Excellent

The Ultimo was a perfect spot for us as we arrived in Sydney for a few days from the US. The location was in a neighborhood that had restaurants open late and was easily walkable. Mass transit was very easy to access. The room was clean and comfortable. We would easily stay there again.
My room (rm no 202) was next to the staircase on the top level. There was construction work taking place on the stairs, which started at 7 a.m. and woke my family up every morning. We couldn’t get the rest we expected.
In addition, although the room appeared tidy, we found some cockroaches, and the towels had some stains.
Early Morning Noise and Unexpected Pests
The customer service was excellent with friendly happy staff to welcome us . Room was lovely and clean . Bed was super comfortable . We were upgraded on arrival for some reason with no extra cost . So close to Central, Darling Harbour China town and everything else in the centre of Sydney .. fantastic food on your doorstep. Great old building made modern and super comfortable .
It was a little difficult with a small tired 5 year old going up and down the stair due to no lift and the room was so tiny that we had to eat on the bed causing more laundry. But I have been going there since 1992 due to its location but they used to be much roomier and easy to get around now they are very small and tight.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
Service upon departure was non- existent.
No provision in the accesble bathroom to clean up water due to wet room layout, the accessable shower (closest to the windows didnt supply hot water for some reason)
Stayed here many times over the past 10 years, and this is the first time that we have been disappointed.
Staff were excellent. Room faced onto very noisy street at night ( car racing) & unfortunately hotel undergoing renovations ( jack hammers, builders noise). We were advised of this AFTER our booking was made
I stayed in a very small room with a single bed. It was tiny, but adequate. Very convenient location. The lift wasn’t in operation, but the staff were very happy to help with luggage.
