“Second time staying here.”

Hotel 59

5 of 5 stars
New York, US
May 20, 2008

May 14-16 2008 was my second stay at hotel 59. (The first being April 2007) It's a clean well appointed hotel not far from the center of Sydney (Walkable to the Opera House, Australian Museum, Darling Harbour, Hyde Park, etc, etc.)

As for those that are wary of the area. I've never had any problem. It's on a main street, the bus stop is a block and a half away, the train about 3. Personally I'm from NY, and there's nothing that makes me nervous in this area. No one has ever bothered me for any reason (I'm African-American), nor did anyone bother my friend (she's Caucasian). Last year I stayed here by myself, this time with someone else, and I find the neighborhood eclectic and interesting.

George is very helpful and kind. The food is delicious! My favorite is the banana shake and the mushroom and tomato breakfast. Even if you're not staying here, drop by for a meal and if you like the company.

Would I stay here again. Sure thing.

The rooms are small but comfortable, with phone, TV, and refrigerator, a nice hot shower, and you feel safe. For the that's key.

“good experience”

Hotel 59

4 of 5 stars
St. Catharines, Ontario
May 13, 2008

We found this hotel very clean and the location well situated for walking to all the major attractions in Sydney (Opera House, bridge, the Rocks, botanic gardens). Although Kings Cross may not have the best reputation, we felt quite safe and our room was very quiet. The breakfasts are good and the owner, George, goes out of his way to be helpful. We got the last room available, #7, which is a standard double and rather small for two people. However, I did see some of other rooms which were a much more comfortable size. The price of all the rooms is very reasonnable.

“Very good value”

Hotel 59

4 of 5 stars
Britain
May 3, 2008

Really enjoyed my 4 day stay here. Very handy location-about a 5 minute walk away from the Tube.

The owner was really friendly and cooks a lovely breakfast!! You can choose what you want in their cafe underneath the hotel.

Would def recommend to friends and would stay there again next time I visit Sydney.

Felt safe here as a lone traveller-more than I did in the other hotel I stayed in during my stay in Sydney (O'Malleys)

    • Disliked — The hairdryer would cut out alot and would have felt a bit more safer if the window had a good look onit but no big worries

“A Brilliant Week”

Hotel 59

5 of 5 stars
London
Apr 24, 2008

We were pleasantly surpised to find such a comfortable hotel in the heart of Sydney at very reasonable rates.
The room was basic but very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We especially loved the shower!!!
There was a full choice of breakfasts in the little cafe downstairs.
George was extremely helpful with advice on bus routes etc.
We would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return at some future date.

“Great”

Hotel 59

4 of 5 stars
Chicagoland, IL
Apr 20, 2008

For the price, $100 AUD, this hotel was terrific. It was an interesting location and just 2 blocks from the subway station. George makes a nice breakfast and there are 2 laundromats nearby, once next door and one across the street. We also found it far enough away from the partiers to be quiet.
Thumbs up!
