Sydney Hotels with balcony

"I stayed at The Jensens and while the location is undeniably ideal, close to everything you need and in a vibrant, convenient area, the stay was let down by a major issue. The soundproofing isn’t great, with doors frequently slamming throughout the property. However, given that it’s a hostel-style accommodation, this was something we were able to accept and move past. What wasn’t acceptable, though, was the presence of rats in the walls and ceiling above our room. We were woken multiple times each night by loud scratching and scurrying noises, which was extremely unsettling and made it very difficult to sleep. We also have audio recordings that clearly capture the extent of the problem. It’s a real shame, as the location is fantastic, but this issue seriously impacted our stay. I would strongly recommend that management address the pest problem as a priority."

"Pros- room was clean as it should be. And hotel is close enough to the city. Room had a power socket next to the bed which was good, as some hotels dont. Cons- Booked here as it was close to city and it said 'parking available' but only after booking I saw in the fine print that they will charge $50 for 1 night of parking and i couldnt cancel as i would have been charged. Their wifi was not working so I called them and they said something like they can look into it tomorrow which was no use for me as I was there 1 night. 1 of the power sockets next to the bed was not working. They take a $200 deposit/bond on top of the booking cost which they give back in a week, but if things like their wifi or power socket doesnt work, shouldnt they be giving you a partial refund of the booking as the room is not 100%??"

"Taking a ride-sharing service from the airport to the hotel cost AU$30, which was very convenient, and the journey took about 35 minutes. The hotel is located right off the main street, so it's very quiet at night. There's a police station just one street over, which made me feel safe. Room service only replaced some towels, yellow coffee capsules, and other amenities; there was no actual cleaning. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, and slippers are not provided in the room, so please bring your own."
