Hotel Holiday Lodge (Sydney, Australia)

Reviewers described the staff at the hotel as very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Staff helped guests to arrange day trips and provided information on what to see and do in and around Sydney.

A common theme amongst reviewers was that this property represented good value for money in central Sydney where prices can be inflated and out of the budget travellers reach.

The central location of the hotel was by far and away the most talked about thing across reviews. Guests said they liked that the hotel was close the famous Landmarks at Sydney Harbour and it was easy to catch public transport to visit local attractions further afield.

Guests not impressed by the hotel commented that because of the standard of accommodation and the age of the hotel, they felt that the hotel had more of a hostel feel about it. Guests complained it was not very clean, had basic amenities, it had no air conditioning and no parking.

Guests complained via their reviews about the lack of basic maintenance around the hotel with many commenting that they expereinced broken TV's, blown lightbulbs, leaks in the ceiling, broken fans and broken blinds that needed immediate attention.

Guests reported smelling a few unidentified smells during their stay at this hotel whilst others commented that the smells were definitely damp and musty. Guests also thought that after years of being smoke-friendly the hotel had not been able to get rid of the stale cigarette smell.
