Nice stay and I think it's a bit pocket friendly in a city like Sydney

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Apr 2013
I stayed there with my wife during her visit to sydney. It's a very nice and well maintained place. It's less than 15 mins to city. The rooms are small but you have all untensils you need for regular cooking. Couple of Indian shops and restaurant near by and it's a very nice place. Only thing is it's a official zone so there will no body after 6.30 Max. But if your budget is less and you want your money to spend roaming in sydney rather than sleeping in big room then it's the place you will surely love. Some rooms have a very nice view of City . you will love it.
Date of stay: November 2012
Room Tip: Just ask for a room with a nice view of the city. good luck :-)

It was a good experience staying at St.Leonards Mansion for a week. Place is very calm and quiet with lovely parrots all around as a whole it is nice relaxing place. Near to railway station also. A very sweet couple owing the mansion are very helpful and descent. Everything cannot be so perfect with little drawbacks.... Rooms are bit small sometimes can see cockroaches too but still manageable. Garden space was not clean need to be maintained properly. In spite of these small drawbacks in short i would suggest that it is a nice and worthy place to stay.

My husband and I really enjoyed our 7 night stay at St Leonards Mansions. We flew in late, but everything was arranged to accommodate us.

This hotel is good value for money. As always, there are some tradeoffs -- but what do you expect? The rooms are a bit small and dated. But it was clean with a decent bed. There is also a mini fridge, ac and coffee set up.

The train station is very close by and the location even makes it possible to explore Sydney. All in all, a great little place.

St Leonards Mansions comprises unconnected adjacent properties. Our assigned room was dingy, dirty and infested with cockroaches. The premises had no dining room, instead providing a breakfast tray (arriving the day before it's intended consumption), comprising 2 slices of bread, a mini cereal packet, fruit juice, a mini butter pat, mini conserve packs and a small milk carton. This all placed on the only surface in the room that was available to eat from - a small table around 75cm square. Needless to say the cockroaches had a field day!

Crockery and cutlery was provided on dirty open shelves - all had to be washed prior to use and a live cockroach was found in the cutlery container. a small sink was provided and a two burner gas hob, the instructions for which had been worn away so that it was impossible to read. Needless to say this was also dirty. A toaster and kettle were provided, with space to use only one appliance at a time, unless they were placed on the gas hob. A microwave oven was provided and such was the shortage of space and electrical outlets that it was located on a bedside table, with the bedside lamp on top of it. Two carving knives were also located in the chest of drawers.

The furniture was old and shabby, and as dirty as the rest of the room. There were burn marks on the carpet and the curtains were stained and dirty. The ensuite shower room was tiny, but usable. Bed linen, though clean, was all mismatched.

St_Leonards_Mansions, Manager at St. Leonards Mansions, responded to this reviewResponded 9 February 2013

Dear guest,

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. We are disappointed that you did not have a pleasant stay at St Leonards Mansions.

We do take our housekeeping very seriously and service the rooms regularly. If you had informed us you had an issue with the cleaning we would have gladly shown you another room. We want all our guests to be happy.

I know we cannot be perfect to every person and I understand that some people have different expectations of a hotel room. We may not be able to offer the upscale facilities of a 5 star hotel nor do we charge those rates. Our rates are very affordable and great value for Sydney.

Kind regards,
Mike

We stayed at the Mansions in the first week of December and we can't recommend it highly enough. We didn't arrive until 11pm on the Saturday night but there was no hassle checking in or anything. The room was a standard double, it was just what we needed after a long flight and for our 12 days in Sydney.

The room had foxtel and the boys who showed us to our room gave us a quick run through of how it all worked and left us to our own devices. The room itself was a really good size, more than enough space for the two of us and great value.

The location is great, Sydney is quite an accessible city anyway but the Mansions is only a five minute walk from St Leonards station which is roughly 10 mins into the city and all the tourist hot spots.

A nice touch is the bird table to the side of the house which has a range of parrots and other birds throughout the day.

I would definitely stay here again if we come back to Sydney.
