The hotel itself was very nice, clean, and comfortably furnished. I elected to stay a Friday night in the cbd as I had a scheduled event early in the morning the next day and didn't wish to travel in from home on the day. Our room was on the second floor and was unfortunately directly over top of a bar which was blasting its music loudly until at least 1am. This is no fault of the hotel, but it makes it very hard to enjoy your stay and feel fresh for the event the next morning.

Early Arrival & the 5 Star Service begun 👏👏👏

To be greeted by Duty Manager Thomas at 08:30 with a welcoming smile was just what we needed after a long flight, not expecting to check in but Thomas apologised not being able to to check us in due to a Full House the previous night which we totally understandable Thomas kindly offered to look after are luggage after we had a rest in the lounge area & to stay as long as was need When we were returned later in the day again a warm greeting from Team members Will & PuPut Was impressed with Alex Kiwi Mereana Finally thanks to the Breakfast Crew We would have no hesitation in recommending The Capitol & look forward to retuning on our next visit to Sydney Location, Quietness Safety also help to give it 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ +

Such a perfect spot if seeing a show and traveling a long way from home! We were concerned we wouldn’t get parking but managed to get a spot. The security was good being in such a busy spot in the city, I felt safe. The Hotels aesthetic is gorgeous, moody and dramatic - perfect for next to the theatre.

Well situated just a stones throw from the Capitol Theatre which is the reason for choosing this place. Room is small but has all you need for a Short stay. Breakfast was included in our stay but lacked consideration for any plant based or dairy free guests. Otherwise it was a fuss-free stay

Great hotel in a fantastic location

Fantastic boutique hotel located very centrally in Haymarket close to both the the L1 and L2/L3 tram lines, walking distance from Sydney Central Station, next to the Capitol Theatre, and with easy access to all sorts of things to see and do. Service was top notch from all the staff I met, they were happy to receive a couple of packages for me to enable some travel convenience.
