Castlereagh Boutique Hotel Sydney

Old converted building. Bathroom tiny, noisy plumbing can hear water in adjacent rooms; only one window looking out of always-noisy airshaft, so no view and must be kept closed. Decent climate control. Decent wifi, which room card says must be paid for but they gave it to me free. Staff ranges from friendly to surly. Decent breakfast in stately dining room; did not try dinner. A bit hard to find as entrance is small and major sign says it is a masonic lodge. Location great for upscale shopping; 20 minute walk to Circular Quay.

the hotel was nice, perfect location. the staff were very helpful in finding my way around the city, and getting a taxi. I would stay there again

This is an older hotel in the heart of the city, the rooms are small but very clean and comfortable. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. Only bad this is no help for luggage and cafe and dining rooms not open enough hours.

Had a very pleasant stay over our 4 nights. Location,staff & room cleanliness were excellent. Room was a touch on the small side & with adjoining building there was no natural light into room. Hotel reception, lounge & bar area very pleasing with olde world feature. Overall we were happy with the hotel & would use it again.

If you are heading to Sydney and planning on spending the majority of your time in the hotel room, the Castlereagh Boutique isn't for you. If you're looking for a great place to in Sydney's City Centre to set up a base of operations for exploring the city you'd be hard pressed to find somewhere better. The Castlereagh is about a 5 minue walk from the Town Hall, St James, Martin Place, Museum train stations and the main shopping areas of Castlereagh Street. Its a 20-25 minute walk to Circular Quay and Sydney Opera House. If you're on a budget or missing the States there are 2 Subways, a McDonalds, Starbucks and a host of Australian eatries within minutes. I would certainly stay there again.

Stayed here 3 nights. Decor is a little dated, but clean. My bathroom was very small which was fine for solo me, but that may be an issue for larger parties. The location is convenient: within walking distance of major tourist sites, numerous shopping galleries, and even Darling Harbour if you're reasonably fit. I didn't try the breakfast, so "no comment" there. Other hotels closer-in were more pricey on such short notice. So C-R is a good value.

The "Boutique" in the title is just misleading. Beyond location positives, there is nothing else as a reason to recomend it. The worst of all was the noise coming from the construction site just next door where work started as eartly as 07:00 AM. There were two other strange details "build in" the hotel structure - the first is that room size where the hight is twice (or more) biger than any other of demensions and second: the window glass is reinforced and not trasparent (at least - no idea what is the weather outside). Most of other hotel's details were pretty much usual stuff.

Room was small with a full size bed. Room and hotel were very clean. No view from room but window can be opened. Hotel is very convienent to public transportation but yet on a quiet street. Several inexpensive and good places to eat within a block away. If I was spending alot of time in my room, I wouldn't stay there because of room size ,but it is a good place to sleep and get out to see the sights. Room wifi was free. Overall good value.

We had a very comfortable premier room. Amenities were all there. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to a friend. 15min walk to the harbour front, past shops galore.! Everything on your doorstep.!

This hotel is historic or antiquated kind. The room size was barely enough to move around. i found this place very expensive for what i was offered. I would not recommend this place. Having said the hotel is located in the Sydney CBD which is a really great place to live while being in Sydney
