One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The Art Deco aesthetic was a major selling point and did not disappoint. It’s walking distance from Central Station and shopping areas in the CBD. Bed was clean and comfortable, bathroom was suitable for a solo traveler.

We loved our stay at Morris Hotel! The rooms and decor were stylish and modern, are were well equipped with everything we needed! They are a bit small, but this was fine for us since we spent most of the day out exploring. Staff were incredibly warm and helpful, and we loved all their service finishing touches. Will definitely be returning on our next trip to Sydney!

Nice, small boutique hotel in China town.

Nice boutique hotel. Rooms very small, and difficult to accommodate small luggage. No closet. we felt a bit claustrophobic when in the room. Bed was comfortable enough.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Charming hotel with character. We chose to upgrade to a suite as some rooms are very small. Upgrade was inexpensive, so well worth it. Sole downside was poor sound insulation between our room and the next, but overall great.

No duvets in the bed, just 2 lose sheets between a dirty blanket. Construction work just outside the window which was facing straight into a wall. Walls very thin and you could hear all from the guests next door. Floor carpet not very clean BUT super friendly staff. I will certainly not recommend this hotel.

Spent a few days in Sydney after a beach holiday in Bali. British couple in our 50s. Never visited before. The hotel is well positioned and public transport is excellent. Tap on tap off. The room is small with little storage but clean and comfortable. Found the bar staff a little awkward on the Friday night as it was busy. Overall it was good.

The small rooms are tiny, but the cleanliness of the carpets and lamps (full of dust) are disgusting. Stains on the carpet and splashes of liquid up the walls. Cute bar downstairs but they need to do better on the cleanliness of the rooms- especially the yellow carpet.

Nice hotel, great location. Clean and well presented. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only downside is that the rooms are a little noisy. Not sure if it was just the positioning of the room by the elevator, but could clearly hear the elevator going up and down throughout the night and very clearly hear the plumbing of the room next door. Was woken up a few times throughout the night because of the noise.
