Spent the last 2 nights here. Bed was comfortable, clean room and ensuite. Linen in good order. Good price. Close to bus stop and plenty of places to eat or you can self cater which is great. Have booked again later in the year. Thanks for your hospitality. The street was noisy Saturday night but that is easily fixed with... More

Convenient location for Sydney central and regular bus services up and down Glebe Point Road. However, the rooms at the Alishan are not cleaned well or regularly and there are often cockroaches in the bathrooms and kitchen. Fridges in bedrooms need to be cleaned properly otherwise they smell. The tatami room leaves a lot to be desired, the matting is... More

with having to get up at 4am to go to work we didn't appreciated the noise of other guests all night in and out the back door and in the carpark. The linen was very old the quilts quite stained, this is more of a backpacker hotel and as Aussies staying there overnight for work we felt unwelcome and not... More

Near to UniSyd and Broadway shopping centre. All within short walks and very convenient. Glebe is a safe place even at night when walking home at 11pm. Plenty of good restaurants and bus stops are nearby. Room is small but okay since we only come back to sleep. This is a guesthouse so don't expect hotel kind of service. Noise... More

This is a beautiful old victorian house, bus stop across the road street is full of shops & cafes, staff were flexible, prompt to respond to email, and rates were good. I've chosen this place as it's been recommended by Lonely planet and was pleased with the outcome. I stayed one night (final night in Sydney) in a dorm ($30)... More

If you come here expecting even three star service you are looking at the wrong place. It is very no frills, basic accommodation. They don't clean your room each day (so what!), the linen and pillows could do with an overhaul but the place itself is great and in a fantastic location. We stayed with a large group of people...

Two parts to this review...great and exceptional: Great because of the spectacular location and outstanding guest welcome. Exceptional because of the attention received by the “very professional manager”, whenever we need any services or the complained about the night staff.
