“Very Unclean”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2007
3
people found this review helpful

My room (which was on the ground floor) hadn't seen a vacum cleaner or a duster in a very long time. There were crumbs and other odds and sods all over the room of the floor.The furniture was tatty and old. I was able to write my name in the thick dust which was everywhere.
The shared bathroom (which you also share with the other guests and family who live there) was dirty. I had to clean the dried-in urine off the toilet seat and remove the thick hairs from the sink.
One thing to note is that the guesthouse has a cat. This was not mentioned at the time of booking.
The family's living area is very modern. It's a shame that the guest accommodation has been left in a run-down condition.
Spend a bit more cash and go elsewhere.

  • Liked — It was close to public transport.
  • Disliked — It was dirty.

Ian Collie, Owner/Manager at Australia Street Guest House, responded to this review
25 April 2010
We were away for the weekend that this person stayed at our guest house. We told her that there would be no one to tidy up the room or the house generally so its a little unfair to them complain about uncleanliness when the guest was made aware up front. This is the only negative review that we are aware in the 10 years of operating our guest house.

“Fantastic place for first few days in Sydney”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2006

people found this review helpful

This place was fantastic! Such nice friendly people with great rooms, a real home from home. Very relaxed outlook and close to shops/food/pubs etc. Minutes from centre via trains. We came here for our first week before finding a flat for our work abroad year, would recomened any couple doing the same to consider here. Really nice area with plenty of cheap options if needed.
