“Really good accommodation for short stays”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

This place is great - the rooms are modern and clean, the staff are friendly and the location is one of the best in Sydney.

My gripe is that, at least in the rooms I have had, there is no place for storing clothes (if you're there for more than 2 days) and no power points. I was there for business and needed somewhere to plug in my lap top and phone but there wasn't anywhere to do so. Not a singe spare power point.

That aside though, this is a great and funky hotel and I'd return.

“Great boutique hotel in fantastic area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Fantastic location. Near a wonderful restaurant area. Also close to Oxford Street and the happenings there. A longer walk to CBD, Opera House, etc. but we did it several times. Staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable of the city and sites, restaurants and venues. Hotel is very clean, very quiet, nicely appointed. We had a room on the second floor in the back. Super quiet and private, though small. But we chose not to spring for a grander room. No complaints other than there is very little closet space and no drawers for clothing or anything. On the plus side there is an economical kitchenette with mini fridge, sink, microwave and bowls, plates, cutlery etc. For a longer stay it's nice to have some foods in the room so you're not only dependent on eating out... even for snacks. Highly recommend.

“Boutique with the capital "B" !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We stayed here during New Years which is always a very busy period in Sydney. Very warm welcome from Luke and a very nice room. Perfect for a couple. All was very clean, nice bath room, Aveda products and perfect wifi in the room. No facilities at the hotel but you are in Darlinghurst so cafe, restaurants all within minutes walk serving all day breakfast. Location is great. Would definitely return. Staff are all very helpful and friendly. A must go when in Sydney.

“Darlinghurst and Luke”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Everyone is nice but Luke rocks. The guy knows everything there is to know about Sydney and he is happy to share it with you. Darlinghurst was a major hit. Who needs the downtown tourist zone with the monster hotels. Darlinghurst is the complete opposite. The whole city seems walkable from here (of course it's not). There are loads of restaurants and bars in the area. If you must take a taxi there are loads on this street. If you come by metro use the King's Cross stop. It's minutes away. We originally used the Museum stop -- wrong. Should have called Luke. It's almost all uphill from there!

So the hotel was very comfortable. My bed was perfect. We stayed in an unusual room that we really liked. It was on the main street and we had NO noise issues at all. The front porch was nice for a glass or two of wine in the evening. Wifi is not perfect in our room but Luke advised as such. In the hotel otherwise it was great. They had Aveda bath items.

So for the complainers....no iphone dock. I had just gotten the 4S and wanted to give it a spin. Oh well. They don't have a restaurant or bar -- no idea why they would with all the other options in the area.

Again....Luke, Luke, Luke.

Room Tip: Ask Luke when you get there. We did.
