This review is 3 months overdue but WHO CARES!
I stayed here for a week and I was pleasantly surprised. It was really affordable, the room was small but modern, 24 hour front desk so i felt safe as a lone traveler, the area is pretty lively at night. There's a cab line right in front of the hotel so that's a huge plus, if you book a tour The Bayswater Sydney is right next door to a centrally located hotel that all tours pick you up from, it was just the most easy place to stay. I had everything i needed right there.
there are restaurants, corner stores, bars, clubs surrounding the hotel.
and if none of those interested me then I just hopped in a cab right out front
and went on my way. Every cab knew where my hotel was and I was never lost!
there's a pieface around the corner HUGE +! I'm not sure if they are located everywhere like Starbucks is in NY but I was just happy to have an amazing meat pie every day!!!
The hotel was quiet at night and you barely run into people. It's a nice boutique hotel. I stayed in the small double and I tell you ITS SMALL! two people can stay there but it'll have to be a couple that know each other well because if you're shy about being heard using the bathroom then forget about it, the small double isn't for you! But it was perfect for me because I was alone. The bathroom is nice and modern looking but small of course with a stand up showers with glass doors.
You get free 24 hour access to the gym across the street, there's a tours desk, flat screen TV (unfortunately crappy channels) a fridge, closet with plenty of space, a desk and that's it. I had a good stay here and i would do it again!
NOW GO! Lay your head on the Bayswater Sydney! read more
