Very small room but convenient location

Good location in buzzing part of Sydney - walking distance from both the Allianz stadium and the bridge/opera house area. Expensive for size of room but you’re paying for it being Sydney. Very small room - no space even for a seat and only one pillow for 2 people staying. Parking A$25 extra - but that’s for a full 24 hours. Could see Syndney Harbour Bridge from the car park (opposite the hotel). Only view from our room was of a brick wall. No (working) lift.

I stayed in the hotel for one night as it was convenient for getting to the airport. The hotel is in a busy area and there are lots of shops nearby. I had to check in late and the staff were very helpful in giving me the access codes. There were a couple of issues that spoiled the stay: 1) The room had a fridge that emitted the most horrible noise every few minutes. I don't think any normal functioning fridge would make that sound, 2) I could hear other guests talking in the corridor in the middle of the night. It was a bit inconsiderate and I didn't get good sleep.

Room was too hot, a fan is not AC. I believe the washroom in the 2nd floor wasn't maintained for 3 days, because for the last 2 days of my stay, we had no toilet paper or paper towel. It was my understanding the 2nd floor was for females only, but there was at least 3 men staying on this floor.

The property was in an excellent location for my visit to Sydney. I chose an individual room which was clean and the bedcomfortable. Toilets and showers were also clean and tidy. Close to great food options or the convenience of an inhouse kitchen.sh

I loved this property. The room was small, but great value for money in this location. We were only staying 1 night and just wanted a base. Easy walking to George Street and Circular Quay. Parking available close by. Two great cafes super close for breakfast.

One for the explorers.

It is an older establishment however it was a clean and functional room. The ensuite was small but worked effectively. If you are like me who spends 2-3 waking hours in a room, I would rather save money for food and drink. My only criticism is that the sound proofing is not very good particularly from above. There are stairs involved as well.

Had a great time at highfield! It was a super convenient location so close to central and the train stations, and it was incredible affordable for the private room that we stayed in. The staff is super nice and very accomodating to late check ins and room attending requests. It was as quiet as you can expect for a inner city room, but was super clean and comfortable. Definitely not the biggest space and the lack of an elevator could be annoying at the end of a long day but I would absolutely stay here again!
