With kitchens, laundry, and balcony for each room and parking, a gym, sauna and pool on-site - what's not to love? Other things to love are the area - very cool Chippendale and Redfern next door. Lots of art galleries and the fab bakery, Brickfields a block away. A short walk to a supermarkets, bottle shop, chemist and (the reason I stay here) a short walk to the University of Sydney. If you're cabbing it from the airport, a night fare is between $20-30. I highly recommend this place if the location suits you.

The room itself was great, albeit ALL the way the hall from the elevator. There was a small kitchenette, equipped with a combination washer dryer which was very handy. On my last evening, I washed my travel clothing and my first two days clothing, which saved me on packing space. The bathroom was lovely, with both a shower and tub, and a double sink. The tub looked a bit discolored, but then again, I would almost certainly not use a hotel bathtub anyway. The room was very large. Bit enough for what I think was a king bed, a seating area, plus an extra chair. It was in the back of the hotel, so it was quiet. Pretty sure there was a tiny balcony, but that side overlooked a side street, so I didn't venture out. Well located toward the North end of Bondi beach, steps from the beach. There is an entrance off the side street, or one can take an elevator from the back of a tiny shopping center under the hotel which has two food establishments, a liquor store, and a full supermarket. The hotel itself does not have a restaurant, but there are all kinds of food options nearby. I'd stay again.

I went up to the bar to order drinks and tried to pay with my credit card, and the unfriendly lady bartender said "cash only" and scoffed at me. Same went with food, so my friend and I ended up popping out for a pizza across the road. My second visit was much better as it was a lazy but nice Sunday afternoon. Staff was a bit more friendly. By 4PM though, they had run out of salt and pepper calamari so we settled for hot chips, which were nice. It came with sour cream and a little bit of sweet chili sauce. Overall a decent place, but nothing special. It's a bit like Coogee Bay Hotel where its just a big place where drunk people go.

Plenty of signage around telling you what each building/area was for back in the day. There are campsites available for those so inclined. I'm not all that sure I'd want to spend the night here, as I get an inkling that there might be a restless spirit or two hanging about. (if you believe that sort of thing) There's a small spot for food and drink right by where the ferry does the pick up/drop off. There's also the Airstream Cafe and Captain Sausage on the opposite side of the island. There's no charge to visit the island and explore, so do it!

There is even a grocery store below the building and it was SO convenient, especially since there is a kitchenette in the room. 2. The elevators were SO fast. Probably one of the fastest elevators I have ever been in. This is a good thing. 3. The room was lovely and just had a great view. Nothing bad to say about the room, though our tub was not working great. The shower was good though. 4. Used the pool a couple times. It's small, but served it's purpose of letting my kids enjoy. There are beautiful views from the pool too. 5. Lastly, the service was great. I interacted with a couple of the male front desk staff while we were there and they were both really helpful (apologies that I forgot both their names). They were great! 6. For those needing to wait around after check out, there is a bathroom/shower that you can use while waiting on the pool floor. That was helpful too. Would definitely choose to stay here if we ever get the privilege to return to Sydney.

