"My friend and I stayed in a twin room with an ensuite- a nice, comfortable room for a hostel. (Some kind of soap holder would have been appreciated in the shower, though the bathroom was clean and water pressure was good!). All the accomodation in Sydney was very pricey during the weekend of the stay- given the fact, the cost of the room was reasonable. Beds were quite comfortable (double bed + trundle), there was a tv in the room (but no wifi) and the hostel is in a great location. Staff were friendly and we also appreciated the 'cinema' room, which has nightly movie screenings. There are also lockers downstairs where you can put your belongings after checkout ($4 for the first 4 hours and then $2 for the next 4 I think). The staff also helped us to book a YHA discount for the Aquarium. Unfortunately it was quite noisy on Saturday night (seemed mostly to be coming from drunks and hoons on the main road) but Sunday night was much quieter. Would stay there again if on a budget!"

"From Tank Stream hotel access to sydney CBD POI are all within 15-20 min walk. convenient shops and restaurants and bars all are around the corner. A new hotel, Bed is comfy, free mini bar, but only milk and water will be refill. The front desk manager Mooses is super friendly and helpful.Thumb Up! I saw a lot of travellers review said the room size is very small, but for me and my husband , it is a just nice size room for us and 2 luggages. There are 2 things that i dun like,1st is the plumbing issue, toilet will made sudden loud noise at the middle of the night. And the worst thing is the breakfast restaurant, is a french japanese fusion restaurant, served buffet for breakfast. i dun like the food ( it served only very very basic breakfast)and the price is just overrated. I can get a better breakfast from Opera house and in a cheaper price with wonderful view.[ ok i admitted this part a bit personal] Overall, is a nice hotel really worth to stay. Just try to avoided the breakfast restaurant. "

"Location is fantastic, in the heart of the Sydney CBD. Lift is a little slow, but I didn't mind - at least it exists and does work. Personally really enjoyed the capsule life - They're spacious enough to sit up comfortably in, and incredibly well equipped, with a host of charging sockets, light and air circulation controls, ledges for putting your stuff, and a mirror to get ready with as well. Although shower facilities were a tiny bit limited (2 stalls per floor; same for toilets) I didn't encounter a problem where I had to sit around waiting for others to be done, or anything. The lounge is well equipped as well. A thoroughly enjoyable stay, thank you! "

"when we arrived, we were greeted with a very warm welcome and the registration is very fast. although the room is quite small, we don't mind because it is clean and tidy. the service is also very good, the cleaner comes every day and make up our room nicely. the position of this hotel is very close to the city centre and by just walking for a few you can catch a free tourist bus that runs along the elizabeth street around sydney cbd. only downside is that we got room with view to another building on the back of the hotel and some narrow streets which are not very good to look at."

"1) we were able to check in before 2pm as we arrived earlier than expected. the front office staff were extremely friendly and efficient with providing us a cbd map, they would also take the initiative to google a place for us if they were not familiar with it. 2) we were staying on the 6th floor double decker bed, the size of the room would fit the bed and two cupboards for us to store our luggages it. it is recommended to bring your own locks for it. extra linen was provided as well. 3) the shared bathrooms were clean and well-lit. equipped with 2 toilets and 2 showers for users. the security of the bathrooms are good as the key card is required for entering. 4) the kitchen and dining area was very spacious and it is a good place to meet new friends too. we were able to store our products in the refrigerators and use them for making our own meal. 5) the laundry room was fully equipped with coin-operated washers, dryers and iron board. detergent powders can be bought from the front desk if needed. 6) there were 2 nights where we heard other travellers talking extremely loud and shouting during middle of the night. we also had prankster knocking on our door just for the fun of it. but no harm was done and it is tolerable for us. overall, everything was excellent and during our checkout , we were able to stand inside the front desk area to have our photos taken as a staff in 790 on george. we would definitely stay here again for our next trip in sydney "

"I booked Rendezvous Hotel a few months in advance, so I think I have got a good discount at that time, with free premium WiFi (although it turned out not easily connected). The room was spacious, clean & quite, easily controlled room temperature, has provided the exactly basics what I needed to stay in a hotel, the cups & teabags from three countries were impressive which I couldn’t stop trying how different they were. Although I have been to Sydney many times as I lived in Eastern Suburb before, I hadnot recognised it was so centrally located in Sydney Central until I transferred hotel from the West of Sydney by taking train to Central, just opposie to the Cental Station & just cross the road to get buses to other suburbs. Places of interest are easy to find way to go, both towards Town Hall & Broadway, along George St. When I tried to search my favourite & inexpenive Thai food restaurant, SATANG THAI, which turned out just opposite to Rendezvous on Quay St. Great stay for me!"

Kitchenware is complete and bathroom is always clean! Towels and toiletries are even provided in the room. Super value for the money."
