Top Kensington Street Hotel Reviews

Ace Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and a clean room, comfy bed and great location!"

Rydges Sydney Central

8/10 Good

"I wasn't sure what to expect of this place, after reading some of the reviews. But all in all, it was pretty good when considering the price paid over a weekend while Vivid is on. First the good: The spacious room, very comfortable bed, ample mirrors (including full length), the onsite awesome Brew Bar (Sydney Brewery) which does a great range of beers and a daily food/drink special. Happy Hour is very happy/happy! The proximity to Central Station makes it easy to get from/to the airport and then anywhere you could possibly want to go, I zipped down to Circular Quay every day on trains that were very frequent (Exit 3/Elizabeth St is your best exit). The not so good: The rooms are a bit tired, showing their age, particularly the bathroom. But put into the context of the price paid, this is to be expected. The one thing that stood out most was the faint smell of what I thought to be stale cigarette smoke. It was very faint, but noticeable on day one when I first entered the room. I seemed to get used to it as the days went on though."

Shangri-La Sydney

8/10 Good

"It was good but would have expected better. Firstly there was a problem seemingly caused by Expedia - we had booked for 2 adults and 1 child in a single room. But the Expedia confirmation only said 2 adults. Confusing and ended up resolving it at the hotel without too much hassle. Good service tbh. Acoustic separation between rooms was a problem. All nights we were there we were disturbed by our neighbour the other side of the locked interconnect door. 2 different neighbours (one very shouty person, one crying baby) Breakfast was very comprehensive in terms of plenty of options but all bad. Toast was good. Fruit was tasteless. Coffee mediocre. Omelette cooked to order was undercooked and inedible. Cooked breakfast was OK but much like you might expect at a more budget hotel - stuff sitting in metal containers for ages. Bed was really comfortable, the shower was excellent and the room clean which honestly are the main requirements of a hotel. So on the absolute basics it did really well."
