Great little spot in the centre of Haymarket. Extremely convenient to get places, and a very reasonable price too! Staff were brilliant. My only mild gripe was the noise from inside the building, I think it needs a wee bit more soundproofing.

The interior design was lovely, while the room was small the colours used and the way the room had been done up made it feel luxurious for the price. Bed was comfortable, bathrooms were clean, entire hotel had a lovely feel about it.

Great Chinatown hotel, directly opposite Paddy’s Market. Rooms have been nicely renovated and well sound proofed. Value for money. In-house laundry is convenient and reasonably priced at $6 to wash and dry a load. Staff are friendly and helpful. Many dining and shopping options nearby and two supermarkets near the hotel. Easy transport options to get around Sydney and only 5 minutes walk to Central Station. Facilities rating is lower as the elevator was out of service for some time, due to it being replaced. Only suggestion would be that a microwave in the room, or a shared common microwave would be useful.

Busy area but a great buzz. Really central with great local transport links minutes away. Great base to explore Sydney if you don't want to splash out on high end hotel. Single room small but suited me fine for 3 nights. Lift was being refurbished. Young staff excellent

Cannot wait to stay here again

Fantastic. Issue to a recent injury I had to use a walker and the staff were fantastic at finding me a room on the first floor because the lifts were not in use. The staff were great at h carrying the walker up and down the stairs when I needed to go out and were just lovely. The room was great and quiet and had high ceilings and a really comfortable bed and pillows. I will stay here again.

Soundproofing was a little bad at times with people slamming doors (obviously not the hotels fault) and the karaoke next door was quite loud on the weekend but all in all it was a lovely hotel with extremely kind staff!

I recently stayed at the Ultimo Hotel, and while the property itself was nice, my experience at check-in left a lot to be desired. Upon arrival, I was met with an unwelcoming attitude from one of the front desk staff members. I was treated with impatience and rudeness. Was lied to, that our credit card was declined, but all it was, was that first transaction was missing the credit card surcharge. Steer clear of the tall blonde working at check in. Rest of the staff was nice, but pray you don’t have to deal with the lady we dealt with.

The Ultimo is currently undergoing huge renovations. They are adding a third floor! This means putting a crane in the lift well, the only place it can go, and the lift is out of action for the entire duration of the building. This is listed as "months" but in all likelihood will be longer. For two people having had knee replacement surgery it was a struggle to climb to the 1st floor. There was no mention of this that I could see on the wotif website when making the booking. The property overall was good, but this let it down - at least as far as I was concerned. (I wonder if anyone will get in touch with regards to this feedback).
