“good experience”

Hotel 59

4 of 5 stars
St. Catharines, Ontario
May 13, 2008

We found this hotel very clean and the location well situated for walking to all the major attractions in Sydney (Opera House, bridge, the Rocks, botanic gardens). Although Kings Cross may not have the best reputation, we felt quite safe and our room was very quiet. The breakfasts are good and the owner, George, goes out of his way to be helpful. We got the last room available, #7, which is a standard double and rather small for two people. However, I did see some of other rooms which were a much more comfortable size. The price of all the rooms is very reasonnable.

“Very good value”

Hotel 59

4 of 5 stars
Britain
May 3, 2008

Really enjoyed my 4 day stay here. Very handy location-about a 5 minute walk away from the Tube.

The owner was really friendly and cooks a lovely breakfast!! You can choose what you want in their cafe underneath the hotel.

Would def recommend to friends and would stay there again next time I visit Sydney.

Felt safe here as a lone traveller-more than I did in the other hotel I stayed in during my stay in Sydney (O'Malleys)

    • Disliked — The hairdryer would cut out alot and would have felt a bit more safer if the window had a good look onit but no big worries

“A Brilliant Week”

Hotel 59

5 of 5 stars
London
Apr 24, 2008

We were pleasantly surpised to find such a comfortable hotel in the heart of Sydney at very reasonable rates.
The room was basic but very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We especially loved the shower!!!
There was a full choice of breakfasts in the little cafe downstairs.
George was extremely helpful with advice on bus routes etc.
We would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return at some future date.

“Great”

Hotel 59

4 of 5 stars
Chicagoland, IL
Apr 20, 2008

For the price, $100 AUD, this hotel was terrific. It was an interesting location and just 2 blocks from the subway station. George makes a nice breakfast and there are 2 laundromats nearby, once next door and one across the street. We also found it far enough away from the partiers to be quiet.
Thumbs up!

“Great value good location”

Hotel 59

Apr 10, 2008

Stayed here on our last 3 nights in Australia before moving on to NZ. Great value B&B. Rooms are small and reminded us of London type B&Bs with random furniture. George "the owner" is very "laconic" but has a dry sense of humour once he opens up! The plus points for this place are cost, location and I would rate the breakfasts (with a great selection) as one of the best in our 3 month trip. The Kings Cross area has a bit of a reputation and although we saw a few undesirables we never felt threatened and enjoyed the buzz of the nightlife. Its not 5* but you are not paying 5* prices so if you are looking for somewhere covenient to get your heads down and explore the city then this is as good as anywhere.
