Great boutique style property, like a great big house with rooms and en-suites. Great older style hotel with lovely interiors, however it is in need of an upgrade, particularly the bathrooms, due to mould and flaky plaster etc. Cleanliness is also lacking in both the bathrooms and bedrooms. On our arrival, we booked a transfer to the airport for our Sunday checkout and when we went to confirm on the Saturday, we were told by another staff member, that they don't do checkouts on a Sunday. Even with these issues, we would probably stay again, as I like a small style hotel, staff are lovely and it's in a great location.

Just fabulous!

Love the location, the quirkiness, the team and the building. Even though the furniture is now a little tired, it is still much nicer than your standard cookie cutter hotel design. Very welcoming and accommodating. Can’t wait to visit again once refurbished! Thanks Team Medusa for a great stay

Close to CBD. If walking back to Hotel, be advised it is all uphill to Darlinghurst from CBD. We loved the super comfortable bed and the luxury Aesop body & hand wash liquid soap.

Loved the interior of the hotel ( although the style was in need of some updating), overall very comfortable. I was in a large room on the ground floor. Be aware that it’s an old building with creeks and noises so ear plugs if you are sensitive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the position was perfect.

Best Sydney home base

Wow!! Can I give TEN stars?! What a way to end an epic 8week journey around NZ and Oz. Tommy is the most gracious host. And all the staff are knowledgeable about the area, offering specific things to do and places to see, especially great restaurants. So glad this was my home base in Sydney. Telling all my friends, and will definitely be back.
