Crystalbrook Albion

The location was absolutely beautiful. Surry Hills has amazing bars and restaurants and is so close to everything you would need in Chinatown, Sydney CBD, Circular Quay etc. It is also right next to Central train station, and very connected to buses and trams, but everything I wanted to do was a nice walking distance anyway. The room (The Cosy Room) was gorgeous and much more spacious than I thought it would be, including having a completely separate bathroom with a door (the photos didn't look like this would be the case) and felt very luxurious. It also has lots of character, as the old building was once a convent.

We stayed as part of our honeymoon. When we arrived at 10am our room wasn't ready yet, but within an hour, we got a text that it was ready. When we came back, the agent at reception told us that they were upgrading us to their biggest suite since it was our honeymoon! The suite was so beautiful, and I was so touched by this gesture, I nearly started crying when we entered the suite. The suite was so spacious and comfortable, with the biggest soaking tub I have ever used, and a huge washroom complete with a double shower. It was a truly luxurious stay to kick off our honeymoon and we were very sad to leave.

Location is great for fantastic cafes and restaurants in Surry Hills. Free pastries in the morning was a lovely touch. Rooftop is a gear spot to relax. Staff were very friendly. Rain water style shower head.

Loved the location, loved the staff, the honour bar. We stayed for Alliance stadium but light rail was there for cbd and train to airport.

We booked this hotel to enjoy 3 nights in Sydney after moving to Australia from the UK, before travelling on to our new home. It was such a fantastic welcome to Australia, especially after 27+ hours of travelling. The staff were incredibly friendly, had great recommendations for things to do during our stay and even dropped off a surprise bottle of fizz in our room for my birthday. The hotel itself is gorgeous, we loved the decor and would take our complimentary tea/coffee and pastries up to the roof terrace every morning. We weren't sure what to expect from Sydney but Surry Hills is a fantastic location with lots of bars/restaurants to enjoy and had a really lively feel. We will definitely want to stay again the next time we visit Syndey.
