I had stayed at this hotel before in December 2000 and decided to book it again purely for it's location. We stayed there for 9 nights from 19th - 28th December 2005. We had a room on the 5th floor which was very dated and the hotel in general we would say needs updating. If you want a basic hotel right in the heart of Sydney and walking distance to virtually every attraction to save probably lots of money on taxi fares then yes I would probably recommend this hotel. I would consider staying there again but would definitely check out the prices of other hotels in the same location first. When we checked in we were told that we had been given an upgraded room (at no charge which is normally an extra A$30 per night) because of it's view but this view was nothing great at all and looked over the Wynward train station. Having said all that, we had a fantastic time in Sydney and hardly spent any time in the hotel anyway as there was so much to do and would definitely love to return to Sydney soon.

| "The staff were all very helpful, however I would recommend this hotel for short stay only, there was only limited storage facilities for clothes in the room ie 1 small wardrobe with no draw space. We had breakfast only one day,ate out the remainder of the stay.. This hotel is beginning to look tired. (stayed in this hotel 8 years ago, does not appear to have been upgraded since)" |

| "The location of the hotel is very good and it is just a few steps away from the station and the many bus links. It is also a short 10-15 minute walk to The Rocks,Circular Quay and the Pitt Street mall.
The general areas in the hotel are fine but the rooms are looking a litte tired and dowdy, but they are clean and do the job. Internet access is expensive and the cable tv only provides a few additional channels apart from the free to air channels." |

| "Myself and my two children spent 23 days in Australia in 5 different cities recently. After much research, we stayed in Sydney at the Menzies at the begining of our vacation AND again at the end. Although I felt the rooms were a little small, the hotel staff were very helpful, informative and quick to respond to any requests we made. We were able to check in early, very muched appreciated after flying for over 20 hours! The best thing about this hotel in my mind was that you could walk (approx. one train stop)to the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, & Aquarium, shopping at the QVB (Queen Victoria Building) movies and restaurants. Organised tours pick you up outside the hotel and the hotel is right across the street from a train (subway) stop. (No noise). As a result you do not have to rent a car or take taxis. Also across the street in the train station are shops where you can buy food & snacks (to keep expenses down) to keep in the in room mini fridge. Ask for a room facing the street, some rooms face the back lane. Would recommend this hotel." |
