Summer House Kings Cross, Sydney

Woolloomooloo|0.64km from St Mary's Cathedral
This happened under the current management although they claim it didn’t. Pretty much the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. I’ve stayed in dozens. Bullying staff and management, actually emotionally abusive. The decent one or two staff members don’t know how to handle the crazy staff. Apparently those nasty staff were fired or left - Max and Lorna - but not until the new management enabled them to harass / bully guests and throw them out in the middle of the night for absolutely no reason. Staff play varied between being your best friend and your worst enemy, keeping everyone off kilter and on edge. They were either on a crusade of righteousness or ganging up against some guests with other guests in really nasty ways. Weird quiet guests in the shadows, saying really strange things to people, lots of mind games - and the management kick out anyone with no notice or explanation - about 10 people kicked out over the course of 2 weeks for having harmless fun or “not telling, just go - rumours”. Staff members would get very overly close to some guests and bully other guests and even kick them out in the middle of the night - without verifying the truth. This happened under current management. The same staff who claimed to be against extreme racism & sexism that was rampant at this hostel. Suddenly they very guest that they were protecting from racism and sexism was the guest they kicked out in the middle of the night because one of the bullies turns out to be one of their friends. Horrible stuff. The staff get uptight and close up any social outdoor seating and the tv room after about 11 pm. Even if you’re not disturbing anyone. You have to wait till they go home, but they make sure everything is locked up so that no one can actually relax. Then, they go around blacklisting at other hostels anybody who says that they want to check out early, or who they kick out, to try to prevent them from checking in anywhere else, even if they haven’t told them what is supposedly done wrong. That’s how insane they are. Or for minor misdeamnours. The hostels humour them, and then ignore them. Many guests left early as they felt uncomfortable, several of my mates left, we all went to a hostel elsewhere and relaxed and laughed and felt way better - the other hostels had all heard of Band laughed when we mentioned it, their reputation as the last place to be for travellers precedes them. Guests are aggressively threatened and rebuked for peacefully congregating one minute, and then sidled up to the next, very strange. Then, they will be smiling and collecting stories on somebody else and threatening them. It’s just a very strange place. Most who say “it’s great!” stay short term before they realise. All outdoor areas are smoking and staff were flaunting the no smoking section of the outdoors, so everybody else does, too, which is great if you are a chain smoker like most of us and sucks if you are not or are tying to give up - absolutely no chance in this plac

Was 2 nights with wife and son during the Easter Break. Pretty good and cosy hotel. Friendly employees. Swimming pool was busy, wish it was bigger. Breakfast was great. Prices were reasonable, perfect for our budget.

Travelodge Hotel Sydney Martin Place

The hotel location is near the subway station and it takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to the Sydney Victoria Shopping Centre / Circular Quay. There is a bus stop downstairs to different places in the city, such as bondi beach. The hotel facilities are average, the beds are very narrow, and I don't like to see the inside of the quilt, other equipment is quite clean.
The Sebel Sydney Martin Place

Room initially appeared well presented with good basic amenities and good central location for what we needed. Bathroom with large shower and good water pressure. Bed comfy.Front reception staff friendly and helpful. Parking close by (although a bit of a rabbit warren to get to / from car park, you also may need to tell parking staff that you a a guest of the hotel to get in as it also has public parking and fills up). The negatives I noted that bedside table had a couple marks (looked greasy/ hadn’t been cleaned properly) otherwise the room appeared clean to me. The tea and coffee looked like it was skimped (box showing 4 pods of coffee only had one). Friend in different room had similar experience and their soap was empty. Heard another guest complain about the cleanliness of their room to front reception whilst I was waiting in the lobby. For me the real surprise was being charged for things I didn’t use in the minibar. I rang them once I was home and reception told me it wasn’t an error, and the bill would remain (however they said ‘we will check’). I had one drink, not 3… unless I drank them whilst asleep!This is actually the action which motivated me to review this hotel, so others know to be careful. The charge won’t break my bank account but I feel like I have been shortchanged. I think all the issues with the hotel are with housekeeping, I won’t stay again though due to the minibar charges. If the housekeeping improved (cleanliness, refilling consumables and not charging guests for items not used) it has potential to be a nice hotel.

I am giving 1 star to this hotel as its not possible to go lower than this! I had an extremely unpleasant stay in this hotel..very rude staff, tiny room like a shoebox, frequent issues with internet describes my stay in this hotel. Today morning ( Oct 29th, 2022) Internet didn't work at all for 3-4 hours, I called reception to complain and the lady at reception was very rude, she mentioned that Internet is complementary so we can't guarantee that it will work!! This is 2022 our whole life depends on Internet, I was on business trip and this bad quality internet made my life very difficult. Rooms are shoebox sized,while sitting on the bed, if you stretch your arms chances are that you will reach both sides of the wall .. Lol! Lady at the reception was extremely rude, I have been travelling around the world, never experienced such rudeness from someone in hotel industry, its weird, looked like she was on a mission to damage hotel reputation. I had booked a wake up call in the morning. . Despite of confirmation no one called me. They simply don't care! STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL

I enjoyed staying at the hotel. The staff was friendly. The only negative I can think of is: no water bottle was available in the room and you need to buy it yourself (everyday).
