Hotel Cambridge has the best location: steps to shopping & food on Crown Street, close to the CBD & Opera House. And it has the lowest room rates of any decent hotel in Surry Hills. Otherwise, it's an average hotel in every way. Rooms are average sized. Clean, but not fastidiously so. Service is competent, but disdainful. If price is... More

Location of hotel is good, rooms are small though & the lifts are TINY if you have a pram beware. We had a king size bed that had a bed head that was stained & dirty - YUK! When I asked for it to be cleaned....there was no apology from the staff. I consider a CLEAN BED to be a... More

Extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Upgraded our room and also allowed us an earlier check-in which was very much appreciated after a very long, tiring flight from the U.S., making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Prompt responses to email communications by hotel reservation consultant. Central location and assessable to bus and railway stations. Short commute to business district and Circular... More

I attended a Nursing Conference here and even though I live in Sydney, I decided to stay on site for the convenience. The winter deal, which I booked via the web was excellent, it included breakfast and free wi fi. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, the room clean and comfortable.

Loved the size of the room! No bath in the bathroom but it was newly renovated and very clean. If I was to be really picky, while some parts of the room were new and modern, some of the finishes in the room (select pieces of furniture) were a little worn and strangely I think the windows needed updating. Cosmetically... More

The rooms are very nice, clean and roomy. My one concern is that there isn't much storage room. I got a very good deal with buffet breakfast included. The hotel is within walking distance to the central station though the hills feel like they are mountains by the end of a long day but the bed is firm and comfortable.... More
