Haymarket Hotels & Accommodations

A friend and I stayed here over the weekend for one night, before a concert in another location. We had both flown in around 2pm into SYD airport, and arrived at approx 1500H. Upon entering the property, the bottom floor smelt of a deep muskiness that was intensely strong. Check in is from 1100H. So thinking that everything would be ready by 1500H, we were unfortunately wrong. We went to our pods and the cleaner was there, doing our beds as we stood there. It was slightly uncomfortable. The pod itself was clean and spacious. They actually met out expectations from the photos. But holy hell, these pods get hot as hell. Couldn't imagine staying here in Summer. Waking up at 7am and the pod itself being over 28 degrees. With the fun on high. There needs to be a better fan system or even air-conditioning. The hotel though was beyond filthy. The stairwell was sticky, the bathrooms were not clean, and the women's toilets had the ceiling missing. Oh and fun fact. If your pod is locked and you're inside it, anyone can come up and just PUSH them open. Had it occur multiple times during our stay. So no, the pods are not secure and I believe anyone staying here should not leave any valuables inside the pods thinking they are secure. Location is ideal though. Walking distance from Central station, and tram line less than 200m away. Value for money - but NOT secure sleeping pods.

Great location, right near the Central train station. I’ve asked for a quiet room and got one at the back of the hotel. I believe the rooms facing the Main Street outside must be noisy as overall walls and windows sound isolation not very good. So, I suggest asking for a room with a window facing inside (no view but peaceful). The room was very basic and you need to ask for shampoo at the reception if you stay longer than one night as room cleaning service is not included.

I just wanted a good night's sleep in a comfy bed at George 790 and I fell asleep. Hotel George 790 is just two minutes from Sydney Central Station. The hotel is clean and tidy, as are the shared showers and toilets! A/C was on (20C) and I met two lovely tourists - one from Boston and one from Denmark - in Adelaide in a girls' dorm in a 4 bed room Won a bronze medal in the Ryder Surf Life Saving competition! Also, I found a Chinese restaurant serving halal meat right under it!!! Too bad I can't connect to their free wi-fi at night.

Perfect location, transportation, restaurants in Chinatown and Haymarket.The hotel amenities are fantastic, staff are very friendly and the rooms are clean and tidy. Highly recommend.

Overall was great experienced . But the amenities abit round down and the room is stuffy during summer . No fans available and window can’t open. Towel have to request upon asking , the reception won’t give it to you if you not asking. Hair dryer in the male toilet was broken. Location was great just right infront of the Haymarket tram.

It was good but we didn't get the room service even though we hung the sign requesting the service in front of the door. The bath plug was missing so we asked multiple times for it, still wasn't given till we checked out. The mattress wasn't comfortable, we were told that the maintenance guy will have a look. We came back to the hotel just to find out that the room wasn't serviced and the sheets were piled up on mattress. The front desk was helpful, they ended up making the bed. Could have been a great stay should the room is serviced and the bath plug is there for us to use.

Stayed for a quick, one night getaway. Hotel has been recently upgraded to a stylish, comfortable standard. We booked a king room, which was clean, quiet and had everything needed for a short stay. The bed was extremely comfortable with high grade linens. The bathroom, while compact, was renovated to a high standard. The shower pressure was good and the provided toiletries were good quality. The front desk staff are such lovely people, who went out of their way to make sure everything was ok, and tell us about the renovations. They are obviously proud of their establishment. This hotel is right next door to the Capitol Theatre and a short 5 minute walk from Central Station. The Light Rail stop is a 1 minute walk from the front door. We will quite happily stay here again.

The room was spacious, a rarity in the city for that price, quiet in the middle of peak season and close to Chinatown, theatre and public transport. We combined flights to get a further discount, and discounts are available on several websites, so we paid under $200 a night. The decore was classy. Aircon, tv, free toiletries and coffee making facilities were available. The housekeeping service was daily, efficient and generous generous with biscuit and milk refills and towels. The staff were friendly, always saying hello. The cleaning and desk staff were the same people, so we got to know each other, which was added security on the door, when strangers tried to follow us inside without a keycard. We had to tap the keycard at the door, elevator and room door, which gave extra security. The view of the city and church was pleasant and we could hear the church bells at 10am on a Sunday. Incredibly short walk to light rail, bus and train. We caught a taxi by hailing on George St, We attended Capitol Theatre, a short distance away. Thai and Vietnamese food outlets were downstairs. Thai massage was available until 2am! The king-sized bed and pillows were very comfortable.

It was a great service by Manager. Actually, we booked wrong, was small. Of course we paid extra fee to change the room but we were very satisfied stayed at Meriton...we will book there again for next our family trip to Sydney. Highly appreciated to Meriton reception team & Manager. Strongly recommendable to our friends.

Clean hostel with friendly staff. Rooms were spacious with large lockers for each occupant and personal plugs and bed side lights in a great position. Showers/toilets on each floor and I never had to wait to use them. Downside is that you can hear the music from their basement club even on the 6th floor until late into the night. Didn’t bother me as I was only there a few nights and I managed to get enough sleep. Kitchen is WAY too small for amount of guests in the hostel. The social events put on by the hostel were a good way to meet people as a solo female traveller.
