinion the hotel does not represent good value for money and we won't be returning.

Having been travelling to Sydney in November 2012, I had the privilege to stay at the Medusa Hotel in Darlinghurst. I was quite impressed by the outstanding welcome and sense of arrival and customer service from the team.The beautiful decoration of the hotel, its reception and the rooms add to the vibe.
Being a frequent traveller, I stay at various hotels but the Medusa hotel and its concept is quite unique due to personalized and dedicated service.
Sitting in the courtyard, reading the newspapers and sipping Italian coffee from nearby Bunker cafe is a wonderful experience.
Sydney is a great city and the knowledge from the team is immense in relation to cultural events such as exhibitions, restaurants and places of interest. During my stay, I was recommended to visit the Museum of NSW, to see the Francis Bacon exhibition - truly extraordinary paintings.
My experience of Sydney has been remarkable and unforgettable mainly due to the marvelous time spent at the Medusa hotel because the recommendations. I have really enjoyed my stay and I can't wait for my next trip there - and to Sydney.
