Encreadibly small room. Insanely overpriced. Very shabby, in this case 'historic ' means ' desperately needs renovation'. The bathroom is the size of the pencil case, have to get out of it into the room to be able to open the shower door. The outside area is dirty, surrounded by the concrete walls and overgrown bushes. The place was riddled with mosquitoes, ants and flies. The worst of all that you can't trust them with your credit card. They charged us $25 dollars for water AND cleaning? No invoice or email or any communications at all ! Just took it off our card. And then made TWO MORE WITHDRAWALS without notification. Sent us an invoice post-factum after being confronted over the phone. The tone of email was very rude, no formal address or apologies or explanations or itemised cleaning services we are being charged for. RUDE, DECEITFUL, DIRTY NOT WORTHY OF ANOTHER CHANCE. BE AWARE!!!

We have stayed here on several occasions and each time we have been impressed with the attention and friendliness of this smaller boutique hotel. The staff are very obliging in accommodating our needs. We love the breakfast (included).

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.
