Gorgeous heritage building. The room was old and dated, but clean. Can tell it needs updating but everything worked. The hotel are in the process of renovating, by floor. It was only three nights for myself and my daughter and we shared a boutique double. We were out all day and evening, and with the exception of an afternoon nap, really didn't need anything more! Fridge worked although it was very old! Bed was super comfortable. TV was a good size to view from bed. Air conditioning was very good - essential as it was stinking hot. Staff friendly and helpful. Everything you need in a hotel for a short stay! Very reasonably priced to be right in centre of CBD! Light rail was 5mins walk, St James Station also 5minutes walk. Super convenient.

“Overall very good but dreadful parking”

The hotel itself was very nice with old world charm. The staff, especially the barman were lovely. The rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable and a good location too. Only downside was the parking. You have to park in the Hilton Hotel which is a long walk with bags and clothes.

“Nice Hotel- Disappointing Staff and facilities”

On our arrival, we were told no facilities for a coffee are available , very disappointing and not very welcoming after a 6 hour flight. We felt the staff were quite miserable and again after an evening out, we thou... more

The Castlereagh was a very beautiful hotel. We stayed at the hotel for one night. On our arrival, we were told no facilities for a coffee are available , very disappointing and not very welcoming after a 6 hour flight. We felt the staff were quite miserable and again after an evening out, we thought lets have a little drink in the bar, the bar was closed at 9pm. Our experience at this hotel was very disappointed.

Stay here every time when in Sydney. Have made comments of excellence previously. Love the heritage style. Rooms adequate. Have also attended meetings and special events here. Centrally placed for theatre and library. . Unfortunately no forward hint when booking this time that work directly below me would begin at 7. Drilling at 8. Bad luck if sleeping. I was attempting Zoom work meetings. Impossible. One should have been advised in advance. 2 of 3 lifts down. Up to 15 people waiting at a time. 10th floor a bit much for me to dash up the stairs. Disappointing this time.
