Nothing fancy but BEST budget place to stay in Sydney

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Sept 2018via mobile
Always stay in this place when i come to Sydney. This building was built more than 100 years ago, room with high ceiling and old furnitures but all well maintained. Clean budget room, all rooms have private bathroom, good price comparing all hostels nearby, every room seperated with thick wall but it could be noisy sometimes from the pub downstair and loud talking of people on the street. Nothing fancy but has kettle, refridge, hair dryer, tv, strong shower, very good location in Sydney's famous surburb "king cross" known as red light district, only 15-20min walking to CBD and train station within 100 meters away. No elevator, no wifi, no reception at all times but easy check-in at the pub downstair, 2-3 times a week for cleaning service.

If u look for a budget stay then i would recommend to stay here than in hostels!!!

Reviewed 24 August 2018

It was perfect for what I needed, a bed for one night in central Sydney. I literally checked in and crashed out, woke up the next morning and left. At the ground floor is the famous O'Malley's Bar, it was full on Saturday night and people were having a good time. I was shown my room upstairs and tidied up and went straight to sleep. I didn't hear a thing, nor the music from the bar below the place is fairly well insulated for noise from the Bar. For what I needed, it was perfect. The room on the second level was large and clean, had a television and a good shower. I slept through the night, got up early the next morning and tried to leaf. There was no one around, the whole place was closed up. So you have to let yourself out and leave the key in a handy spot. Overall it was ok for what I needed.

Did not go to the hotel - only the pub

That's a really friendly experience . This was open mic night and the singing was good and fun.

Drinks were cheap. Crowd was a mix of old and young . Not much more to ask.

Recommended if you want a non sleazy drink near the cross .

I stayed there few nights and I can say that it was really nice.

I didn't have big expectations since it's just above an Irish pub.
But I was really surprised to see that it's much better quality than most of the hostel and way cheaper than any hotel in the area.

I am going to go back soon.

Thanks all of you guys for the nice time over there.
