We adored the Hughenden. Especially Sebastian the Moodle who virtually had the run of the hotel, including his private courtyard! Everyone was fabulous! It's a wonderful Sydney find in a great location.

We adored the Hughenden. Especially Sebastian the Moodle who virtually had the run of the hotel, including his private courtyard! Everyone was fabulous! It's a wonderful Sydney find in a great location.
This is a odd hotel to review, its a old quirky property unlike all the hotels we have stayed in while visiting Australia. room 25 had two windows one with obscured glass and the other with a view of a gable and car park. the room was very cold but the aircon would heat up the room plus a small heater was supplied, the bathroom was so cold we never used the shower. Im used to old floor boards that creek but room 25 was bad, I felt bad for the guests below us, this could and should be easily sorted.
On the plus side the staff are fantastic the room was spotless, good location for Sidney stadium or cricket and a walk to Bondi beach.
Sebastian the Moodle and we had a fabulous stay at The Hughenden Hotel. It’s olde world charm reminded us of a London hotel. It was cosy, hospitable and is located in Woollahra which is a fabulous suburb of Sydney close to everything you need or want to experience in the harbour city.
Sebastian immediately felt at home. He adored running up and down the stairs, sitting in the bar or relaxing in the café. He particularly loved his own private garden which meant he didn’t have too far to go to ‘spend a penny’.
We will definitely stay again on our next road trip. Deb and Sebastian from Melbourne.
Minimal parking so make sure you book a place. We had a 'cosy' room, but it was okay. it also had a balcony, which made it seem bigger. The room was clean and well presented. Good to have a ceiling fan. Staff were friendly, at reception and in the café. The included ($10) breakfast was good, they make a n excellent pot of tea. Very quirky place, opposite Centennial park. Perfectly situated for Allianz Stadium which was a 10 minute walk approx. We were there for the World Rugby 7's. Plenty of buses about if you want to explore.......one bus to Circular Quay.
Looked great in photos but pretty poor in person. Arrived 6pm and nobody on duty. Received email with info on room and key which was fine. There was no elevator and nobody around to help with bags. Had an awful time lugging our large bags from our 3 week trip up the stairs.
Bathroom had the tiniest sink I’ve seen. Like prison cell size. And it leaked.
Would not stay here again.
This hotel has old world character and charm. The room we were in had high ceilings with a moderate amount of room. The bathroom was very small and narrow. The bed was super comfortable. They have a small cafe at the front of the hotel and the coffee was decent. It is easy walking to the Main Street and across the road are the Paddington gates to Centennial Park.
