Surry Hills Hotels with Gym

57hotel is really beyond my expectation. I'm a solo traveller, the single room is just enough size and space for me! Clean, simple, no frills, and yet functional! Location is great, just a 5mins walk from central station, has loads of cafes around, great for coffee lover like me. Coffee machine is available 24/7. Complimentary pastries and cookies available every morning. I will book again for my nx trip!

I've stay there quite a long time during the 2021 year and I was feeling like I was at home. The number of guest was very low because of the Covid. The staff is nice and the small size of the hotel makes it feels as a second home. I've got good memories from this place

We just finished an absolutely fantastic week-long stay here for the Women's World Cup. The staff is absolutely lovely and they went out of their way to help me out as I was on a scooter/crutches from an injury back home. We especially loved our chats with H who works overnight. The room was perfectly sized for my best friend and I and the bathroom had enough space for the two of us to use the mirrors in the morning as well. They even provided a little chair I could use in the shower as well. The hotel is located in a lovely brick building that used to be a convent and there are little portraits going up the stairs with historic information about the location. The rooftop terrace is a fantastic place to relax with a drink in the afternoon or evening and they have an evening Gin & Tonic cart where you can have a personalized cocktail for $10AUD. There's also a reasonably priced Honour Bar where you don't have to worry about being overcharged just because you're in a hotel. There's also a liquor store about 7 minutes away by walking if you want to bring in your own ingredients. The pastries available in the morning were delicious, though we did opt for local cafes generally after our morning coffee and tea. Really enjoyed Al Taglio and Shaffa for our local meals (pizza and Mediterranean) which are to your left and right as you exit through the Albion exit. The Surry Hills neighborhood is super charming and lovely. It's only about 5-7 minutes from Central Station and multiple other bus lines, so it's easily navigable from the airport and around Sydney in general. Absolutely loved our visit and we will 100% be back.

On the ambience side, the decor and modern-ish art was uplifting and fun. The room was very clean. But, we were surprised to find the room so small. In order for 2 people to get into the bed, one had to crawl over the other. The very small window sill became the nightstand. There was no room for luggage, and no luggage racks - we were told they didn’t have enough. That meant one suitcase on the floor and one on the very small plastic table. The retro-refrigerator was cool, but my traveling companion kept threatening to move it out into the hall to create some space in the room the whole time we were there. And then, the very small bathroom, the shower door doubled as the door to the bathroom. Have you ever looked into a microwave? The shower and the bathroom walls had the same dot matrix pattern as a microwave door. My companion was surprised to see while showering she could see me relaxing on the bed, and when she screamed “can you see me?” I replied “yes”. My companion now has bathroom-PTSD. Not only was the shower see through, there was a full-room-view sitting on the throne, trying to do your business. Then the realization somebody may be watching. PTSD! Our solution was to use the downstairs public bathroom for major activities. Did I mention IBS???

We stayed here for 4 nights in May 2022 and what a calamity of an experience. It even begun before we landed in Sydney with them cancelling our booking due to a water leak in the room they allocated to us. After trying to find alternative accommodation at the last minute we were then advised all was OK. The greeting when we arrived was good and we were shown our room located directly behind the communal kitchen (room 1). Apparently they supplied a continental breakfast each morning with bakery items, cereals, orange juice, coffee but you wouldn't know it because only on one morning of the four we were there we were greeted with leftover crumbs or one lonely croissant. On one morning there was even no milk, coffee or orange juice at all. This place does not have a manned reception which I have no issue with but each time we went downstairs to the bar to ask a question we were treated with distain from the girls working there. The room was spacey but just really poor hygiene and basic....very basic. Then to top it off on our final night the vanity in the bathroom fell off the wall and onto me throwing out all our toiletries and leaving me with a heavy bang on the head. They couldn't fix the problem and instead arranged alternate accommodation at another hotel so we had to pack up our bags and relocate unexpectedly. By the time we got to the other hotel it was 11:15pm and we had to leave the following morning. They didn't even offer us any compensation or at the very least a breakfast voucher considering we had only managed to get something to eat on 1 of the 4 mornings we were there. Just really poor service with little regard to how it impacted us. NEVER AGAIN.

Made a last minute booking due to broad train network failure and was unable to get home in a timely fashion. Location very convenient to Central station . The bar was buzzing and the staff were very friendly on check-in given I’d booked 10mins earlier on booking.com. They took me to my room and gave me a rundown of the services. While the rooms are old, they are clean and the linen and towels were good quality and the bed and pillows comfortable. It was a hot night and the A/C delivered keeping my peri menopausal at bay. I ordered a delicious meal from the bistro and was able to walk to work very well rested the next morning. I will happily stay there again.

Botanik is just amazing for us. We stayed 9 nights in a 2bedroom and 2bathroom apartment which is gloriously huge. Very inexpensive and best of all it is all white and black and well-equipped for a holiday stay. It is in Surry Hills along Elizabeth Street and everything is so convenient - walk to Central Station and both tram and bus stops are within walking distance to to take you to almost every place of interest like Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Queen Victoria Building, Chinatown, markets and even to Bondi Junction, Bondi Beach, Brontë Beach and Bath, and more. Trust me, you would rather stay in Surry Hills in this exceptionally tasty apartment than in a hotel room in CBD location.

Room was quaint and cosy…very low lighting and very small sink…otherwise comfortable. The hotel overall has a wonderful decore….shabby sheik at its best. Good quality wine list ….. burgers were expensive but very good. Very central….however i expect weekends with DJ till early hours would make weekend stay difficult.
