“Hotel Hacienda's Mexican-inspired decor offers a vibrant alternative to Sydney's standard accommodations, and its location near Redfern station makes getting around the city easy. I found the rooms compact, but the comfortable beds and efficient air conditioning are welcome after a day of exploring. For budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location and don't mind some noise, this could be a solid option.”

The shared facilities were very lovely. I found the staff amazingly friendly and helpful. The bathroom was the best (ever!).
My room window faced the train tracks. The trains run all day and night. The hotel room doors are heavy, and they bang constantly.
