Castlereagh Boutique Hotel Sydney

The hotel is charm but the room very old, smell and is overpriced. The biggest issues in the hotel were the lack of AC & i can't slept because the AC fan very very noise at night.

I don't understand how this hotel has received such good scores. The room I had was extremely small, very dated and not that clean. Had real issue with the shower flooding the bathroom! Also room service is only available between 5pm and 9pm (or thereabouts) which is not good for business travellers. Given all that, I wouldn't say it was value for money. On the flipside the location is fantastic - easy to get around city and also find taxis.

Pros: The hotel is located in the center of Sydney, free 555 bus to the harbour bridge and the opera house (less than 10 mins ride). Two blocks away the main george st. Everything very convenient. Cons: The hotel is pretty old styled and they don't have options for 2 bed.

Pros: good location, friendly staff, classy hall and ambiance. Cons: bed wasn't too comfortable, bathroom wasn't too learn, blankets left me a little cold. Lighting was a little poor, 10 dollars for internet though there was an accesspoint you can access. Elevators are slow, uses keys instead of cards.

This hotel provides a convenient location to see the sights of Sydney. Public transportation is easily available. The staff was quite pleasant and accommodating. The room was very basic and small with a double bed but clean. No view at all from the window.

The "Boutique" in the title is just misleading. Beyond location positives, there is nothing else as a reason to recomend it. The worst of all was the noise coming from the construction site just next door where work started as eartly as 07:00 AM. There were two other strange details "build in" the hotel structure - the first is that room size where the hight is twice (or more) biger than any other of demensions and second: the window glass is reinforced and not trasparent (at least - no idea what is the weather outside). Most of other hotel's details were pretty much usual stuff.

The location and the lobby were unbeatable for the price. However, the room was extremely tiny and the bed took up almost all of the walking space in the room. The bathroom was just big enough to turn around. The elevators in the hotel also appeared to break down a few times while we were there for 4 nights. All in all, the place was clean though so for the price, I would most likely stay there again, I just can't say that I'd really go out of my way to recommend it to someone.

Room was very small but served its purpose. could of been a little cleaner. Had only three encounters with staff, one told me that using the airport shuttle at 5:15 am would not get me to the airport on time best to take a taxi @ 55 to 60 AUD. Made me think that he had an arrangement with the Taxi company. The other front desk person Denis booked us for the 5:15 and we made it to the airport with time to spare.

Small but comfortable. Not easy to locate with no outstanding sign out front.

The best part of the hotel for me was a free washer and drier on each floor and they even provide laundry soup which is great. The room was simple and small but just want you needed. I would stay again if I wanted a budget hotel.
