Best Paddington Hotels

OH! Firstly it is important to note that we chose Oxford House because of its close proximity to St Vincent Hospital. We would normally chose a large chain hotel with the added comforts because, well, who doesn’t like the nicer things when they travel. Oxford house is definitely not your average hotel. Its boutique, artsy, personal feel is felt throughout the entire property. From the second you enter Oxford House, no matter who is at the reception desk, you can guarantee your greeting will be warm and welcoming from the very first encounter. Any interaction with staff thereafter is as warm, friendly and genuinely caring. I read reviews (as you do) prior to our stay and a lot referred to the level of customer service. I, personally like nice linen, a comfortable bed, a good pillow, a pool, view. You know, that sort of thing. Oxford House ticked all my boxes above but it also ticked a box that wasn’t super important prior to this stay. It’s all about the customer service. We loved all the staff but our absolute favourite ladies were Carla and Alisha. Nothing was an effort for Carla and let me tell you, she’s got the skills to get things done. Our trip was complicated with hospital trips several times a day and we were filled with emotion and exhausted . Walking back through those doors of an evening, almost felt like home. Carla was particularly lovely and my 10 year old daughter adored her. By the time we left I felt like I had made a friend. Hotel was wonderful but Carla brought it up that extra level.

We had a wonderful stay at Mrs Banks Hotel in Sydney. Perfectly situated in Paddington with great shops, cafes and restaurants all within walking distance. The rooms were not large but stylishly decorated, comfortable and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful with everything. So happy we found this little gem!

Encreadibly small room. Insanely overpriced. Very shabby, in this case 'historic ' means ' desperately needs renovation'. The bathroom is the size of the pencil case, have to get out of it into the room to be able to open the shower door. The outside area is dirty, surrounded by the concrete walls and overgrown bushes. The place was riddled with mosquitoes, ants and flies. The worst of all that you can't trust them with your credit card. They charged us $25 dollars for water AND cleaning? No invoice or email or any communications at all ! Just took it off our card. And then made TWO MORE WITHDRAWALS without notification. Sent us an invoice post-factum after being confronted over the phone. The tone of email was very rude, no formal address or apologies or explanations or itemised cleaning services we are being charged for. RUDE, DECEITFUL, DIRTY NOT WORTHY OF ANOTHER CHANCE. BE AWARE!!!

Excellent option to stay in Sydney, great value for price, great location, confortable rooms, good facilities and very friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Extremely clean. We enjoyed a lot the pub downstairs, we were in second floor and we heard no noise.

Ideal for business and sightseeing alone. The comfort was very comfortable. The hotel staff is nice.

Very clean room with a big kingsize bed for me one tourist to sleep on is such a comfort in Sydney. Love the tv and tv programs especially project on Channel 10. The french lady in the office is helpful and will assist you in everything and the cleaners are also friendly to talk to. Overall i like the place and is 10 mins to Kingscross station and just 15 mins walk to Royal Botanic Garden Thank you Bayswater Boutique Lodge. #BayswaterBoutiqueLodge #Sydney #Hotels #Hotel #Australia
