This is an excellent hotel. The staff are friendly, kind & courteous. The room I had was clean and tidy. Smack in the middle of the inner west it’s easy to reach all areas. I was here for 5 weeks and the cooking facilities in the room meant some nights I can stay in. I highly recommend. Sajal one of the managers was extremely helpful. This is a great place to stay.

The Urban is a great place to stay in an area of Sydney that is just bursting with life. The rooms are spacious with great facilities and in the foyer, they have 24/7 tea, coffee, biscuits, wine and beer. What more could you ask for....friendly staff??? This is without doubt the best thing about the Urban :-)
