Will definitely pick this when I return back since I am already planning on a return trip back hopefully by next year."

"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."

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

"The hotel is new so the plus side is that the sheets, pillows, towels are nice and new. Because it only opened in March 2019 I am writing down the details. We stayed in a 20sqm twin bed room. Lighting was bright enough and bathroom has a small-ish rain shower. Shower pressure is good. Yes it doesn't have toiletries and the fixed wall shampoo and body wash- needs to be changed. Hotels usually go for essential oil based body stuff these days. Theirs smelled like an anti-dandruff shampoo. Why stay? For the same price or even more in Sydney you would get a lot more dated accomodation. Their pillows were a darn sight better than the various 5 star hotel feather pillows and I have stayed in the 5 star hotels around Sydney CBD. I had less noise bar the slammed doors in the corridors than other hotels. The renovations on floor 5-7- didn't hear it as we were out. I had young toddlers that took the airport link and it's exit 1 to QVB. Walk up and cross the road and you're there. Easy."

"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!"

"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! "

"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 "

"CBD hotel was perfect for us. The room was a little bit smallish tify and clean, very good value for the money, so close to all the activities we wanted to do on our long weekend around Sydney CBD ,the staff were friendly and attended to all our request promptly. The only negative was we couldn't extend our stay for half a day as our flight was in the evening at 8:00 they wanted to charge full price for the room for 6 hours of use,but all around very satisfied with our stay at this hotel."
