We really enjoyed our stay, the beds were super comfortable, the staff were wonderful, and the room service and breakfast options were delicious. There was only 1 thing that I would complain about - We tried to order from the "Sleepwalker" late night room service menu, which is stated to be available from 10pm to 6am, but it didnt seem to be available at all, which was dissapointing when we returned hungry from our night out at 2am. Otherwise everything was great and we will definitely stay here again !

The executive room was comfortable overall, though it could benefit from some updates. The bathroom felt quite small compared to the rest of the space, which made getting in and out of the bathtub a bit tricky. A refurbishment or layout adjustment could really improve the experience.

I recently stayed at Sydney Central Hotel and overall had a very good experience but with one noticeable downside that left me a bit disappointed. First, the positives: the location is absolutely fantastic. It’s right in a convenient spot that makes it easy to get around the city and I really appreciated how close everything was. The room itself was clean, tidy, and very comfortable. My favourite thing about the stay by far was the bed – it was absolutely massive and incredibly comfortable. After a long day of walking around and exploring Sydney, it was exactly what I wanted to come back to. Honestly, one of the best hotel beds I’ve slept in. However, what really let the experience down for me was the TV. At the end of the day, I was so ready to curl up in that amazing bed and watch a movie but the TV was extremely basic. It wasn’t a smart TV, so I couldn’t log into any streaming services and the only channels available were the bare minimum. There wasn’t even a movie channel. In this day and age, I think it’s a pretty reasonable expectation for hotels, especially ones at this price point, to at least have smart TVs or provide a few decent entertainment options. To give some context, the night before I stayed at a much more basic budget hotel in Melbourne that cost less, and even they had a proper smart TV. So it was quite frustrating to feel like I had “downgraded” in that sense while paying more. Other than this a great hotel and staff. The other facilities were great too!

My stay was incredible! I had one super small question regarding my reservation detail and they helped me so quickly. Not only that, but when I got back to my room at the end of the day there was a fresh cheese and fruit plate and a hand written note- completely above and beyond and truly appreciated!
