Clean, comfortable accommodation

Basic but with all the essentials. Clean rooms. Close to trains and buses to city centre and airport. Helpful, friendly hosts. Able to leave luggage at hotel by arrangement with hosts on day of departure before leaving for the airport. Would be very happy to stay there again.

Good hotel with excellent location

Nice host. Good room. Good bed. Small bathroom. Shower could randomly get scolding hot and must avoid the water then. Excellent location. Really getting your moneys worth. Easy to miss the stairs up to hotel.

Excellent!

Small, well-kept hotel, attended by the owner George, who is extremely attentive and friendly. Very well located 300 m from the train station. Coles supermarket and several restaurants and cafes nearby. It was our second stay at this hotel and whenever we return to Sydney we will stay there.

Better than expected. They have a small restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. Very good food. Very friendly staff. Sheets were ironed. If you are carrying heavy luggage consider there are steps for getting to the rooms that are in a second floor.

Bijou but adequate to wash and sleep.

The room was small but it contained all I needed. The en-suite was fully equipt. The most striking thing was the excellent quality of the bedding and towels. This is not a place to sit around in but there are bars and restaurants outside and Kings Cross centre is a few yards away.

This is no longer a bed and breakfast. The cafe connected to the hotel is not operating. The owner George is accessible through WhatsApp, and he can answer questions, but there is no service provided other than trash removal. The facility is clean, roomy, and reasonably priced, and it's in a really great area. Adequate. We're not

The location was really good for me - Vibrancy in the evening and quiet mornings. Room was clean and all that was needed for sleeping in. It was also quiet. I would have liked to meet the staff/reception? Im assuming they were in the Cafe? Which was always closed when we were up and about or coming home. Hard to find some local knowledge when not familiar in the city. Great WIFI...

Disliked: Amenities
The building is old, very close to neighboring building, limited electrical plugs, low water pressure, but as a place to just sleep, it’s fine. Interesting neighborhood, centrally located, easy walk to Philip park, gardens, museums, opera house, ferries, downtown. Perfect for me, I don’t spend much time in the room. Check in is by key box, there’s no front desk, I didn’t see any staff person for the four days I was there.

Das Haus ist schon alt und das merkt man an der ein oder anderen Stelle, das macht aber auch den Charakter des Hauses aus. Wir hatten Zimmer 1 und das war sehr großzügig und funktional. Es fehlte uns an nichts. Check-In und -Out waren sehr unkompliziert. Man kann von dort in 30 Minuten zu Fuß durch den botanischen Garten zur Opera laufen oder ganz einfach die Tram ab Kings Cross nehmen. Obwohl man also nicht im CBD wohnt, ist man schnell an den wichtigsten Punkten der Stadt. Für uns ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und eine Empfehlung!

God værdi og lokalitet

Rigtig godt hotel til prisen, super lokation midt i Kings Cross, kort til offentlig transport og godt udvalg af spisesteder. Værelse stort og rummeligt, velfungerende og rent, men ikke særlig charmerende indrettet. Georg er god og hjælpsom vært. Kan varmt anbefales 👍

Petit hotel très agréable pour visiter Sydney

Nous avons passé 5 nuits dans cet hôtel et tout était parfait. J'ai apprécié l'accueil des propriétaires et leur gentillesse. Le petit déjeuner en terrasse est bien agréable et il est très bon. La chambre et la literie sont confortables. Un frigidaire est à disposition ainsi que des boissons chaudes. L'hôtel est bien situé dans un quartier animé et proche des transports en commun. Je recommande vivement cette adresse. Francoise et Franck

George, the innkeeper, was friendly and helpful. He carried our luggage up and down the stairs. The breakfast choices included in the room rate were hearty and delicious. The hotel is located in a vibrant area with lots of restaurants. It's just a few blocks from the subway. Our only disappointment was that the shower either ran very hot or very cold and we couldn't find a happy medium.

the price was reasonable. the breakfast (additional cost) was very very good; it was also nice to eat outside (our choice...there is also a cafe inside)). the location is good...we could walk to the botanical gardens, opera house and the metro (subway) although it's a bit confusing initially, due to the shape of the harbour...difficult to get our bearings

Ich kann nicht verstehen, wie dieses Hotel solch gute Bewertungen bekommen kann. Das Zimmer war winzig, man konnte nicht mal seinen Koffer auf den Boden legen. Der Zustand des Zimmers war alt und abgelebt, es war alles andere als gemütlich. Das WLAN war ein schlechter Scherz.

My home away from home

I try to stay at Hotel 59 every time I visit Sydney. It is a family run hotel and George, Kathy and their Dad (who makes great French toast) have made me feel like one of the family. Morning breakfast in the cafe is always fun with the opportunity for great conversation. The neighborhood itself is quiet, but a short walk away from the subway and the action of Kings Cross. The rooms are comfortable with good bedding and all the amenities to make for a comfortable stay. It’s the personal touch that makes all the difference for me which is why I keep coming back. I’m already looking forward to my next (as yet unplanned) trip to Sydney!
