The location was excellent. All the plants and art in the common area was cool. The room was interesting, but the room wasn’t set up that well for twin beds, but was ok. Bathroom smelled like bleach, but it was very clean. Liked the free drinks, apples and little bags of chips in the arvo. Would have appreciated the tea and milk being replaced in the room after we used them though. Still recommended though.

I couldn't fault The Urban! Communication and friendliness from the staff and management to being dog friendly and having a quaint yet modern and clean room ticked all the boxes. Highly recommend.

If you’re not familiar with parking a car in this area of Sydney it comes as a shock to discover how difficult it is.. The hotel apparently offers some parking but you have to book it at the time of making the hotel reservation and no one informs you of this.

Check-in was really straightforward. We came an hour before check-in time, and our room was ready. The property was clean and tidy, and the people on site were very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.

The location is excellent. A dining mecca. Every type of cuisine is available in the vicinity. Convenient to the light rail system. I never felt unsafe in the area. My room was tight. No in hotel amenities. No restaurant or bar, gym or pool, but you have the chains for that. Not the most expensive option either.

Great location but noisy
Perfect location to attend shows at the Enmore Theatre and cool hotel décor. Lots of food and drink options very close by. Two downsides were the shower with loud high pitched noises from the taps and the fact the room was not soundproof so sleep was disrupted (including constantly hearing housekeeping outside the room in the morning).
