A very central location. Public transport was close.
We got upgraded to a family room and early check in. We really appreciated that. Excellent location, close to China Town which offers lots of eateries. The only let down was their telephone didn't work. I have to go to the reception whenever I need anything. Will stay here again.
Close to theatre we attended and restaurants. Cheap room rate inc breakfast and parking which was great but room needs some maintenance as a bit dirty in places and face washers in bathroom would have been nice.
The hotel itself was very good but getting the car back from the car park to the front of the hotel was a nightmare. I think that's just the nature of Sydney streets, though! We also had trouble finding the hotel driving in from Melbourne. Luckily the staff were so helpful and directed us on the phone.
Wow, I was so surprised how convenient Furama Hotel was to everything we needed to go to.
The Hotel was very clean, excellent bedding and the staff are amazing.
So many amazing restaurants for fabulous food, excellent shopping and very close to entertainment plus a short walk for me from Central Station.
Thank you so much Furama Hotel, we will be back soon. 💖

This hotel is a rebranded Holiday inn. It’s a bit tired/dated, but it represents good value for Sydney hotel prices. Amazing location.

Not worth the hefty price for the not so good rooms. Not so clean carpets, stinking refrigerator, and too small rooms. On top of that, parking can be pain in the neck, it’s far away in a separate paid parking building.
Overall our stay a furama was lovely. The king room was huge with city views. We had breakfast every morning and there was a big variety, something for everyone! They also changed the options daily for those staying for multiple days. The staff were all very polite and helpful.
The only downside of our stay was the cleanliness of the room. When we arrived overall it looked fine however all the mirrors still had dirty smudge marks on. We stayed for 6 nights so we did opt to have daily housekeeping. We had a lovely woman the first few days who did a great job, everything looked fresh when we returned, like we'd first checked in! However, the last few days we noticed we had a different member of staff and the standards did slip. The coffee mugs weren't changed out for clean ones, nothing seemed to have been neatened up bar the bed & the amenities weren't refreshed!
