Had booked to stay here for the last few nights in Sydney expecting a quality boutique hotel. Room was tiny which was fine but decor was tired and a bit tacky. Bathroom needed a major overhaul with missing tiles, dirt, grime and the rain shower left little to be desired'. Dissapointing as the place gets a spot in the Sydney... More

We were a bit hesitant about booking initially for our weekend getaway given some of the other negative reviews, but decided to book an executive room and were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The service at the front desk was quick and hassle free, reception was also most helpful in setting up some parking for us prior to our arrival... More

1. Reservations not in order We made a booking for two people, but they arranged for a room meant for one that was way too small with a super single bed. We asked to change to a larger room and had to pay an additional A$20 per night. 2. Room defects, design issues (See photos) The 'rain' shower was more... More

I'm actually halfway through my week-long stay and it has just been a really "meh" experience. I made a reservation for 2 adults, not knowing how big the rooms were. When I got here, they dumped the both of us in a room so small, we barely had any place to put our suitcases. Furthermore, the bed was a double.... More

My room was small (which was fine as I was alone) but I would not recommend for a couple, definitely not for more than one night. The acoustics between rooms are incredibly poor as I could hear everything from the room above and adjoining rooms. There was also continual banging which could have been the water pipes turning on and... More

We stayed at the Kireton for 4 nights in a row and then 1 night a few days later. Plus points: comfortable rooms, very comfy beds, friendly and helpful staff, good and interesting location not far by public transport from the main tourist areas.

Stayed at this place last weekend. Rooms are small but if you're touring, that's irrelevant because you're not there much. It's 1-2 suburbs out of the city, but close to King's Cross. Other than that it does the job, definitely a good option for budget travellers looking for hotel-level security.
