Great boutique style property, like a great big house with rooms and en-suites. Great older style hotel with lovely interiors, however it is in need of an upgrade, particularly the bathrooms, due to mould and flaky plaster etc. Cleanliness is also lacking in both the bathrooms and bedrooms. On our arrival, we booked a transfer to the airport for our Sunday checkout and when we went to confirm on the Saturday, we were told by another staff member, that they don't do checkouts on a Sunday. Even with these issues, we would probably stay again, as I like a small style hotel, staff are lovely and it's in a great location.

Just fabulous!

Love the location, the quirkiness, the team and the building. Even though the furniture is now a little tired, it is still much nicer than your standard cookie cutter hotel design. Very welcoming and accommodating. Can’t wait to visit again once refurbished! Thanks Team Medusa for a great stay

Close to CBD. If walking back to Hotel, be advised it is all uphill to Darlinghurst from CBD. We loved the super comfortable bed and the luxury Aesop body & hand wash liquid soap.

Loved the interior of the hotel ( although the style was in need of some updating), overall very comfortable. I was in a large room on the ground floor. Be aware that it’s an old building with creeks and noises so ear plugs if you are sensitive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the position was perfect.

Sydney at its best . 😊

Perfect . Top location in a safe area , lots of great restaurants and cafes . Easy access from airport by train , and to the city by bus, train or a 20 minute walk . Hotel is in a beautiful, large terrace . Very welcoming reception staff , who escorted me to my room , 206.... and what a room . First floor at the front , full width of the terrace with a balcony overlooking the street . Contemporary , comfortable , bespoke furniture and fittings . I turned the aircon off , and with plenty of fresh air through the louvred french doors , I had the best night's sleep . I had the enjoyed the experience at the Medusa Hotel , and look forward to my next stay . Thanks guys . 😊
