We were greeted by a cockroach in our bathroom when we arrived, the latch on the window was broken so we couldn't shut the window, there was mould on the walls in the bathroom and bedroom and the bottom of the wardrobe was filthy. We only stayed one night, then moved to a different hotel for the rest of our stay in Sydney

We spent a rainy few days in Sydney and the Mariners Court Hotel was raindrop-dodging close to several restaurants and pubs. The breakfast buffet offered a nice variety of foods.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean at first look then we found some bugs in the bed, a lot of mold in the shower and all over the bathroom and then we saw coaches running around… the building looks shady but seems quite secure, although the bedroom door was not always locking perfectly. Considering the other reviews it s a bit disappointing. If you stay there have some flip flops for the shower.

I was looking for the cheapest option in Sydney and booked the cheapest room with a private bathroom. I was very pleased with the upgrade to an apartment, it was very convenient. The room was renovated, large and clean. The area is very quiet, unlike the central part of Sydney, where there is constant noise from the street and from the bars. At the same time, the center is only 25-30 minutes walk along the beautiful embankment and gardens, and next to the hotel there is a cozy residential area, there is a cafe and a small supermarket.
