Sydney Park Hotel

Friendly staff, clean and stylish rooms. Shared bathroom is nicely set up. The best news is that there is a pub downstairs. Traffic noise may upset some, but for a cheap and cheerful place to stay in a great part of town, this is a fine option.

Booked in for a couple of weekend visits en-route to visiting friends in Blue Mountains in March 2024, on advice of some friends who used to live in Sydney. Check in was easy and very friendly, walk into bar and they seem to know exactly why you are there (maybe it's the big travel bags huh?). We stayed int eh KING room, to give us some space, and loved the space we had for bags and hanging spaces in wardrobe. ON 2 stays, we got 2 different, but similar rooms, Rm 3 and Rm 4. Rm 3 is the corner on King Street/Logan Lane, with a great cross breeze when all 3 windows open, but a little more noisy as it faces the main road intersection. Room 4 just as spacious facing St Peters train station, maybe a little more quiet. Windows open in either room certainly showed how 'downtown' this place is, bustling road and train noise in both. Ear plugs supplied in both rooms. If you are noise sensitive, maybe another hotel a better choice, we didn't notice. Transport VERY simple with St Peters immediately over Lord Street only a few meters from the door. For 2 of us from SYD airport it was cheaper to UBER (AUD22) than use train (AUD19 each!).Offer a good discount for booking direct (as has become normal) in owner-operated hotels globally, so give them an email/call to beat any online rate.

I was amazed at how well the rooms have been done up! I booked this room last minute on my way overseas. As I had a 7am international flight. Super easy check in. Right next to St Peter’s station. As it’s attached to pub, you can have a meal or drink there, or head up King St. I had a shared bathroom with private room. It was extremely clean with complementary water, snacks and ear plugs. As it’s next to train line some might find it noisey, but usually after 10pm not many trains go by. If you’re going to airport, it’s so close and easy. I paid $21 for an Uber at 4.30 and was there in 11 min. I have stayed at airports closer to airport before but the benefit of this was it was a lot cheaper, I could go out on king st for dinner and even if you stay at airport motels that are closer, you still pay for a shuttle that’s about $15. The whole accomodation area was very clean, the bathroom was simple art deco but clean. Would happily stay again for a transit visit.

We booked a superior double room and were very pleasantly surprised by the spacious area. It was right over the main dining area and fronted on to King Street, yet it was incredibly quiet (I assume double-glazed windows). The bed was king-sized and very comfy with plenty of great fluffy pillows. The weather was quite warm and unfortunately, the ceiling fan was the only means of cooling the room but I suppose another fan may have been available if we had requested it. I had overlooked the fact that it was a shared bathroom, but it turned out to be quite close by and it was OK. My wife and I had no waiting times to use either the shower or toilet (both were exceptionally clean and well-maintained). The food in the restaurant was huge servings and delicious. High 5 to Peggy who checked us in and was cheerfully welcoming and very helpful.
