Royal Hotel Sydney

Superb

Liked: It is rare that a hotel exceeds your expectations. We chose this hotel in part because it was cheaper than most others in town and in part because it was somewhere different to stay to all the big chain hotels. It turned out to be a little gem: beautiful, historic hotel with comfortable, well-appointed rooms and bathrooms. The owner(s) clearly made a real effort to preserve the hotel and chose the decorations well. It felt odd when we were asked to take off our shoes at the entrance, but once you see the beautiful wooden floors and feel (some of) the thick carpets, you understand why. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Sydney!

Superb

Liked: The location was excellent. The rooms were clean and I loved the vintage touches in the rooms. The hotel had lots of character. We didn’t get the continental breakfast however which we thought was included in the price.

Liked: Everything. The art work was amazing. Loved being able to read the Cape Breton Post in the beautiful front room.

Had a great, comfortable stay!

Liked: Staff were lovely, breakfast was amazing, rooms were sweet and cozy, and the stay all together was great. The building itself is decorated beautifully and felt very peaceful and relaxing.We'll definitely be returning here next time we're in Sydney!
Disliked: Minor things that just come with it being an old building: walls are quite thin so you can hear people in the hallway pretty easily (but there is a quiet time posted and we really didn't have any issues during our stay), and there isn't much parking available (again, we were fine for our visit, but may have had trouble if it was busier). Neither thing is a major turn-off for me though so will still be visiting again when I'm next in Sydney!
