Sydney hotellit Surry Hills

Miinukset: Gym could use an update.

Plussat: Loved everything. Staff courteous and willing to please and the general service impeccable. Rooms spacious, clean and well designed. I have already recommended it to my friends and business colleagues. I look forward to many more happy stays at Adina on Crown. Thanks all.

Plussat: The convenience to where we needed to be for our time in Sydney was excellent and is the most important factor in our decision of where to stay. We also find the staff helpful and attentive.

Miinukset: We seldom get enough towels delivered. Not a big deal but perhaps initiative could be taken when a roll-away bed is requested, to deliver another towel too.

Miinukset: hotel reception staff were not helpful.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Poor drop off parking to check in

Plussat: great location to cafe and speciaty shops, unit was a good design also ,good service

Miinukset: a little noisey at night from the street with traffic

Plussat: Great to return and relax after a long day seeing the sights of Sydney. As we were two women with a child we liked the security of the hotel

Miinukset: We were high up with a small child and the windows didn't lock which was worrying

Plussat: Spacious apartment with excellent city views. Conveniently located to excellent dining, shopping, NSW Art Gallery, harbour. Car parking was provided at reasonable cost.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Comfort and value for money

Miinukset: Staff need to be a bit more clued up on their hire car contract with Avis

Plussat: excelent staff

Miinukset: can be noise at times

Plussat: I liked the location, lobby, bottled water and coffee, easy street parking. Express breakfast was nice too. Good for one night business visit. Tiny room, but not a problem, only there to sleep and shower.

Miinukset: Ground floor single room next to the lobby. Way too much light in the room, when trying to sleep. No curtains on the bathroom window. Curtain was the divider between the bed and shower which was an ackward arrangement. iPad wouldn't turn off, I had to place it upside down on the floor. Smoke detector green light was directly above the bed and fairly intense. Also, the bathroom floor floods when taking a shower. These can all easily be fixed and would greatly improve things.

Plussat: The hostel is quite large and has a variety of room accommodations. It was well run with places to store bags on check in and check out. My favorite part about this place was the location. It was near the museum train stop which made getting to other parts of the city a 5 minute train ride or a 20 minute walk. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the heater worked well.

Miinukset: The heater was very strong and I was very dry throughout the night. I recommend a lower bunk in the winter to avoid the dry air from the heater.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: 1. Dreadful place, a rundown 2. Downstairs area where you eat & hang out smells of poo/sewage 3. Patronizing & inconsiderate attitude of staff, rude, hostile & intimidating notices everywhere: "Big Brother is watching you - do your dishes, no jokes!" where a polite "Please do your dishes" would do, "If you activate smoke alarm we'll fine you $500 & evict you in the middle of the night" where a simple "No smoking please" would do 4. Overpriced ($90 for a single bedroom, more than in local hotels) 5. Partially empty vending machine, some products expired 6. No guests allowed in rooms 7. Extremely slow Internet connection 8. Very slow elevator 9. Very limited breakfast 10. They will keep your deposit if you don't do the dishes - illegal by law

Plussat: The ensuite room came with clean towels, floor mat and blankets. Other than the squeky bed, everything else was perfect for the price we paid. The location of hostel is excellent, just 5 mins walk to Paddy's market / Chinatown and 2 mins walk to free shuttle bus stops. The hostel has many security cameras installed, making us feel secured.

Miinukset: As mentioned above, our double bed (with a single upper bed) was super squeaky. Any slight movements will create noise.

Plussat: The location is really convenient. Free Wifi is awesome though the speed is a little slow.

Miinukset: I hired a towel, but the cleaner just took it away without asking. (I didn't want to change it every day; One day I came back and found the towel was disappered.)

Plussat: Location & Price

Miinukset: beds were too hard and bunk beds too noisy when anyone moved

Plussat: close to the city, staff is very friendly

Miinukset: the double-room was way too expensive for the quality provided (no closet, very small room)

Plussat: One of the best hostels you can go. Clean, well organized, big kitchen, awesome roof terrace, fantastic location and still peaceful enough to have a good night.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and helpful, ready to answer any question. The other guests were fabulous and great to talk to :)

Miinukset: The internet service was slower than dial-up. I also didn't like having to pay for a towel ($4 + $10 refundable deposit) or to store my bag for an hour or so ($5).Other than that, everything was great.

Plussat: Good service

Miinukset: Perhaps the noise level from the streets

Plussat: The room, the shared toilet and bathroom are very clean. And the bed is very comfortable, big and clean. Even there are enough lockers in the room for all guests. The best backpacker hostel I have seen so far. And the price and location are really good as well.

Miinukset: I stayed in a six beds room. It was really hard for me to sleep well, especially there was party in that night. People came in and went out all night long. The door made such noise, including the toilet door.

Plussat: great location!

Miinukset: no toiletries were provided.

Plussat: It's located right next to Central CityRail Station, as well as bus stops, which made for easy trips around the city. Haymarket was within walking distance, too.

Miinukset: You could easily hear the noise coming from the hallways, especially from noisy and rude occupants.

Plussat: Wasn't particularly impressed with anything.

Miinukset: First two rooms we were shown were in a really bad state. Very run down and damp. Eventually the third room we were shown was exceptable but not great.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: We booked a private room and our bathroom was incredibly dirty and disgusting. The room smelled and was very dirty (including the bed). We changed hostels after the first night.

Plussat: Internet

Plussat: Home backpackers is very affordable and good for the money your paying. I prefer a side to b side although both sides are both good. It's awesome that it's so close to the main city and central I soul definitely stay here again and probably every time I stay in Sydney.

Miinukset: The bathroom got quite dirty but I would probably just put that down to dirty backpackers

Plussat: easy access, close to city and on bus routes

Plussat: Cheap, good location.

Miinukset: Kitchens too small for the amount of guests, not enough cooking equipment (only one fork!), room was too hot ( warmer than rest of hostel), no permanent member of staff to talk to to get stuff sorted out (when we complained about lack of cutlery all they could do was pass on a message), unfriendly due to layout of the two buildings (couldn't eat in the outdoor area without taking our food out into the street first)

Plussat: it was close to where I needed to go. the cleaner was friendly. it was easy to book.

Miinukset: hot water in one of the male showers was inconsistant

Plussat: centrally located and close to central station. handy if catching a plane

Miinukset: sqeaky fire door next to room - noisy at night

Plussat: Fairly clean and quiet. One of the cheaper options.

Miinukset: Small room, reception apparently opened at 8:00am but I was there waiting until 8:45 for someone to turn up so I could check in. Bathrooms were terrible, one shower wasn't working and one had no lock. Also security card opened two doors (not visible from each other) at the same time (there are two sides to the hostel) so if you entered one door the other would be open for anyone to enter!!

Miinukset: It was noisy the 1st night with some backpackers who keep slamming their doors throughout the night. The toilet was always occupied in the morning with backpackers queuing to bath. The advantage was it was near the railway and main road, but also means that it is quite noisy.
