We stayed here for a week and thought it was alright. The place is dated and the facilities needed upgrading (not much of a kitchen) as the bedroom looked really old and shabby. It was comfortable enough and we found it to be quiet. Pretty good location too. Not bad considering we hadn't paid much for our stay. The staff... More

This hotel is really a pub with rooms. We had an en suite room which I can only describe as adequate. The bed linen was way past its best and needed replacing. The paintwork on the outside of the building was peeling and needs renovation. Our room and the corridor it was on had recently been repainted so a plus... More

I stayed here for about 2 weeks while I tried to find more permanent accommodation in Sydney. Very reasonably priced for what you get. The dorms were very cramped: they were about 4x3m, with 3 bunk beds, so not a lot of space elsewhere. Carpets were really dirty, but by the time I left they were changing them and re... More

IF to put the service part asisde - it's worth the money. The location is ok and the rooms are large. It is above a bar so it is rather noisy in the evening (especially when there is live music on). However the service was so unfriendly that it topped any good emotions we might have had. Started with them... More

Didn't really know what to expect from this one when I turned up. Booked it because it was cheap and needed somewhere to crash for two nights upon arrival in Sydney. The room was spacious and although it wasn't exactly chic (needed a bit of paint) it was very clean and comfortable and really quiet for somewhere in the city.... More

For the price, Lord Wolseley provides a pleasant, acceptable, no-frills experience. * More HOSTEL than HOTEL. Staff is NOT there 24-7 but there is an emergency number to call. * Housed in an old building above a pub but surprisingly not noisy (perhaps because the pub closes at midnight). * As other reviewers have mentioned, the establishment attracts "the right...

Manager confirmed via email that I could come in and pay in person as I had explained that their T&C's of not claiming responsibilty for safety of credit card was an issue for me. Gave manager dates of booking and said would be in over the weekend. On arrival booked out, no record of my request, manager phoned - no... More

This hotel is very cheap for sydney but there is obviously a problem with mould as my usually mild asthma was really bad here. The bar downstairs can be quite noisy although the noise usually finishes by midnight. We also had a maid waltz in our room while we were sleeping! stay somewhere else if you can afford to.... also... More

"the lord" as we call it, is genuinely one of the best hostels we stayed at in Australia, let alone Sydney. we stayed there for months, it was great. the staff are fantastic! really friendly and helpful. The hostel itself is small, yes, cramped, on occasion but its friendly and charming and has everything you need. free breakfast which is... More
