Royal Exhibition Hotel

Beautiful comfy bed Super clean great reception 5 stars

Liked that it was very close to Central ststion and only a short walk away. Didn't like that there were no teaspoons in the room to go with the teamaking items. Not even any wooden ones.

I was so worried when booking the hotel, but I needed one close to Central Station. The outside looks so old, but I didn't have a choice. However, when I walked into the room, I was shocked by how perfect the renovation is and how clean it is — it looks like a 5-star hotel from the inside. Don't let the whole building scare you; the room is amazing!! The price is so reasonable, but the reception needs to give clearer guidance, like telling people where to check in, that would be better. We will definitely book again if we visit Sydney!

The room was bigger and nicer than I expected. It was right in front of the station exit, which was convenient for sightseeing. I got a little lost because I couldn’t find the check-in entrance. Since it’s located right next to the tram tracks, there was a bit of rumbling, but it was good that earplugs were provided (though I slept soundly even without them). I’d love to stay here again if I get the chance, and I’d definitely recommend it to my friends. Thank you very much!

The bed was very very comfortable and the new bathroom was beautiful and a great shower.

Room was clean and staff were very helpful

Well located, light rail at the doorstep. Good food. Great staff

Location was great for our visit. Easy access to public transport and close to cafes and hotels.

Tastefully newly renovated rooms in a classic city hotel. We enjoyed our stay completely. A good lunch and dinner meun as well as a well appointed and comfortable bar and rooftop bar. We will return

Fantastic location for central Sydney! Quiet and clean bedrooms, and super-comfortable mattresses and nice bedding. Everything you need supplied.

Have stayed at the Royal Exhibition Hotel in Sydney many times. It suits me perfectly. Good staff excellent management.

From the outside you wouldn’t rate this place but inside the room you feel like you’re in a luxurious hotel. The room was beautifully renovated, good shower pressure, sensational mattress. Staff were lovely, location was brilliant. Amenities such as earplugs and water were appreciated. You could hear the trams at night and the renovations in the hotel but that’s what earplugs for. Overall would stay again!

Cannot be worse. The hotel is quite old and the taps won't close properly while the shower head keep falling down. That's still ok given the hotel is in a good location and the price charged isn't too bad. The worst part is that the hotel started doing renovation work with power drilling and hammering at 4am!! Spoken to the workers along with guest from another room and asked them to stop working. The answer we received was "the hotel should have told you". Power drilling stopped for a while and hammering continued. Went down to speak to the workers again with another room's furious guests. This time we told them that it is illegal to work with noise at these hours and I was calling the police to report this. Then they finally stopped at 4:40am. Only to start again at 7am!! At checkout when I complained to the front desk the staff said "why are you being mad at me? I only work here. You should speak to management." When asking where management is, the answer was he's here somewhere. And nowhere to be found!! Worst ever experience with a hotel.

Comfortable room in a great location however very noisy in the early morning

Centrally located and access to restaurants, transport and shops. Overall was very satisfied with the stay.

Extremely close to Central Station, lovely large room, recently renovated and very clean.

Construction work commenced at 6.15am within the establishment waking us up. I noticed when we arrived that renovations were underway on the ground floor but didn’t expect the rude awakening at 6.15am with loud voices, hammering, power tools etc, extremely loud.

Check-in and check-out was seamless (my first time checking in at a bar) and the staff were all wonderful. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and bathroom spotless. There are earplugs available to drown out the street noise. Getting to and from the airport is also seamless as the station entrance is across the road… we got to the airport in 15mins from leaving the hotel!

Welcoming staff and very high-quality compared to most pub accommodation in Sydney.

It was above a hotel with trams running beside the Hotel. But we didn't hear any noise at all.
