We arrived mid afternoon, and had to use the intercom for the receptionist to come and let us in the side door. Not overly friendly, but very efficient receptionist. Free parking across the street in a huge carpark behind the main street. Excellent! The double room with private bathroom was not big but had a double glass door opening onto... More

I stayed at this establishment two nights ago and the best I can say is that it offered somewhere to rest my head after a very big and late night out. The first thing I noticed was that the main entrance into the reception wasn't open and you had to be let in a side door and up a corridor.... More

the room was an absolute disgrace, bathroom was disgusting, receptionist was rude and unfriendly, paid 50 dollars each between 3 of us for a tiny excuse for a room, wouldn't recommend to anyone, literally, even if your desperate for accomodation, just sleep in the local park for free, you will be gaurentted a better nights sleep..

It was a mission just to try and check in. Once we checked in we were told we had to check out half an hour earlier than what the booking confirmation said. The room was filthy, the bathroom wasn't cleaned prior, and the beds were pathetic. I refused to shower or use any of their "kitchen" facilities. Their were also... More

Not the best place I have stayed. Rooms are tiny and poorly appointed though they had coffee making gear but it is in Newtown and the chances are you will not use them. They didn't even have little shampoo/bath gels in the shower. Just a tiny bar of soap in a difficult to open packet. They do have Parking which... More

My family stayed in this hotel last night in the 5 bed family room. It was appalling. The bathroom cabinet was full of other people's rubbish including empty beer cans and things I don't want to mention. The room had no air conditioning and it was Sydney's hottest day for years, we couldn't open the window as it overlooked busy... More

We stayed here after returning to Sydney after 6 years away, so we know this city! Writing this review to support the comments made by others - that this is by far one of the worst places to stay in Sydney at the rates that are charged and we will never go back. This place is an embarrassment to a... More

This hotel is appallingly bad value. I stayed here for a whopping $100 a night and at the Ibis in Darling Harbour for only $150, including full-on buffet breakfast. The lobby at the Sunrise Lodge looks OK but don't be deceived. My room was awful - tiny, cold, cluttered with dreadful bits and pieces of furniture that looked as if... More
