Granville Hotel

Classic Charm with a Modern Touch Near Sydney's Top Venues

Granville Hotel blends 19th-century character with freshly renovated rooms, offering a convenient and affordable base for music fans. Located just steps from Granville Train Station, it's an easy hop to Rosehill Gardens or a quick 16-minute drive to ANZ Stadium. With free WiFi, comfy rooms, and a friendly pub downstairs, it's a no-fuss home for your concert adventures.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its unbeatable access to public transport makes getting to gigs a breeze—no need to worry about parking or rideshares after the encore. Granville Station is right outside your door, making late-night returns quick and safe. Rooms are modern yet simple, and the vibe is laid-back, so it's easy to wind down after a big night. While check-in starts at 2pm, the flexible train connections help if you're arriving late or leaving early.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a low-key, budget-friendly base
• Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist at ANZ Stadium
• Couples making a weekend of it with dinner and a show
• Fans who want a quieter post-concert recovery space without the heavy price tag
• Budget-conscious music lovers who value location over frills

Food and Drink Options

The on-site bar is a great place to grab a drink and shoot some pool before or after a show. While there’s no formal restaurant, you're just steps from Granville’s local food scene, including the iconic El Jannah—famous for its charcoal chicken and open late. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar fridge in your room means you can keep snacks and drinks on hand. Breakfast isn’t offered on-site, but cafes and takeaway spots are nearby.

Nightlife Options

Live music isn’t a regular feature at the hotel, but the bar downstairs offers a casual hangout for pre- or post-show drinks. For more action, hop on the train to explore bars and late-night lounges in Parramatta or Sydney CBD—both easy to reach even after dark.

What People Say

Guests love the value for money and praise the hotel’s easy access to public transport. Many mention the clean, modern rooms and the charm of staying in a historic building. The bar gets good reviews for its friendly staff and relaxed vibe, and El Jannah is a recurring favorite for late-night bites.

Areas for Improvement

Shared bathrooms aren’t everyone’s preference, especially after a long night out, so be prepared. Housekeeping only comes a few times a week, which might not suit longer stays. And while the rooms are renovated, some are compact—pack light if you’re sharing.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert and want a convenient, affordable stay with easy transport and good local eats, Granville Hotel hits the right notes.
