Best Chippendale Hotels

Send the children to school. The hotel is located close to Sydney University and about 20 minutes' walk from the downtown Chinatown. It is relatively quiet. It is an apartment-style hotel, and it is convenient to cook and wash clothes. The hotel may be older, but the hygiene is still good. The front desk is not 24 hours. Check-in is from 9 am to 6 pm on weekdays. On weekends, there seems to be no one from 2 pm to 4 pm. If you arrive at the hotel when someone is not at work, you need to contact the hotel in advance!

Close proxy to central station! Many things to walk around the hotel and next to Central Park mall. Room was huge and comfy!

This hotel has everything you need, just a few steps from Central station. Very clean and quiet. Free Netflix to keep my kids busy which really surprised me as most hotel we've been to charge money for it. There are microwave, kettle, fridge, hair dryer in the room. At the reception, there are complimentary tea and coffee, fruits, Skittles which you can get them anytime. The coffee machine can make warm and cold milk, too. In the morning there are some pastry for breakfast. This is our second time stay here and we still love it so much. The only minus point is that there's no tissue boxes anywhere in the room and remember to bring your toothbrush and toothpaste.

Due to the restaurant renovation, the current temporary area offers a limited selection of breakfast options, but the prices remain unchanged from before. I strongly recommend not purchasing breakfast from the hotel until the renovation is complete.

I stayed at the Mercure Hotel for 3 nights and enjoyed my stay. Brilliant facilities such as Eve’s Bar, the swimming pool and gym. It is also in a prime location, with a 2 minutes walk from Central Station. My room was immaculately clean and I had a great nights sleep.

Due to late check-in, they let me check in at the bar on the first floor instead of the reception! It was hard to find the entrance to the hotel, so here's a tip: If you just ask to go in and check in, they'll kindly help you out!

If all you need is a place to sleep, this hotel is quite decent. However, if you’re looking for a bit more in terms of service, it seems this hotel falls short of expectations.

It is located in the chippendale area, close to the University of Sydney. It is not on the main road and requires a few short walks, which is also more convenient. The room is clean and tidy, and the decoration is refreshing and warm. This is my second stay. This time there is a new USB charging port and cleaning service is provided every day.

Industrial decoration style, simple and bright. The hotel is in a good location, quiet in a busy city. It is a 10-minute walk to Sydney University and UTS, and about 10 minutes to the central train station. There is a shopping mall next to it, which has a Coles supermarket, which is very convenient for buying daily necessities. It is suitable for family travel, with a washing machine and a kitchen refrigerator. The only drawback is that you need to check out at 10 o'clock in the morning, and a 30 Australian dollar fee will be charged for late check-out.

If you're in Sydney for The Swinging Cat World Championships, this is NOT the hotel for you. Tiny (but clean and modern) rooms. The hotel exists to try and deliver a bit of value to cheapskate tourists like myself. You're right on Broadway (not to be confused with actual NYC Broadway btw (whose photos are somewhat wankily plastered all over the lobby)), so there's no excuses for not walking everywhere; and Julie on front desk may not be able to get you a bigger room but may find you one with a window (!) as she runs the place with a friendly, but ruthlessly matter-of-fact demeanour that brings to mind the (often hidden) intended benign benefits of authoritarian Facism (not that I'm a fan, mind). She's also there literally ALL the time to the point that she may in fact be an unthreatening-AI-robotic-beta concept-receptionist. You're not going to like it...but then again, you probably know that already...aaand, it's certainly better than a hostel.
