"I only ever stay at the Kirketon when I need a hotel in Darlinghurst. Great location close to all transport. As it’s in Darlinghurst there’s plenty of food options to choose from.
Rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet.
I always ask for a bathtub in the bathroom as not all bathrooms have one. Staff are always very friendly and ready to help with anything."
"I moved back to Sydney and needed accommodation until I moved into my new apartment and this place was perfect! Sam was incredibly welcoming, the room and bathroom was really clean, and the location was perfect to get into the city and other surrounding areas."
"It was wonderful!
[Overall]
Even though I was traveling alone, I was assigned a rather spacious room and had a very comfortable stay. Despite my limited English, the staff were considerate and supportive. The bathroom facilities were also very clean and comfortable.
[Points to Note]
- The shower is 'waterfall-style' only (meaning it's a fixed overhead shower).
- You need to be careful when showering as the shower area cannot be completely separated from the sink and toilet.
[Location]
The location is excellent. It's about a 2-minute walk from King's Cross underground station, and the path is straightforward and easy to navigate.
[Amenities]
Most essential amenities are provided, including a refrigerator, air conditioning, hairdryer, electric kettle, and glasses."
"Had a great stay at ADGE Sydney! The location was excellent, with plenty of restaurants, cafés and attractions nearby. The room was spacious, modern and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again."
"The window facing Sydney's city center offers a delightful view.
Staying here is more affordable than in the CBD, and a family of four can comfortably fit in a double queen room.
The hotel is right above King's Cross metro station, which is incredibly convenient. Of course, walking to the Royal Botanic Garden is also completely fine, and from there you can continue on to the Opera House and Circular Quay.
There are supermarkets nearby, both red (Coles) and green (Woolworths/Metro), and while they aren't huge, they're perfectly adequate for buying some food. Most of the dining options nearby are fast food, with a few small restaurants as well.
You can buy an Opal card at the convenience store inside the metro station, which is a must if you're traveling with children."
"The location is great, quite close to the train station and the city center. From the hotel, you can walk through Hyde Park all the way to the Sydney Opera House. The scenery along this route is beautiful, making for a very pleasant walk. The room is a bit small, but there's enough space for one person and a suitcase. The soundproofing isn't very good. Across the street is a police station, and there's a Japanese breakfast spot in the alley downstairs that's very popular every morning."
"Strong point: Ideal location close to the metro exit. It is possible to go to the center of Sydney on foot and if you walk around Victoria it is possible to have a very beautiful view of the Sydney landscape.
Weak point: The hotel has a laundry room, however it is a shame that it is not clean.
The hotel is not new, the room was ok for a short stay."
"The location is excellent, very close to the Royal Botanic Gardens. The cleanliness was also very good. I forgot my pillow at the hotel and called in the evening to inquire. We had forgotten the room number, and the front desk said they were busy but would look for it and contact me. It's been two days and I haven't heard back, so I've given up hope. There's no breakfast, but it comes with an induction hob, pot, cutlery, and plates, so you can cook something yourself."
"Just like in the photos, the room was spacious and clean, and everyone was friendly, yet it was still quiet. 🤗
There were lockers too, so I didn't have to worry about anything as long as I had my key. The other guests were well-behaved, and the staff were all charming and kind. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied. The location was also good; although it's a bit of a walk from the station, it didn't affect my sightseeing at all."
"The hotel's location is excellent, close to all the city attractions, and there are plenty of food and drink options conveniently located right downstairs, making city walks a breeze. The room hygiene was quite good. If you needed cleaning, you just hung the little sign. If you opted out of cleaning, you could get a 10 AUD voucher daily (though we didn't use it, so we didn't take it; you probably have to actively ask the front desk for it). The room facilities were standard, and hygiene was well-maintained, except for the slightly outdated bathroom facilities, where the shower head switch needed to be twisted. But overall, it was quite comfortable and perfectly fine for a tourist stay."

Amazing
GGuest UserWe had a wonderful stay at Capella Sydney.
Our sincere thanks to Rebecca Chan and Kelly Huang for thoughtfully arranging our rooms and making our family feel so warmly welcomed. We would also like to thank Monica Cisneros for the delicious macarons—they were a lovely and thoughtful surprise.
