The breakfast was great, we loved it. Room was clean and location was fantastic to explore sydney, central station was 5-10 mins walk. Plenty of cafes, restaurants nearby. Quiet because it is tucked away at the end of Thomas Street, also a dead end street. This was our second stay and would very much stay there again in the future.

We had an excellent stay at Sydney Central Hotel managed by Ascott Limited. The staff was superb and very accommodating. Thank you thank you very much! The location was wonderful! Close to the supermarket, chinatown and approx 15 mins from Sydney airport. Enjoyed the amenities - very beautiful pool. Washed our clothes in the laundry - very satisfied. Love the buffet breakfast plenty to choose from. Our rooms were clean dining, and lobby. We will definitely come back when we visit Sydney! I highly recommend to everybody! 5+ stars!
