The Occidental Hotel

The hotel is not bad, just the fridge door keep leaking water to the carpentry

After taking the lift to our room on the third floor we were unable to hear anything of the noisy old style Australian pup on street level. The share bathroom was okay, nobody else seemed to be using it the night we stayed. A great location in the city centre close to the harbour, Nsw art gallery, etc.

We a family of 3 stayed here for 4nights in an en-suite family room (queen+single+single). The room is spacious as per photo. The toilet is clean with good water pressure (only took time 5-10min for hot water to arrive with the running taps). Sheets were clean and they even supplied fresh towels on day 3. The only minor setback was the carpeted floor seems worn, fortunately we brought our own sandals which made our own expensive more comfortable. Check-in was through the bar tender on duty while check-out was just a breeze (just key drop). Location wise it’s perfect within walking distance to Darling Harbour, Opera House, etc. Tram and trains (Wynyard Stn) readily available within less than a 5min walk making it super convenient. Since it’s in CBD, do expect some noise for the street below but it was fine with us. Will definitely stay again if visiting Sydney. As a host myself, I can confirm it’s a gem. You can find a better place to stay at the rates they are offering..
