Darlinghurst Hotels with Bars

"Really cool spot to stay! Short walk from Kings Cross station and road with lots of restaurants, bars, and shops. Super friendly staff, with a couple free drinks from the bar. Small but comfortable room. Shared bathrooms are fine, separate toilet rooms and shower rooms."

"Pros: 1. The hotel's location is unbeatable, right next to Hyde Park. It's walking distance to Westfield, the Australian Museum, and the Big Bus stop. 2. For those renting a car, it's super convenient as it's directly an Eurocar pickup point. 3. There are plenty of great eateries nearby. If you're staying here, I'd say skip the hotel breakfast entirely and explore the various brunch spots around. Especially about 300-400 meters from the hotel, there's a fantastic Chaco Ramen place – their Yuzu Scallop ramen is highly recommended! We stayed for four days and ate there twice; both the adults and kids loved it. Cons: 1. The hotel is indeed old, and the facilities generally show their age. This is especially true for the sofa and chairs in the room, which felt a bit dirty. 2. The daily housekeeping service was really subpar; it feels like there's no consistent training. One day they'd toss your pajamas here, the next day they'd put them there... and sometimes, if they felt like it, they'd provide amenities, but if not, even if you were out, they wouldn't replenish them. Used cups also seemed to be placed wherever, without a fixed spot. 3. It felt like there were a lot of Indian guests staying at the hotel. If you're okay with that, then disregard this point. 4. The hotel elevators are very slow, which is particularly frustrating during peak times in the morning when there's heavy traffic!"

"Ideal for business and sightseeing alone. The comfort was very comfortable. The hotel staff is nice."

"The hotel fully met our expectations and deserves a high rating, with one significant exception. It's not suitable for groups or multiple guests sharing a room because only one key is provided per room. This same key also opens the main entrance door. If the person with the key steps out, the other guest is completely locked in and can't even leave to use the restroom. This is a huge problem that the hotel needs to address immediately."
