The customer service was excellent with friendly happy staff to welcome us . Room was lovely and clean . Bed was super comfortable . We were upgraded on arrival for some reason with no extra cost . So close to Central, Darling Harbour China town and everything else in the centre of Sydney .. fantastic food on your doorstep. Great old building made modern and super comfortable .

Service upon departure was non- existent. No provision in the accesble bathroom to clean up water due to wet room layout, the accessable shower (closest to the windows didnt supply hot water for some reason) Stayed here many times over the past 10 years, and this is the first time that we have been disappointed.

Overall, a pleasant place to stay: helpful and obliging staff, both reception and cleaning. Had to ask for bowls and spoons so we could have our muesli for breakfast; didn’t want to buy breakfast as well as lunch and dinner for 9 days! Maintenance issues (television and bath tap) attended to promptly. Renovation noise didn’t bother us; we were out and about most of the time. Thank you Des and Sue

I got into The Ultimo at the last minute because I'd messed up my booking at another property. The check-in staff were very friendly and efficient. The only downside is that the lifts aren't available for a few months while major renovations are being done but staff carry bags up/down stairs to rooms. My room was very clean with a comfy bed (std queen). I particularly appreciated the separation of the shower from the rest of the bathroom, and the very comfortable chair with a small coffee table. There are many restaurants around the Ultimo, and there's a large Woolies Metro Express on the next corner. It's only a 5 minute walk from Sydney Central station. I'll definitely use the Ultimo as my Sydney hotel when the lifts are working again.

The staffs were nice and helpful. Elevator was out of service but the staffs offered to carry my luggage up and down the stairs which were very helpful. The building was built in 1911 which I experienced the table lamps on both right and left went off and back on few times . I checked the light bulbs and electrical outlets seem fine. Hopefully it wasn’t a haunted building as my friends tried to scare or tease me. Lol Otherwise the great convenient location had me extended my stay for 2 more nights.

Great little spot in the centre of Haymarket. Extremely convenient to get places, and a very reasonable price too! Staff were brilliant. My only mild gripe was the noise from inside the building, I think it needs a wee bit more soundproofing.

Great Chinatown hotel, directly opposite Paddy’s Market. Rooms have been nicely renovated and well sound proofed. Value for money. In-house laundry is convenient and reasonably priced at $6 to wash and dry a load. Staff are friendly and helpful. Many dining and shopping options nearby and two supermarkets near the hotel. Easy transport options to get around Sydney and only 5 minutes walk to Central Station. Facilities rating is lower as the elevator was out of service for some time, due to it being replaced. Only suggestion would be that a microwave in the room, or a shared common microwave would be useful.
