Loved by The Ultimo Hotel guests
"The room was clean and had great natural light - but sooo quiet, given that we're in the heart of Haymarket."
"The room had a hairdryer, iron, bar fridge, two backless stools and bedside tables with good lamps."
"Retro-fitted double glazing kept out most of the street noise, the air conditioning worked very well in the hot weather, and was quiet at night."

“In my opinion, this heritage-listed building in Chinatown offers a blend of historical charm and modern convenience. I appreciate the pet-friendly options with courtyard rooms, alongside practical amenities like the complimentary barista coffee station. Its location makes this hotel a solid choice for those prioritizing transport links and proximity to attractions like Darling Harbour.”

I found the staff very friendly. They granted a late check-out request. our room had comfortable beds and the location was near tram lines and chinatown. i appreciated the luggage storage at the concierge desk. My suitcases waited in my room after check-in.
The bathroom door did not close properly. This offered little privacy while sharing.

decent stay overall
helpful staffgreat locationdamp smelllittle soundproofing
the staff were accommodating. the location was also good, near trams and food.
the exhaust fan in the bathroom wasn't connected, so the bathroom got steamy after every shower. i also noticed a damp smell in the room. i wondered if there was mould present. there seemed to be little soundproofing, as sounds from outside and other rooms were easily heard.

the location was convenient. it was directly across from a shopping center, and i found plenty of food options nearby. darling harbor was also within a short, ten-minute walk.
the sheets did not properly fit the bed, i noticed. housekeeping did not remake the bed , so i often woke up sleeping directly on the mattress without a protector.
