We stayed here for a few days in October 2011. First surprise was when the cab pulled up at a pub. We weren't sure if we were at the right place as there was not one sign indicating that accommodation was available. We made ourselves known at the bar and the manager then showed us upstairs to the accommodation, which... More

I am a regular traveler for work and have stayed in hundreds of hotels. First surprise was when the cab pulled up and it was a pub. I dragged my bags in and ask is the Crown Hotel with accommodation? The positive bar staff got the manager who took me up stairs. The halls are dark and then suddenly lit... More

I was very hesitant to book this hotel after reading the reviews, but couldn't resist the wotif price of $120 in Surry Hills! The room was a perfect size for the two of us, the decor was fantastic, and we love Surry Hills! If you are a bit of a snob when it comes to hotels, I wouldn't reccommend it... More

Firstly the rooms and Décor are great. It is 1 of 8 rooms above a pub - you don’t hear anything fantastic sound proofing, Smallest bathroom I have ever seen - ever.., The actual rooms are on the small side as well (our room anyway) but well laid out and the showers are good if you dont use your elbows...

Very noisy – take your ear plugs as it is on a cross road. Smart white timber venetians don’t keep out the street lighting at all – take your travel mask too. Very smartly fitted out but let down by poor housekeeping. Unironed and very crinkled pillowcases, home washed towels still bearing makeup marks. 3 bathmats but only one small... More

I didn't realise this was the pub when I booked - should have researched better - my fault. Still, on arrival at 830pm tried to check in and got the silent back turned treatment from someone who I assume was the shift manager in the pub. Checked in - perfectly good room. Bit noisy (its a pub on Crown St... More

I stayed at the Crown in March 2007 for a week long stay in Sydney. After the long flight from SFO I found the bathroom to be quite inviting with the large clean glass enclosed counter. After I de-grimed myself I was able to appreciate the size of the room and it's appointments. The bed was comfortable and the sheets... More

I would only recommend this property to an avid party-er who plans to go out late every night. The Surrey Hills neighborhood is a great place to stay with its laid-back vibe and trendy restaurants and boutiques. The Crown fits right in with a high style quotient and truly boutique experience (less than 10 units). The rooms are well-appointed and... More

I'm in two minds about the Crown Hotel. The room was brilliant (the interior design really is as cool as it looks on the website), but there were some oddities that detracted from what should be a luxurious boutique hotel. I wouldn't describe them as problems, just... incongruities... that make it hard to accept the "boutique" tag, especially since they... More
