Hotel berhampiran Teater Capitol, Haymarket

Me and my friend pick YHA Sydney Central as the location is so convenient to travel around in Sydney(tram station just right in front of the hotel). We also appreciated staffs, and how clean the hotel is as well. We love that they have kitchen / common area to enjoy our time with other guests as well. We will visit again 👍🏻

Kristina was very friendly and helpful during check-in. We really appreciated her assistance with all the concierge information. However, the room had two bottles of shampoo and no shower gel. Amenities were quite limited and only provided upon request. James at the front desk was not friendly or helpful. The front desk also seemed short-staffed, as the queue was long and we had to wait quite a while for check-out and luggage collection.

Great location in Thai Town, a lot of Thai food for who beloved Thai Taste then would recommend to stay here. Walking distance to shopping area and Tram. Nice room design, good breakfast. Reception is at the Bar but limited Hotel Staff - still good service. Staff in the morning shift was good and the Reception who was check-in very helpful. Only, one lady, nice shift who’s wear black jacket on day of 1Feb’26 was not friendly with Asian Guests. Tone of voice during conversions feel aggressive.

Great location! very close to darling harbour, Chinatown, few minutes to Opera House and the Rocks. Spacious room and friendly staffs. Very happy and highly recommend this hotel!!

Overall, it is worth it for its location and price within Sydney CBD. You can have a room of decent size without burning a hole in your pocket. While it is not a fancy hotel and has been refurbished, you can still see some dents and marks on the walls. However, it is clean and comfortable. One thing to note: the hotel informed me that the reception would open at 7 AM. When I arrived, there was no one to be seen, and I didn’t have a data SIM that could make local calls. Eventually, I asked a friendly local to borrow their phone to make the calls. It was a bit inconvenient.

My stay at Meriton Suites Campbell Street was fantastic. The location is absolutely perfect—right in the heart of Chinatown, steps from the Capitol Theatre, and just minutes from the light rail and Central Station . The suite was incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, and had everything I needed: a full kitchen, internal laundry, and a very comfortable bed . The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a central base with plenty of room to relax.

The location was really good, right near the city center with public transportation all around. The room itself was ok in size. The boxes for luggage are super inconvenient, especially if you have an upper one. Moreover, sockets for charging are inside those boxes, which is hilarious. Everybody was struggling with charging their gadgets.

For the price without lockers in the room and bedside charging is a little too much IMO. Otherwise great events being held at the hostel.

I went on vacation with my family, chose a family room, in the master bedroom there was a big air conditioner in the room, it was very noisy, I could not sleep at all, if I did not turn on the air conditioner, the air in the room would not circulate, and it was very hot, I felt very guilty.

I would tell the toilet is as per review, yes it is small and narrow but it’s simply worth the price especially when you consider the location (2mins walk to Chinatown station and Haymarket (most cheapest market in Sydney), and measured few stations to Circular Quay and one station to Sydney Central Station! Well the room (pod) condition also nice, even though you can expect the space pod is small but it’s clean and the A/C, electricity and locker works perfectly fine. Will definitely book this hotel again next time if I were a budget traveller.
