Definitely recommend If looking for affordable accommodation in Sydney.

the price was very reasonable; room was smallest of our 3 week trip to Aus but I expected that for a world class city. the breakfast (additional cost $25 for two including extra cappuccino) was very very good; it was also nice to eat outside (our choice...there is also seating inside)). the location is good...we could walk to the botanical gardens, opera house and the metro (subway…very close) although bearings are confusing initially, due to the shape of the harbour… avoid room 6: the shower leaks constantly and so there was mould. I took a Benadryl to sleep every night (I have allergies) and that stripped the mucus off my sinuses: I then got a head cold I surely didn't need on holiday. They need to fix the leak! George barely said hello when we arrived, which was not appreciated after 3 flights to get to Australia and then the shuttle taking us all over before dropping us off last (we were at the cheap hotel so I guess that that is why we were last). George then said “your credit card expired”. Well, 3 weeks before our arrival, I emailed Hotel 59 to tell them exactly that and to give them the new expiry date: his sister confirmed the receipt of that information…yet this was our greeting. he did help lift my suitcase up and down the steep stairs and we were able to store our luggage for a few hours on the departure date. Because the airport shuttle was so slow, we walked to the subway and took it/the train directly to airport on our departure from Sydney. This neighbourhood used to be a wild party area; no sign of that now although there are still strip joints a couple of blocks away if that’s an issue for you.…

Dear Carol from Toronto The shower was not leaking and no mould is evident if you do not turn off the water it will leak, this was evident everyday when we serviced room. We do not have any memory of your term of events at check in, regarding credit card I have checked all email correspondence and your description is slightly askew. You did send a new expiry date but this card was still declined, I apologise if you were offended with me asking for new card. Isn't that a normal check in process? We also explain before arrival we can not guarantee to drop you off and early check in, people still can stay in the room till 10.30am we can not throw out the people from the room beforehand. We did have room ready for you asap. The shuttle does drop off at all the hotels in a specific route and no it doesn't stop here last because we are a cheap hotel, on the return it picks up here then goes straight to airport. I'm glad it ended well with me carrying your bags. Thank you for your footnote at the end I hope its pleased you.

Had a great week here in October followed by a second week in November. We had stayed here for a fortnight in 2017 and were more than happy to stay here again. Comfortable family owned owned hotel, (with good WiFi), in a great location. Kings Cross Station is 5 minutes walk away a there’s plenty of restaurants nearby. Not only that, the cafe on the ground floor does a great breakfast. If and when I’m back in Sydney, I’ll definitely be back here.

This room was exactly what I needed - small, no fuss, and in a great location. Had been to Sydney many times but never stayed in the Cross, and I would easily return here. The room and bathroom were very clean, the bed was comfortable and George was very easygoing and happy to answer questions. I was able to use the communal ironing facilities (though the board could do with replacing), and sometimes the wifi didn't work in my room, but past that I was happy with my stay and would recommend!

Likes: great location (short walk to Kings Cross Station, longer but nice walk to the Harbor through the Botanical Gardens), great breakfast, quieter than expected at night (even in room facing street), strong hot shower, good price Dislikes: subpar mattress, sheets and blanket were stained, hallway smelled musty, decor is tired, WiFi is extremely spotty and often useless, our booking said “inner courtyard view” but we were overlooking the street Things to know: no elevator and rather narrow stairs

Dear Lubby2563 Thankyou for the likes, for the dislikes mattress is still in its life cycle and is medium to semi firm. Complaints are very few to none. Would have preferred to show us the stains on sheets and blanket, or were they ok to still sleep on during your stay. Did you not realise the supposed musty smell in hallways was the new wool carpets we just had installed. Anyone that has installed new wool carpet will know the distinctive smell. Yes there is no elevator or lift, to be clear again we are only 2 levels and it is already very well documented, with reasonable size luggage stairs are no problem. Room description is done by booking.com the room had a great outlook to the treelined street. Thanks George
