Good location, but noisy pub until Midnight on Sat

This is a well located hotel and served its purpose. However, it does have a lot of pubs around, which could be noisy, especially on weekends until past midnight. The lobby has a distinct scent of perfume or cleaning agent? that we didn’t quite like.

I've stayed here often. In the middle of the bustling theatre and Chinatown/Thaitown district of Sydney CBD, the location is perfect for those who like nightlife and excellent casual dining. It's a little oasis amongst this busy area, where your room is quiet and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. For those who like privacy, know that no-one can even enter the building, let alone reach your floor, without either having their room key or requesting entry to the building with the intercom. The only thing I don't personally like is that it has one of those TV's that is so smart, it can't receive local free-to-air channels, but 100 other channels, of course. I've stayed here maybe 20 times now. It's my preferred hotel in this area, and may well become yours.

Comfortable stay with excellent hospitality and se

I recently stayed at The Capitol Hotel Sydney and was very impressed. The location is unbeatable, right next to the Capitol Theatre and within easy walking distance of Chinatown, Darling Harbour and plenty of great dining options. The hotel has been beautifully refurbished with modern, stylish décor and clever touches that give it a boutique feel. Rooms are compact but very well designed and spotless, with handy tech features like streaming options and in-room tablets. What really stood out was the service and hospitality – staff were warm, attentive and genuinely helpful, making the stay feel seamless and welcoming. A couple of small points: some may find the rooms on the smaller side and the in-room dining menu is a little limited, but overall the value for money is excellent. I’d highly recommend The Capitol Hotel Sydney for anyone visiting the theatre or looking for a clean, modern and friendly base in the heart of the city.

The hotel itself was very nice, clean, and comfortably furnished. I elected to stay a Friday night in the cbd as I had a scheduled event early in the morning the next day and didn't wish to travel in from home on the day. Our room was on the second floor and was unfortunately directly over top of a bar which was blasting its music loudly until at least 1am. This is no fault of the hotel, but it makes it very hard to enjoy your stay and feel fresh for the event the next morning.

Clean and convenient hotel

The room appears clean but is quite small. No hangers or place to hang clothing. Bathroom trash can is too small and probably better without the swinging lid. I wish the outlet plug is not over the toilet. It seems so unsanitary for cords to touch the toilet. The front desk is always very professional. The place is very convenient and accessible to public transportation.

Early Arrival & the 5 Star Service begun 👏👏👏

To be greeted by Duty Manager Thomas at 08:30 with a welcoming smile was just what we needed after a long flight, not expecting to check in but Thomas apologised not being able to to check us in due to a Full House the previous night which we totally understandable Thomas kindly offered to look after are luggage after we had a rest in the lounge area & to stay as long as was need When we were returned later in the day again a warm greeting from Team members Will & PuPut Was impressed with Alex Kiwi Mereana Finally thanks to the Breakfast Crew We would have no hesitation in recommending The Capitol & look forward to retuning on our next visit to Sydney Location, Quietness Safety also help to give it 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ +

Such a perfect spot if seeing a show and traveling a long way from home! We were concerned we wouldn’t get parking but managed to get a spot. The security was good being in such a busy spot in the city, I felt safe. The Hotels aesthetic is gorgeous, moody and dramatic - perfect for next to the theatre.
