Great spot, refreshed hotel with friendly staff
Great location with Darling Harbour and Paddy's Market on your doorstep. Friendly staff were very helpful and accommodating. Our room was recently refreshed and it looks like other parts of the hotel are getting updated.

Location is perfect on every aspect. Room (single) was all you need and although lacking in cupboards, was well laid out for an overnight stay. Recommended.

We had a great time with The Ultimo hotel. The staff are very helpful. Our room is cleaned every day. The hotel is couple of minutes walking distance to train central stations, bus stops and light rail stations, China town, Paddy's market and tons of restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you to all the staff.

Great!
Easy, friendly service, convenient, clean and had everything we needed for an overnight in central Sydney. A little noisy for folks who aren't used to sleeping in the city, but the comfortable bed made up for it. Thanks!

Staff were very good and welcoming. The location was pretty good as well, short walk to George St and shopping centre. I stayed there with my dog, and it was good. One problem was this particular room was above a shop that has pumps or compressors running 24/7. Didn't notice it too much but still noticeable.
