Terrifically stylish and comfortable. The new Medusa isn’t just a place stay when you visit Sydney: it’s a destination all by itself.

Pros:

Loved everything about this hotel. It was warm, welcoming,and very accessible. It felt safe with the key pad entry and the staff were always close at hand with any requests for any additional item which might help. A very clean hotel too. Overall I cannot think of a better place to stay and we will definitely be back for another visit.

Pros:

Great boutique style property, like a great big house with rooms and en-suites. Great older style hotel with lovely interiors, however it is in need of an upgrade, particularly the bathrooms, due to mould and flaky plaster etc. Cleanliness is also lacking in both the bathrooms and bedrooms.
On our arrival, we booked a transfer to the airport for our Sunday checkout and when we went to confirm on the Saturday, we were told by another staff member, that they don't do checkouts on a Sunday.
Even with these issues, we would probably stay again, as I like a small style hotel, staff are lovely and it's in a great location.

Just fabulous!
Pros:

Love the location, the quirkiness, the team and the building.
Even though the furniture is now a little tired, it is still much nicer than your standard cookie cutter hotel design. Very welcoming and accommodating. Can’t wait to visit again once refurbished! Thanks Team Medusa for a great stay

Pros:

Close to CBD. If walking back to Hotel, be advised it is all uphill to Darlinghurst from CBD.
We loved the super comfortable bed and the luxury Aesop body & hand wash liquid soap.

Pros:

Loved the interior of the hotel ( although the style was in need of some updating), overall very comfortable. I was in a large room on the ground floor. Be aware that it’s an old building with creeks and noises so ear plugs if you are sensitive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the position was perfect.
