Located in Chinatown, it was convenient to the McDonalds Entertainment Center, where our conference was. Unfortunately, that is the only good thing I can find to say. Body hair was found in the mattress covers & body fluid stains on the pillows. When it was reported to the front desk, the male night manager came up and replaced the bedding... More

We booked Breakfree on George via Trailfinders in the UK. We wanted a good location to explore Sydney on foot and as we wouldn't be spending much time in the room somewhere that didn't break the bank. This property ticks both boxes. The room itself was very clean, and had a small kitchen area that was useful as we could... More

My wife and I stayed there this week. It is a lovely place to stay in the central CBD area with lots of restaurants and shopping around. Darling habour is just a 5 mins walk from the hotel and we enjoyed spending the evening there. Nice and helpfull staff as well. I would recomend a freind to stay there. More

First time staying here, pre booked through central reservations, on arrival at reception check in was smooth & efficient, as was our checkout at the end of the stay. Allocated a room on 6th floor facing Sussex St, not much of a view but no street noise either day or night unless on the balcony. The room was equipped with... More

I originally posted a review registering my anger and disappointment at being charged for pay per view TV when we had not used this service. I complained at the time of checking out, but despite this, the charge still stood as no fault could be found with the media system. On my return to the UK, I tried contacting the... More

We stayed for 2 nights in a 1 bed apartment at the start of our Oz adventure, the hotel is well located for all the main sights - 10 mins to Darling Harbour and about 25 mins to Circular Quay, Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The apartment was comfortable with a small kitchen area, seating and table and a very... More

Stayed in a two bedroom apartment on level 13 which had views of other city buildings. Lovely kitchen with good quality appliances and two good sized bathrooms. The lounge area was on the small side but a balcony with an outdoor table made up for this. Great to be close to everything: walk to Darling Harbour and the free city... More

I stayed BFoG for three nights in March 6-9, 2012 with my family. On the first night we got a spacious two-queen-beds-room with a small kitchen on the 5th floor at the corner and we liked it. However, we found the main door was locked after we got in and could not open it again. So we called the front... More
