I liked the location of the hotel. Very central. One minor issue that I had with the room was that there was no milk provided for coffee when I arrived in the evening. Luckily, I had brought some extra milk from home with me so was able to make a cup of coffee when I woke up in the morning.

The hteol was fabulous as was the staff - 1940s decor, even hard wood nightstands. However, and this was NOT the hotel's fault. lots of construction going on outside, in front of and down the street. It made it hard for Uber pick-up and drop off.

Review: Mixed Experience with Room for Improvement
I recently stayed at this hotel and while I was happy with the service and the quick check-in, the hotel itself is quite old and things didn’t work as expected. The air conditioning had no heating option, and the bathroom had no working exhaust fan. The lifts were also very slow, and we weren’t informed by the front desk that we needed to use our key to access our floor, which was frustrating to figure out on our own. That said, the stay was generally comfortable and the location is great, but it’s not one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at, nor will it be my first choice when visiting downtown again.

Room very small, but clean and neat. It would have been lovely to have had a window that could be opened to increase airflow, the zircon is not quite the same. Quiet environment despite the busy street below.

Loved the Art Deco vibe, helpful staff, clean amenities. I also love the fact you can open the window, for fresh air instead of using the air-conditioning. Area adjacent to property is being renovated/re built so it is currently a bit noisy. I expect thst will settle as the works are completed. Its certainly not enough to put us off from staying at the Castlereagh again.

The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable, however, the air con was loud and we couldn’t open the windows for fresh air. I think bottled water should be free. Breakfast was very nice but parking was expensive…….$70 for 16 hours. Overall, I would stay again. Thank you for your service.

I only gave 4 stars for area because of the works going on in Sydney. Not the hotel’s problem. Fit my budget, felt safe.Price was reasonable, with very helpful staff. Beds were comfortable and the building is a nod to Sydney’s (European) past architecturally. This is a hidden gem. Will definitely stay again.

Convenience and value
We have used Castlereagh Boutique Hotel a number of times now and find it good value overall. The location is very convenient to most attractions in the City and generally walkable with the option of public transport nearby. Don't expect modern touches within the hotel confines but do expect refinement and a touch of an elegant past. We generally arrive much earlier than the published check-in time but really appreciate the ability to leave our bags in safe storage while we start exploring. This hotel is now our "go to" place in Sydney and used by many of our friends and family.
