“Convenient to the rugby at Moore Park stadium”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

We stay here occasionally when the rugby union is on at the nearby stadium as it's a short walk from the hotel. Woollahra town centre is also nearby, offering plenty of dining options. This time we stayed in one of their refurbished rooms - which was tastefully done in keeping with the historical style of the building (except for the... More

“Home away from home”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

If you are looking for a hotel with a warm friendly atmosphere and old world charm, rather than the sterile impersonal hotel chains, then this is the hotel for you. The Hughenden has become my home away from home when I am in Sydney, so I stay there regularly. It is perfectly situated in Woollahra between Sydney CBD and Bondi,... More

“I probably will not return to this hotel”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

I was looking forward to return to this hotel where on previous occasions I had spent such a wonderful time. And I really like the location. I have to admit that I was quite disappointed. First when I made my booking (well ahead of my travel) I had insisted to have a large as possible and quiet room. My room... More

“Closest accommodation to Centennial Parklands”

Reviewed 23 March 2013

Visited website and thought 'Queen Victorian' room looked perfect. Booked direct. Perfect location as we wanted to be easy walking distance from Centennial Parklands. Images on website should be viewed as 'generic' rather than 'specific'. Room we were given at first (no 9) was classed as 'queen' because it had a queen size bed...it certainly was NOT spacious, and we... More

Dear 17TasTraveller, Thank you for your review of our hotel. The Hughenden is a boutique hotel within a heritage style building, and as such, all of the rooms are unique with different features, layouts and furnishings - some with courtyards, some with different sized bathrooms, and so on. The rooms range from cosy to very large, and given your feedback,... More

“Potentially great when renovations are complete”

Reviewed 20 March 2013

We arrived just as renovations had started and they are sorely needed as the lovely Hughenden is looking a bit tired and in need of an upgrade. We were told it should all be finished in a few months but that may be optimistic. We didn't have a car but the location at the top end of Queen Street is... More

Hi Sue L, Thank you for reviewing our property. The first phase of our room renovations are 90% complete and are due to reopen within the first week of April. Our restaurant renovations are due to be completed mid-April however the opening date of the actual restaurant is dependent on our restaurant partner, rest assured this is not too far... More

“When ‘vintage’ turns into shabbiness”

Reviewed 19 March 2013

I have stayed at The Hughenden before, about twelve years ago. I liked it then. We were given a beautiful room with a four poster bed on the first floor of the main house. The host and owner, a writer I understand, was taking care of the guests, organising drinks and gatherings in the evening introducing new books, and generally... More

Hi Baastje, Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you did not have the same experience at The Hughenden as you did 12 years ago. While we are still a family owned business, run by the same family 12 years ago, we still do host art and literature events. In the past 6 months we have had multiple... More

“Not what was expected.”

Reviewed 5 March 2013

We stayed at the Hughendon over the Mardi Gras weekend. It was within walking distance to the parade and the after party. Sydney harbour bridge, Darling Harbour, China Town and the markets are a small hike, but we did not mind this. As mentioned in the title, the Hughendon was not what we expected. Firstly we booked and were charged... More

Hi Mingeral, Thank you for taking the time to review our property.

“Average experience.”

Reviewed 23 February 2013

I came down to Sydney for a weekend getaway with my partner and to conduct some business back in late July last year. The first room I was presented with was a horrible, tiny and dingy below basic room above the car park, which was by no means fit for a romantic weekend. It looked nothing like any of the... More
