Kirketon Hotel - Darlinghurst

I absolutely love staying at this hotel. The rooms are smallish (especially the standard rooms) but the furnishings, cleanliness, amenities and bathroom, not to mention the location and price, certainly make this hotel worth staying at.It is very central and only 15 mins walk to the centre of Sydney. Located right near some of Sydney's best cafes and bars. The best cocktail bar, Eau De Vie, is located at the back on the ground floor.

Where do I start? The service was terrible and lacked knowledge. Room was grossly misleading online compared to in person. Its tired looking, needs URGENT renovations and a decent clean! There were missing tiles in the bathroom, dusty tops + toilet paper holder and moldy carpet. Ended up cancelling my booking once getting to my room and organised new accommodation. Don't waste your money here!!!

Location is great. King's Cross is just a few minutes' walk away. If you like to run, you can walk to Hyde Park and Westfield Tower in 20 minutes. Even the Harbor Bridge and the Opera are within walking distance. Although you should be a little fitter for that. You can reach everything by taxi in 10 minutes for a few dollars. A taxi to the airport is about 60-70A $. The welcome was very warm and everything went quickly. Room was super small, very comfortable bed, "walk-in closet with safe and minibar, iron and ironing board. Small desk and bathroom with tub and toilet. Sink without plug, you have to run the water to shave. Air conditioning, but it's not good Works. TV hangs on the wall, almost under the ceiling at an angle so that you can see from the bed, but in reality the position was due to the size of the room. Room was clean in the bathroom were a few details that did not work or with Armor tape were stuck on. High quality shower gels and soap in the bathroom. The area is not very quiet, you should definitely know that the hotel cannot do anything for that. So if you are looking for something quiet in Sydney, then this is not the place.

Great location - the Kings Cross Coke sign is at the end of the street Very noisy, not that clean and the staff were very inexperienced

As a well travelled person it's the first time I've ever been downgraded! Upon checkin I was informed that me booked room choice was unavailable due to there "stuff up" and my booked room class was unavailable. Not impressed and ended up with a totally unacceptable room!!! Had many a nice stay at this hotel several times before and never a problem. Shall I return that's the big question!!!!
