The Occidental Hotel

We came and booked for 3 adults for the room. However, on arrival, we only received 2 towels and 2 sets of soap and shampoo, which I had to asked the extra based on my booking. Then for our 8 days of stay, our towels were only exchanged for some of the days, whereas our bed sheets were changed around our day 6 of our stay. In addition, our room were very dimly lit so those that want to have proper make-up in the room would have to use extra lights or the bathroom, and the mirror at the sink is pretty high up for those that are 5"9 below so it was hard for them to view themselves through that mirror. It was a great location to stay at, everything in CBD is very close by (public transportation, shops, etc). Our room was given no fans but it had a newer Air Conditioner installed so it was functional for heating or cooling as needed. The roads does get a bit loud late at night but I've prepared myself to be either super tired at night or use noise cancelling headphones to have a proper sleep. Overall, it was as expected for the price it was charging.

It was nothing fancy, just a convenient, clean & cheap room for the night

Great for the price. Read description to be sure its what youre looking for. Located next to everything.

Cheap nice rooms clean and good meals

Staff was great for checking in and helpful with the whole process. Shared bathroom was very clean & tidy.

It's excellent value for money. The rooms are comfortable and clean and Wynyard Station is a block away, meaning you can roll out of bed and jump on the train to wherever you want to go. Would definitely stay there again.

It was a community style bathroom that was unexpected. It was all clean enough and we never had trouble accessing toilets or showers when we needed them. Our room was a little too small for all the furniture they had in there. You could only open the fridge part way as it hit the bed. It was tight to maneuver around each other and the furniture. Still the amenities were nice to have. We were able to store our luggage there after check out while we waited for our flights the last day. That was very helpful. The staff were helpful and friendly enough, though not easily gotten hold of. The price was very great. We would consider staying again. We loved the area. It was easy access to loads of everything.

Convenient

This hotel is ideally situated for my occasional visits to Sydney. It is a true budget hotel, pretty basic and shared bathrooms, toilets etc. I only need a bed for the night and a base camp for my luggage on my visits to Sydney and the price is right for my needs. One of the last true bargain hotel deals left in Sydney. Ideal for the older travellers who are not keen on backpacker lodgings. It's nice to have a fully functional old style Sydney pub downstairs as well.

Great location right in the centre of the city walking distance to all the sites including, Sydney harbour Bridge, opera house and Darling Harbour. Just remember this is an old budget hotel so don’t expect modern facilities.

The bed was ok

Great stay

An old building that needs updating, room was a good size but again needs updating, there was hot water but it takes at least 10 mins to come through this was explained to us as low water pressure, an inconvenience but not a problem, the bar was its saving grace, very good beers and food

It's cheap, clean, relatively quiet and staff always helpful. Shared bathrooms very rarely saw anyone else. Place is old but clean.

Did what it said cheap and cheerful accommodation when just want get your head down

Exactly what they advertised, clean, local and a bit noisy. Would stay again!

I liked how convenient it was to public transport and city center. Hotel is inside/on top of a noisy pub and place feels old and worn down. A place to sleep and clean sheets at a cheap rate.

Gooe

Great value in a perfect location for a walkable Sydney. Stayed with family of 4, 2 teen boys. Very clean. Staff were very polite but only present and available at limited times. Only real complaint was the window did not block noise from the street at all and the boys had trouble sleeping.

Unique original historic property.