We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and the hotel’s elegant interior, which beautifully combines classic heritage character with refined modern design. Every detail made the stay feel calm, comfortable, and special.
Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable experience. Capella Sydney will definitely be our first choice whenever we have the opportunity to return to Sydney.
GGuest UserThe location of the hotel is really good. It's super convenient to go everywhere in the city. The room is very well designed and quite cozy. All staff are really nice, polite, & helpful. The hotel's cafe is cute and the breakfast there is also quite good.
The only issue that we faced in this trip was our A/C was not working on our first night and again on our final night. However, the staff was very helpful and very quickly fixing it. So our overall experience was quite happy.
XXiaobi_The location is incredibly convenient, just a three to four-minute walk to the train/subway station, and the light rail stop is right outside – no need to walk more than a minute. Chinatown, QVB, the Opera House, and other attractions are all just one stop away or easily accessible along the line. The front desk staff was quite patient and helpful with directions. The bed was comfortable; I fell asleep instantly, and the soundproofing was decent. However, when staying in a hostel, you do have to put up with issues like roommates having different schedules.
Ttommyjo20121129I chose the W Hotel for a company event because it's the most convenient option, being closest to the ICC venue. The environment was generally good, though the lighting was a bit dim. Overall, it's a prime location and offers a great experience.
GGuest UserI was very satisfied with my stay this time! The hotel environment was comfortable and tidy, the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the amenities were all well-equipped. The staff were friendly and polite, check-in and check-out were smooth, and they were quick to provide assistance when needed. The hotel's location was convenient, with good transportation and dining options nearby. Overall, it's great value for money and I had a very comfortable stay. I would consider staying here again next time I'm in the area, and I highly recommend it to other travelers!
BbabegotravellingHands down the best hotel in Sydney.
It's truly a top-tier hotel, comparable to the J Hotel in Shanghai or the Park Hyatt in Kuala Lumpur, as it occupies Sydney's tallest building.
The room amenities are fully automated; you just need to tap the tablet for anything you need. Plus, all rooms come with smart toilets, which is a rare find in Sydney hotels. The concierge service is also excellent.
The only downside is that the breakfast is truly awful.
PPinweizhongdejimoI highly recommend the Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour! The overall experience was superb, and the service was exceptionally attentive. The front desk offers Chinese-speaking staff, and a lovely girl from Suzhou was particularly warm and thoughtful, proactively helping with various issues and kindly sharing local travel tips. This makes the hotel very friendly to Chinese tourists. The hotel's location is excellent, backing onto Chinatown and right next to Darling Harbour Pier, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and finding food. Plus, it's a pick-up point for local day tour groups, which makes joining tours very hassle-free. Both the convenience of travel and the service experience are impeccable. For Chinese friends visiting Sydney, I highly recommend choosing this hotel.
AAnonymous UserAn excellent location to start your life in Australia, certification and document centres nearby, various types of services nearby and public transport facilities. Excellent staff and often many also able to speak several languages, especially Spanish. Very clean place, with various free ”events” every day for guests. Recommended
MMichelle HemsinWe had a brilliant experience at the Langham for our wedding anniversary! I forgot how much I like the Langham brand. From the pink ribbon around the toilet paper to the sleep ammenities (we asked for the sleep pillow mist and the room diffuser) to the suggested third eye massage technique and the chamomile tea before bedtime, we felt totally pampered and taken care of. Reservation was made for our celebratory dinner with fine steak dinner over the fantastic view of the Opera House. In room breakfast was delivered on time and the quantity copious. The Spanish bell boy was helpful and friendly. We were also upgraded to a harbour view room to our delight. Location was convenient to walk either to Barangaroo or the Rocks, for ferry ride or metro. Very pleased to have chosen The Langham, it was absolutely the right decision for us!
GGuest UserPerfect stay in the heart of Burwood! The location can’t be beaten—walking distance to Westfield Mall, Burwood Park, and countless Asian eateries. The guesthouse has a charming historic vibe with polished wooden floors, plus modern perks like free WiFi and a coin-operated laundry. The host was super friendly and helped us store luggage after check-out.
