In a great spot - right on the top of a hill in kirribilli to catch the breezes and within walking distance of the train and great places for breakfast. Clean and safe however no airconditioning. It was breezy enough and it has ceiling fans. I came from Brisbane February humidity so i was fine with it, but if you come from a southern state you might find this an issue in Summer.

Really needs air conditioning. One bed light didn’t work. Batteries in remote for TV were flat so unable to use TV. Took batteries from communal lounge TV remote so we could use our TV thankfully.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The property is well located, however being in Sydney the rooms need air conditioning - a fan on hot humid days is ineffective. The room cleanliness was also lacking - the sheets were thin and the floor was covered in other peoples various hair colours and lengths - very off putting. The water pressure was also low and no hot water in the bathroom basin.

I booked the room for the 3 of us so i would of expected the sofa bed to be made up it wasn't and it definitely wasn't a single sofa had a big gap in it near center making it unsleepable.The towels being replaced only once and then only for 2 not sure what they expected the 3rd to do the bin wasn't emptied the 1st make up day so it over flowed till the next time tea bags were not topped up which usually happens all the other places I've stayed at We had are makeup room sign out by 830am and the room was tidied but we had the sign out at10am and no one bothered to make it up so if you want fresh towels or your bins emptied bed made you cannot have a Dozie sleep in.The location was good just a bit inconvenient when rail work is being done so if you know in advance you are probable better to stay else were but it is a good walk over the bridge if you are only doing city The accommodation was not at all what we expected so tiny not sure where they would of but there free roll away bed if we requested it.had to walk side ways around as it was

Having stayed at this property previously, and essentially satisfied, booked again, bus was disappointing to experience the following: > a lizard (still alive) in the bed just as getting in > hair and dirt in bathroom > a rat roaming freely in the adjacent garden visible from the bedroom > ironing board & cover damaged Besides that, Carnarvon Lodge is a great location and accessible to many amenities and transport services

Access was unsafe due to flooding in heavy rain. The premises were undergoing renovation and the builders had not rectified drainage from the access. We had booked two nights but were compelled to relocate elsewhere. The premises should really have been closed during the renovation. The manager Jason was helpful and understanding.
