Sydney Central Hotel managed by The Ascott Limited

The hotel is very conveniently located a short walk from Central Station. Beds were extremely comfortable and rooms were spacious. Great that they offer 24hr room service, as we arrived late on an interstate train. Perfect stay to get around Sydney if you don't have a car, but parking also available next door.

The hotel has a great location - walking distance to Market City/Paddy's Market and Darling Harbour/Square/Pavillion so you will have access to great restaurants and attractions including a nice stroll through the park. The room looks a bit dated - reminds me of mid-90s hotel, the bones are good, the rooms are spacious but needed to update the furniture and add more lights, the rooms can be a bit dark.

We landed really early in the morning and was prepared to store our bags to go out exploring before check-in time, but was actually allowed to check in early since our room was available! Really appreciated it as we could get some rest after a long flight. The size of the room is very big - there was enough space to fit another bed! Definitely value for money. Location is near Central Station / Haymarket, you are basically near Chinatown which has lots of late night Asian food options (and you are only a 10 min walk from the nearest Gelato Messina!). Very accessible (around 7 - 10 min walk) location to light rail stops (Chinatown / Haymarket) and main train transit station at Central (airport connection is 15 - 20 min train ride!). From Chinatown (light rail), you are about 3 tram stops to Circular Quay, where Sydney Opera House is. From the hotel, you could walk 20 - 30 min to get into the heart of Sydney CBD and the shopping districts around Town Hall. There was also a Woolsworth Metro right round the corner (less than 5 min) and a Chemist Warehouse round the back (also about 5 min walk). We were provided with sufficient towels. Room came with a safe, iron, ironing board, hair dryer, some clothes hangers. There are two small drawers (outside of the wardrobe) that you can use. Basic amenities in the toilet were provided - hand soap, hand lotion, shampoo, conditioner.

Staff were excellent and responsive. They arranged to add a microwave to my room on request. When I reported serious issues with my original room, I was instantly moved to another one. They were very helpful with answering inquires. They also accepted a food delivery on my behalf and held it until I could pick it up. The rooms were large, with plenty of space to store and open luggage, a good size of hanging closet space, and lots of bench space in the bathroom for toiletries, etc. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Location is excellent. A short walk from central station, Darling Harbour (and Square), and both the Chinatown and Paddy's Market tram stops. It was easy to get around on public transport from the hotel or to simply walk to multiple areas of interest.

When we arrived at the hotel we were so tired from a long road trip & more or less went to sleep within 30 minutes of entering the room - The room was adequate & the bed was very clean & comfortable - Breakfast was excellent & good value for money... We did buy a club sandwich from the room service menu & it was one of the best we have had - also it is great that this hotel is well located for transport, restaurants etc; It is an older establishment.
