Searching...

Spent 2 nights over a weekend here. The hotel has everything you would expect and need, but nothing to set it apart from other hotels in a similar price bracket. Whilst helpful, the telephone reservations person was unable to guarantee our request for adjoining rooms. Thankfully they we got them at check-in as we were travelling with our kids. The rooms looked like most city hotel rooms in this price bracket - clean, modern, neutral. We were on level 8 and not bothered by street or train noise (it was a weekend). The doors between our adjoining rooms had to be kept open otherwise you were locked out of the other room, but when they were open, you couldn't access the desk or mini bar in either room.The breakfast buffet had all the usual fare (with the addition of caramel slice!) My kids liked the under-floor aquarium in the lobby, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for the fish! We had a package that included tickets to the Australian Museum and a gift bag with a few things that the kids enjoyed. The indoor pool was fine for the kids to play in and I could watch them from the spa pool. Towels for the pool were provided and there were bathrobes in the room to wear to and from the pool. In the public areas there were lots of signed photos of famous guests of the former Sebel Town House hotel.I would happily stay here again, but will probably try another hotel next time I go to Sydney, in the hope of finding that something extra that makes a comfortable stay into something special and memorable.

Sebel Surry Hills is perfectly located within a short walk from all of the areas that I need to go. The rooms are neat, clean and comfortable. I never use the restaurant amenities so I can't comment on that. I'll definitely stay again.

Stayed here a few times previously in last 12 months, like the gym and pool and access to Central, even encouraged my clients to stay here too...this trip though was put into a smelly room, carpet must have got very wet at some point?? Shifted to another room...but had painters working in adjoining rooms both days, so my client meetings were interrupted by that noise. Advised management, they said they would get back to me, nothing heard. Finally slow response to requests for a side table and chair to be brought to the room, maybe they are short on staff? So an unsatisfactory visit. Sense is if you don't expect too much, you won't be disappointed.,

When you book into a nice hotel like the Sebel, you don't expect it to be run down, or falling apart. When you first walk into the room, you see water damage on the walls that has been painted over. Move to the bathroom, and half the door is rotten. This was fixed again by a quick paint over the rotten wood. This is my second stay at this hotel, and the second time we have been disappointed. The first, the toilet seat was not attached to the toilet.If they provide a sub standard room, then they should charge accordingly.

My husband and I travelled to Sydney to catch up with family and found this location very good. Close to Central Station and also a short walk to Elizabeth Street and the free hop-on, hop-off bus. The room we had was spacious with a couch and desk and plenty of room. Also a good sized bathroom. We did not eat breakfast in the hotel every morning but found when we did that there was a good variety of food and the staff were very helpful and as the restaurant was busy one particular morning, we found the staff replenished the buffet very quickly. We did not eat at Albies Restaurant at night, but enjoyed the Townhouse Bar on a number of occasions. They have a happy hour in the afternoon which we found very good. We had a number of lunches here and dinner two nights. Great spot to meet friends and relax on a couch in the corner. Lovely staff there also. Nothing was any bother to them. The only small problem was I could not get my favourite coffee, cappuccino. All in all a really good hotel, spacious reception, lovely and efficient staff, clean rooms and good location. We got fantastic value as we were fortunate to get a promotion sale price for the five days we were here. Wonderful.
