GREAT STAY AT 57 HOTEL
Pros:

I had an excellent 5D4N stay at 57 Hotel. The location is outstanding, with convenient access to Central Station and key tourist attractions. Surry Hills and Darlinghurst are also within walking distance, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. Additionally, Woolies is located just nearby for added convenience.
The room was well-appointed and perfectly sized for a solo traveler, with a particularly well-maintained bathroom. Complimentary breakfast was provided daily, which was a pleasant inclusion.
I would also like to commend the staff for their professionalism and warm hospitality—special mention to Kaori, Motohiro, Ciara, Lynn, and Mac for their exceptional service.
I would not hesitate to stay at this property again and highly recommend it.

Parking
Pros:

Front desk need to be more clear on parking, very specific instructions would be ideal
I was given a voucher to exit the Wilson car park for free, but tapped my card before i could scan it
Now i have been charged $178 plus the $49 I’ve already paid at the hotel

Perfect place to stay in Sydney
Pros:

Funky place to stay in a funky part of Sydney, highly recommend this hotel if you want a convenient location to Sydney’s CBD without being there. Walking distance to some amazing restaurants and bars

Poor experience for the price
Pros:

The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night during our stay which was problematic with a baby. I understand that false alarms can happen, but apparently this was set off by someone smoking in their room. One person smoking should not trigger a building wide evacuation.

Booking software was very poor. I originally booked for the wrong dates, but never received any booking reminders so was charged for a night I didn't stay - I only found out about the error by calling up myself to extend my booking, only to be told my booking had passed and there was nothing that could be done but re-book.

The room across from ours was clearly using an escort service which was off-putting

I would have told the reception all this (I generally don't like leaving poor public reviews), but wasn't asked how my stay was when we checked out

Spacious & good location
Pros:

Hotel room was comfortable and a good size. However, the information I received on the phone prior to my arrival was misleading which resulted in some significant logistical challenges related to parking. Had I been given clear information initially, our trip would have been smooth.

Good value hotel in excellent location
Pros:

The location is excellent, right near the train line from the airport and also near the tram to my company.
It’s a friendly hotel, I always find the staff to be very nice and helpful Kaori-san in particular is really great, always with a kind smile and she’s efficient in helping the guests. She has a great work attitude!
I like the self serve coffee and pastries in the morning, I can go at my own pace and not wait for service.
The rooms are not fancy but they have almost everything and they are clean. The room staff is very thorough. My only two issues are 1) the bathroom floor floods a bit when showering and 2) there is no space to put my clothes other than the hangers.
I will recommend 57 hotel to others.

Solo stay November
Pros:

perfect location, very comfy bed and clean room. Whenever in Sydney I always have to leave at 6pm for a flight home. This time I booked through booking.com but next will book direct and ask (and pay) for a late check out rather than paying 2 nights and leaving early if that is possible. Also lovely staff !

Good basic accommodation
Pros:

Great location and lovely welcome when checking in. Room was basic and had what we needed however the shelf in the shower was on a lean so couldn't put any shampoo/body wash containers on it as they fell off, plug in basin didn't stop water draining so couldn't have a decent basin full of water plus the pressure in the hand basin and the shower was terrible when using cold water. Cold water was dribbling out of the basin tap. Unusual bathroom set up with the glass doors and curtains.

Service was terrific, staff amazing
Pros:

We stayed at Hotel 57 for 5 nights whilst on holiday in Australia from the UK. My wife was poorly when we arrived and the hotel, we arrived early but the team allowed us to use the room early to enable my wife to recover. From the first minute you could tell that service would be terrific and it really was. The hotel has a disco lift which was fun and also provide complimentary coffee and pastries at breakfast. The decor is really cool, rooms are spacious and the location is literally 5 minutes from Central station. We went to the Oasis gig at the Olympic stadium, having the train station close was really useful. We left our cases whilst we travelled to the gold coast, which was good and we felt very welcomed by the whole team. Thank you so much Hotel 57, if we come back to Sydney, we'll stay again. you really made our holiday special.
