This place was a dump. Stupidly tiny rooms, bad paint work with holes where the previous door had been ripped off (for who knows what!) shower was on off scalding hot and freezing cold. No kitchen facility only a jug and cheap tea and coffee, nocould only fill the jug up in the shower because the basin was too small.... More

Whatever you do, stay away from the Econo Lodge in Sydney, Australia! They withdrew 5000 aus dollars from our account/creditcard (after we paid for the hotel) and we still have no recieved our full return! We dicvovered the mistake - not the hotel! After corresponding with the hotel via mail (aprox.30 mails) and them promising our last night free (because... More

This was a glorified pub room. Photos on hotel website are misleading. Negatives: - barely large enough to fit a single bed - TV didn't work - dripping nosie from the bathroom (couldn't locate the source) - wasn't intially supplied the reverse cycle aircon remote (it magically appeared in the room when I had gone out - and had been...

We stayed here for three days last week. It's fairly central, about a mile+ from Circular Quay, where the Opera House and ferries are located. It looked fine on the web site, but the reality was much different. Where to start... First of all, there is a pub on the ground floor, supposedly a restaurant, but not open for breakfast... More

My wife and I have used Choice Hotels regularly the past several years. I have never been as disappointed with one as with the Econo Lodge Sydney South.

The room was old and it smelled terrible. The Internet connection did not work in my room (hotel staff old me that I happened to be in the one room that the connection didn't work). The live band each night was loud and terrible. The elevator didn't work. My advice, don't stay here!!

This hotel is located on the 2nd floor above a bar and 'event 'room. There is no front desk operation overnight. A live band was booked into the event room on the 2nd night of our stay. The noise was unbelievable. The bass guitar actually vibrated the bed! There was no one on the front desk until morning, when the... More

When lookng for a hotel I base my selection on the following: 1) Cheap and Comfortable 2) Pleasant staff and environment 3) Location and accessibility 4) Hotel facilities and resources 5) Home away from home comforts My experience at this hotel was pleasantly surprising!! I come from a five star hotel background as a guest services agent as well as... More

We were not planning to stay that night in Sydney, but problems with our flights made us look for an hotel while we were at the airport. The location was good, and customer service and the room were excellent. But the price was too high and the entrance was really ugly, a risky narrow path that takes you to a... More
