Veriu Green Square Hotel for my three week stay was absolutely amazing. I was looked after so well by: Timo, Jo, Chelsea, Indre, Heidi and also the reception team, housekeeping team and the maintenance team. I appreciated the fun, fabulous and friendly atmosphere. The bedroom (Room 621) was wonderful, as were all the amenities (such as the laundry room on the first floor). Every single member of staff made me feel so welcome and special, especially with it being my first ever trip to Australia (from London). I would highly recommend this delightful hotel to my family, friends, networks and contacts. I have just booked another long stay for Sydney Mardi Gras 2024 and looking forward to it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please keep up the superb work at the Veriu Green Square Hotel in Sydney.

I stayed for 4 nights here, but I don’t get any bed making or cleaning the room, Only get new towel and change the bin bag, For Shampoo and Shower gel or tissue paper ,dish washer liquid, I need to ask from reservation desk by myself, i don’t know it’s normal here or the cleaning staff lady is very lazy or ignore it. I hear the siren sound all night, the soundproofing is poor. I suggest to use earplugs when you sleep, The good point of this hotel is location which is next to metro. And the reception staff is helpful.

We stayed 20 nights in April 2022 and Skye Suites Green Square is hands down the best lodging choice I have made in Sydney in the past 15 years. My general criteria for any room is that it is quiet, can be suitably darkened at night for sleep and that the bed be comfortable. It excelled in all three elements. Further positives included a front desk that was unfailingly pleasant and responsive to requests, and available at all times. Every major box was ticked. Some general comments about the room that may be helpful to others: the bathroom lighting in really inadequate for everything except general hygiene (my wife was unable to use the bathroom to put on makeup or do her hair); the TV station choices were limited and the sound didn't work on several of them; furniture for sitting was at best comfortable for only short periods; the laundry in the room was excellent and detergent was supplied but the dishwasher was rarely used as it worked poorly; there is a light on the balcony that can be turned on and off; umbrellas were available at the front desk; there are USB ports beside the bed; the wi-fi was excellent. Some general location comments that may prove helpful to others: the location is right at the Green Square Metro station and can be accessed within minutes; there were several excellent restaurant choices within a few minutes walk; there were a couple of fast food choices close by; there was a well stocked Woolworth's Metro grocery store across the street; at the time of writing the fare for a taxi to Sydney airport was less than the train fare with airport access fees for 2 people ($30AUD) so we used a taxi - not sure about taxi fares from the airport as we took a shuttle.

Everything was great, the lady who checked me in was very efficient. The only thing was there wasn't any coffee in the the room but thats ok. Parking isn't guarranteed, which could be a worry. You could check in, then go out on business then come back in the evening and not have a parking spot if the hotel was full, even though you pay up front in advance. That could be annoying at the end of a long day. But otherwise all was good and will stay again.

Only gave 1 star due to not being able to give 0. Black mold over entire bathroom. Not a single tiled surface was mold free. Cockroaches crawling in at night under the doors. The vent of the air con unit was covered in dust and more black mold. Not that the air con unit worked anyway. We stayed middle of winter so lucky for us all the sheets including pillows were made entirely of plastic (natural fibres would have left us freezing). Staff were only there probably to clean and that's it, because we never saw them. Ever! We tried to check in 20 minutes early and the lady claimed ”there is no luggage storage”. Lo and behold, when we were finally checked in there is a massive painted sign saying ”luggage storage”. Also, the room wasn't ready even by 2PM, the stated check-in time. We saw one gentleman traveller waiting outside to check in at 7PM in the freezing cold for God knows how long he sat there, but we were unable to let him in due to signage explicitly stating that letting in people would lead to non-refundable expulsion. Also, the doors only open with an App, so if your phone does good luck getting in. Honestly, if my phone died, I would have called the cops and had them find a way to let us in with the non-existent staff. Cleaning lady was so lovely. Reception lady was horrible. Kitchen had a faulty stove that was always firing. This is probably not advisable, as a simple gas leak could mean this misfiring burner will blow the place up - if only that would happen (with no-one staying there), because that is the only way this place is going to get better (a complete rebuild). Kitchen was filthy, with no cups to be seen anywhere. I probably wouldn't have used them anyway. Why the heck is there a massive tarp covering the balcony? Did this place semi-burn down??? Also would like to state that the photos provided are most likely from the Glebe location that they also own. The photos looked simple, which is what I wanted. Simple, not freaking disgusting. I have stayed in backpackers in Africa that are legitimately better than this hell-hole. Might I add that one of those places included a room with no glass in the window, and I found that place better than The Village!!!! I have copied this review in case it is ”magically” lost. I will be posting it elsewhere.

A friend and I stayed here for three nights and were extremely happy with the entire experience. We arrived early in the morning, with a few hours until our room was available for check in, however the staff were friendly and accommodating and allowed us to store our bags in their back room until our room was available. The room itself was simple and clean, with a small balcony access. We were seeking a stay on a tight budget, and as such we weren’t looking for a luxury hotel, so the room perfectly met our expectations. We had a twin room, with very comfortable beds and enough space for two people. If you are looking for a full hotel stay with all the bells and whistles, this isn’t the place for you, but if you are just after a comfortable, well located place to sleep, then Hacienda ticks all the boxes. It is located between a busy street and a rail line, but the rooms are well sound proofed and noise is not really an issue. On our last day, our departing flight wasn’t until late in the evening, but the staff were once again extremely accommodating and allowed us to again store our bags after checking out so that we didn’t have to lug them around for the day. Would 100% stay here again next time I’m in town, and would recommend to anyone who is in the market for a budget-friendly stay with lovely staff

Noisy, plain, and tired. Luxury? I've found more luxury in rural South Australia than here. Firstly my room was noisy - Really noisy - mainly from car noise from the Eastern Distributor which runs right in front of it. Clearly this is a known issue as they provide earplugs with a little apology (see pic). The fittings are old, the light switches, the bedside clock / radio. There is not a single USB charging port anywhere that I could find. There was a random cheap Bunnings power board hanging out underneath the bedside table. The shower head was loose and sprayed water everywhere while having a shower. I asked for it to be fixed, which it was by the time I returned, but do you think they replaced the saturated bath matt which I had to use to mop up the water? No, of course they didnt. Older people, be warned. The shampoo/conditioner provided have such fine writing that anyone needing more than +1 reading glasses need to find them to figure out which is which- ideally before stepping in the shower. And then need to find them again to figure out how to peel off the completely unnecessary silver seal ... The bed barley fitted between the wall and it was a squeeze to get in the LHS. No late night food nor drink options in or near the hotel. There are a few breakfast options. Probably my own fault for not checking that out.

Very close to Sydney University, convenient transportation and shopping, the hotel facilities are complete (with dryer/washing machine), clean, and there is cleaning service every day. We stayed for 9 days and were very comfortable and satisfied

The front desk is very welcoming and basically perfect, but because it is an apartment hotel, there is a party upstairs one night during my stay. Although the hotel has a notice and informs that a party cannot be opened at check-in, because the front desk is not 24h operating, so this can not be avoided. It's all about self-consciousness.
