We chose the Central Railway hotel based on the previous reviews. This is not a fancy hotel but it is clean and neat. Chris and Vicky manage the place, and are great hosts. It's about a 10 minute walk to the Central Railway station, however, it may not be close enough to walk if you have a lot of luggage... more

We found this hotel on a leaflet in the Tourist Inofrmation Centre in Sydney. We checked out of our crap place and decided to stay here at the Central Railway Hotel , which was ver acccomondation for 5 of us. We had a family room on the top floor of the complex. This included 1 double and 3 single beds... more

Booking/checking in ---------------------------- The front desk is not open 24 hrs, but if you tell the hotel staff in advance, they arrange for the keys to be left at a place where you can find them. Staff ------ Friendly staff (Zelma and John), they enjoy the work they do, this is seen in their service orientation too. Room -------- The... more

This could have had a 2.5 rating if we had the option. We were pretty desperate by the time we identified this hotel for our second night in Sydney - there were few rooms available thanks to Justin Timberlake performing! We wrongly assumed that the words 'central' and 'railway' meant it was near the central railway station (and indeed the... more

Coming from the country by train, this hotel was placed just right. Rooms were clean (beautiful linen)and provided all you would need. We stayed a couple of nights but would have liked to stay more. Perhaps it is suited to those who prefer a quiet location but was just right for the four of us and the rooms we had... more

We were booked in for 4 nights but only stayed for 2. The worst aspect was that the rooms' main windows faced on to the inner landing/courtyard. This made them feel dark and claustrophobic. Having booked in May we were disappointed not to have had rooms facing on to the main road, which at least had a sunnier aspect. The... more

We stayed at a hostel in Sydney a few weeks before our stay in Central Railway Hotel. After our experience there we decided to pay more to get something decent for our money. To be honest, we could have gone back to the hostel. The only difference was that the door to our room had a lock and we had... more

Although a ten minute walk from the railway station, this was a nice, clean hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Would use again. more

Stayed in a triple room with two friends from September 19-23. Location was alright - about a 10-15 min walk to Central Railway station, which me and my friends only used once during our stay. There is a bus stop about 2 min down the street that will take you all the way downtown. We mainly walked around to Chinatown/Harbour... more