I found this quaint hotel on Hotels.com, but found out that it wasn't really a hotel, but a step up…read morefrom a hostel. It surely had private guest rooms, but I was surprised to find out about the shared centralized bathrooms and showers. I probably should have read through the reviews, but I couldn't turn down this deal, due to the close proximity of the Bradley Park location. The property was basically 1 km from the start line of the 2018 Blackmores Sydney marathon and half marathon and decided to book this one - mainly due to that aspect. And so, I booked this hotel accommodation, not knowing well enough that this is like an upgraded hostel. The Glennferie Lodge is basically a two story private residence - or what looks like it in Kiribilli / North Sydney Australia. It's nice that it is nestled in the suburbs of North Sydney, away from the urban twang from the central business district across the bridge. The neighborhood that it sits on is a quiet area, which is always nice to be in. I booked two nights here at the Glennferrie Lodge and possibly had a good stay here, even though having to go to the restroom at 2:30am & 4:15am, and need to leave your room wasn't the highlights of my stay. Just needed to be said. Keep that in mind when you are looking for affordable accommodations here in the northern suburbs or even in the Sydney's central business district. For me, Glennferrie was affordable enough and logically sound. The overall experience here at the Glennferrie Lodge was ok and good at the same time, although the aforementioned shared bathrooms outside the individual units was a bit annoying. I guess that came with the territory when you acknowledge booking with them. They assigned me room 59, which was one of the rooms on the ground floor. As you can imagine, those shared bathrooms / showers were on the higher level. So, having to climb stairs at 2:30am for the restroom wasn't fun, but necessary. The Glennferrie Lodge is located at 12 Carabella Street in the Kiribilli / North Sydney Australia neighborhood. They accept major credit cards for payment, which is always a good thing for travelers and people who wish to stay local. Getting here is usually done through private car. They have parking spaces here for guests. Best bet is to utilize these spaces or other nearby residential streets, if possible. For me, I got here initially through walking from CBD area of Sydney via the Sydney harbor bridge, although taking Uber thereafter was way better. However you want to get here is fine. Sometimes, finding a nice place outside the CBD area for a relaxing weekend can do a lot of justice. The house itself was beautiful, however, when you walk through the level where the reception was - the floor squeaked pretty loudly. Hard to tip toe about when the floor does that. The room I got was nice. Since I was there for 2 nights, I slept on both beds, one on each night. Seemed the right thing to do really. They had me in a room with 2 single beds. The unit itself seemed albeit small, but it was large enough to be habitable and cozy. The ambiance of the room was nice and everything was working correctly. The WiFi was spotty during my stay or not working properly, so I just used my network data. The room itself was clean and seemed like a small apartment, but with 2 beds, instead of one. All in all, it was a good stay. The prices here were pretty good. I believe it was about AU $80-$100/night, which isn't bad at all. Just need to remember the thing about the shared bathrooms, showers, and you should be alright. The check in and out service was fine, friendly, and quick. The beds were pretty comfortable and I managed to get good amount of hours of sleep for the race and enough to get up early for the early flight out to Christchurch, NZ the Monday after. It's a cute place, if you don't mind the bathroom / situation. Consider coming to the Glennferrie Lodge, where it can be cost effective to be here. Although it's not a bad location from the CBD area of Sydney, best bet is to just get around with a rental car or even uber. Recommend if you are visiting Sydney and need a place that's budget friendly. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 3.0 stars for the bathroom trips upstairs. 4.0 stars for the room and bed. comfort. Support local! B

When my other half and I checked in we were told those who booked with them on their site they'd be a complimentary buffet breakfast for us. We'd booked with trivago however he had given us the pass which was awesome. The food was nice they served tea, coffee, juices, cereal and hot food. The tea room has a TV and an outdoor seating area with a lovely garden. We got a deluxe double bed room and it was spacious. There's a TV, desk, lounge chair and two bedside tables next to us and a shared balcony. They'd also provided a guest book with info regarding the area; eateries, transport and emergencies such as nearest hospitals. Around the lodge you'll find canvases of the sydney harbour and well known sydney landmarks which was refreshing. The showers and bathrooms are shared and they're all unisex. All generous sized with everything you may need ie. Bins, soap, hair products etc.

In A Nutshell: -This…read moreWyndham location is in an excellent location. -You are never far from all the major spots in Sydney. -Just a 15 minute walk to Central Station, 20 mins to Circular Quay or 25 mins to Sydney Fish Market or Cockle Bay Wharf. -These are mini-suites which offer a small kitchen, a decent bed & tiny bathroom. -FREE laundry is available on floors 7, 11 & 15, which is a huge plus. -Room service wasn't that great. -Thin walls allows some noise to penetrate. -Wifi cost $5 AUD per 24 hours, for 500mb, the speed was faster than my T-Mobile roaming, but nothing crazy fast. -There's also a convenient store (rip off) & a Thai massage spot next door. Overall, the price point is average, but what makes this place worth it is the excellent location & free laundry.

Everything on the bed should be cleaned! Sheets as well as decorative pillows and throws as they had some sinister stains on them.

The main room came with ensuite but the position of the door and light switch weren't very functional. Get in early for car spaces otherwise there is a parking complex on Goulburn Street.
