We really enjoyed this hotel - could not believe we found a hotel at such a good price so close to the CBD that included parking. We used the pool area which was great and would be a good spot to have a BBQ. Full kitchen in the room, plenty of space, nice balcony.

Breakfast was included and just the standard cereal, yogurt, juice, and toast which suited us just fine.

We liked this location as we spend half our time in Newtown and half in the CBD. Redfern was only a 5 minute walk away (I would suggest using the main road which is quite safe instead of taking the short cut - although we did this once and all was fine.) $10 cab to Oxford St and also only $12 from Darling Harbour.

Room was nice and clean and nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable

Nice friendly accommodation in Sydney.The location was great for us as we were visting the University in Broadway area.Very clean,spacious accommodation with both kitchen, laundry and free car parking and breakfast daily. Very good onsite management and great value for Sydney accommodation

The Waldorf is not luxurious, but not cheap either, and not that well-situated and not that exceptional by any hotel rating system, but it worked for me. One by one: not luxurious, but a very functional room with kitchenette, bathroom, washer/dryer, balcony, closet space, cable TV and a comfortable bed. The management thought of everything: dishwashing soap, sponges, dishtowels, utensils and dishes, laundry detergent and chairs and table on the balcony. The apartment is also well-designed, with the kitchen by the balcony for ventilation, rather than by the entrance.

As for the location: it is a good 10 minute walk to the main road (Broadway) or Central station, and the surrounding streets are deserted at night; on the other hand, the area seems more residential than unsafe.

Now for the ratings climbing: the Waldorf has a few extras that might boost up its ratings. It serves breakfast in its café. It has a (tiny) swimming pool and “spa” (chairs) on its roof. It has a fitness room (closed for renovation). It has an elevator and in-building parking. But honestly, anyone seeking out the Waldorf for these amenities is better off elsewhere. The reason to come here is for the solid basics, fully functional apartments, and acceptable price (for Sydney). And the reception is friendly. In short, it’s totally workable so long as you keep your expectations in check.

When you arrive, you will notice the great hospitality that exists in this hotel. Room is spacious with great and there is everything you need. It's all modern and clean.

We stayed three nights and towels were changed twice. Bed wasn't made at all. So the service lacks a little bit.

Breakfast was suprisingly good, they say that it's "light breakfast" but it's actually a pretty regular hotel breakfast.

Highlight of this hotel is the rooftop. You can find a medium sized pool and a jacuzzi.

The location. It's like 10 minute walk from Central station and 20 minutes to CBD. There is no bus stops nearby and there is just a few restaurants within walking distance. So, if you are not travelling with car - I don't recommend this hotel. But, if you don't need public transportation - this is the hotel.
