Hotels near Sydney Central Station, Haymarket

Lovely stay at Caption by Hyatt. The hotel is in a fantastic location, just a short walk from Chinatown and the Capitol Theatre, making it a great base for exploring the city. The only minor downside is that the lobby is quite small, and there are stairs leading to the lifts, which may be less convenient if you have heavy luggage or a stroller. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable city stay.

Excellent stay! The hotel is very close to the bay, and the night views are beautiful. Facilities: Well-equipped Service: Very good Cleanliness: Excellent Environment: Great. The breakfast even had congee, which satisfied my Chinese palate, along with fried eggs and delicious coffee.

Visited during Chinese New Year, so Sydney hotels were all overpriced. I chose Morris based on its price and location. First, the location is quite good. Navigation suggested getting off at Museum Station, but Central Station feels closer. The hotel sign is on the exterior wall, so it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. There's no disabled access at the entrance – you have to carry your luggage up and down stairs every time you enter or exit. Be aware that the ground floor is a restaurant, and the restaurant's front desk doubles as the hotel's front desk; I initially thought I'd gone to the wrong place! The overall vibe is very Australian. I booked a room with a window, and got one with a window facing a wall. Since the front desk staff only spoke English and I was only staying for one night, I didn't bother asking to switch. The room was quite small. Breakfast is à la carte, but it was delicious! It's probably the same standard as the restaurant downstairs. A meal plus a drink would cost over 30 dollars. The lady taking orders was very enthusiastic! (If you're not confident in your English, I wouldn't really recommend this place; it feels a bit too 'local'. My poor English made ordering a bit nerve-wracking, haha).

Staying at Ascott again, there was a mix-up with the room number during check-in, but the front desk quickly resolved the issue and offered complimentary breakfast as compensation. The breakfast quality is excellent and quite refined. They had smoked salmon, cold cuts, various breads, vegetables, coffee, juice, milk, and fruits, as well as eggs Benedict. This time, I was in a different room, and the shower water flow was excellent, with good hot and cold temperature control. This is more in line with the Ascott brand I'm familiar with. Perhaps room 1219 has some facility issues that hopefully will be improved soon.

Overall, it is worth it for its location and price within Sydney CBD. You can have a room of decent size without burning a hole in your pocket. While it is not a fancy hotel and has been refurbished, you can still see some dents and marks on the walls. However, it is clean and comfortable. One thing to note: the hotel informed me that the reception would open at 7 AM. When I arrived, there was no one to be seen, and I didn’t have a data SIM that could make local calls. Eventually, I asked a friendly local to borrow their phone to make the calls. It was a bit inconvenient.

Overall, we were very satisfied. The front desk staff were friendly and even gave us a bottle of wine and a card for our anniversary. The room was spacious and bright, with a washing machine and dryer, and all the amenities were excellent. There was also plenty of living room and kitchen space. The location was very close to the railway, with many food options nearby. Although basic cleaning was only provided every four days, it was sufficient. The only drawback was that on our last two nights, we noticed cockroaches crawling out from the drain. I believe they came in because insecticide was placed in the wine, so hopefully, this can be addressed to avoid giving the impression of poor hygiene.

Facilities: Well-equipped. Cleanliness: Clean and tidy. Service: Good. Ambiance: The hotel isn't soundproof, so it can be a bit noisy at night with cars passing by on the street. It's in Chinatown, an Asian crew hotel, convenient for getting to the city center and a handy meeting point for one-day tours.

The location is excellent and very convenient, especially for getting around the city. The price is affordable, making it a good option for budget travelers. The staff were friendly and the check-in process was easy. However, I think the cleanliness could be improved, as the room and shared areas didn’t feel as clean as I expected. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay if you’re looking for a budget-friendly accommodation in a great location.

The hotel's location is truly excellent. It's about a 5-6 minute walk from the Museum train station and the light rail station, and only 2 minutes from the bus stop, making transportation incredibly convenient. Chinatown and the large Coles Worth Square supermarket are also not far. Even better, our room type came with a washing machine and dryer. The kitchen was fully equipped with an oven, toaster, stovetop, pots, dishwasher, and even a capsule coffee machine, which made preparing a simple breakfast in the morning very easy. However, you definitely hear the train noise. Our floor wasn't very low, and we personally found it acceptable. Also, when booking, the platform stated daily cleaning, but in reality, it was only once a week. After we brought it up with the platform, they immediately offered us a discount as compensation. During our stay, one morning around 4 AM, the fire alarm went off, followed by the sound of fire trucks. It scared us down to the first floor, where many other guests had already gathered. Luckily, the firefighters eventually came down and said it was a false alarm. Also, during the only cleaning service we received, the cleaning staff somehow broke the towel rack in our bathroom. It took two days for it to be repaired, which caused some inconvenience.

The property boasts an enviable and highly convenient location. It is perfectly situated within walking distance of major public transport links, including the train station and several bus routes, making your daily commute effortless. Additionally, the surrounding area offers a vibrant neighborhood feel, with a fantastic selection of supermarkets, trendy cafes, and local amenities right on your doorstep.
