I travelled from India and stayed for six days in July 2024 in the hotel. I walked from Kings Cross train station. It took me around 5 minutes to find McElhone Street. Going toward the hotel, the McElhone street is slopey downhill road, so carrying a luggage was easy. Though, while returning to Kings Cross station from the hotel was not easy, as I had to drag my luggage uphill to reach the station. Its around 10 minutes walk from Kings Cross station. Most of the tourist sites I covered just by walking, like Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour bridge, Macquarie's Chair, Queen Victorial Building, Sydney tower, Hyde Park, Royal Botanical Park, St. Mary's Cathedral, . If you can walk you can cover most of the sites just by walking from the Hotel. I am a museum goer and to my joy, most of museums like Australian Museum, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney Museum, etc. I reached just by walking. The stay was quite comfortable. The breakfast was decent.

Everything was good. I forgot to carry slipper. So, even if a pair of flimsy slipper provided in the room, it would have been really good.

Location, location, location. This is a wonderful hotel and such good value for money. If you are happy with a comfortable room and great cooked, fresh breakfast and warm and friendly staff who offer valuable information about places to go and see and the best way to get there then this is the place for you. It’s not your up market hotel but the rooms are clean and comfortable, fridge, microwave, tea, coffee and biscuits and a separate lounge/ games room for guests to use plus a laundry is available for coin. It has the old school hospitality like your booking into a country motel. We have stayed before and we will definitely be back, perfect location for walking to see Handa Opera and we walked to Australia Museum the following day. Parking is also very reasonable at $25.

The location is very central. It's walking distance from Kings Cross Station (stairs involved) and not far from the Botanic Garden and Circular Quay. The hotel is dated. It seemed a lot closer to a 2 star hotel than a 3 star. The staff was very helpful in letting us leave our luggage before the room was ready. They also said we could make use of the lounge (couches and recliners) until the room was ready. The best part of the stay was the included breakfast. I tend not to eat breakfast, but I was impressed by the selection offered and found several things to eat. Others staying there really seemed to make the most of the breakfast.

The hotel is not staffed 24 hours. This is not a problem as they give you a key when you check in. But guests may want to know this in advance. The rooms and hotel are dated. I don't know how official the star ratings are, but I would give this closer to a 2 than a 3.

Good location, access to onsite parking at a reasonable rate and free breakfast.

Nothing we didn't like.

Cosy beds and located in quiet area. Room tidied with fresh towels provided daily. Nice staff. Plenty food provided for breakfast. Good fresh coffee. Nice walk to hotel from city centre (eg Circular Quay) through Botanical gardens was delightful. But take care gardens close at set times in the evening according to the month. Area near hotel (Woolloomooloo) has an abundance of cafes, bars and restaurants.

Shower curtains a little old so appeared less clean but probably were. Breakfast could get very busy at times but avoiding 8/8.30am should mean less busy.

Great location. 400metres from Kings Cross train station and easy walk to Circular Quay and Botanic Gardens. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom facilities. Good range of hot and cold foods at breakfast buffet.

We were afraid of the place at first based on the locked iron gate at the entrance but the interior reminded us of a funky European hotel. We had a little courtyard off of our room with a table and chairs which was pleasant and the included breakfast was very good. It was a long walk from Circular Quay , the Opera House and the Botanic Garden but doable. Also within walking distance to a grocery store but up the Butler's Stairs. Challenging but tourists do this walk for fun. Ubers worked well as did the taxi.

There was a roach in the bathroom. Check in wasn’t until 10:30 and the office didn’t open until 9. We couldn’t enter property and were locked out at 8:30 but someone noticed we were there and buzzed us in. The office closed at 5 so I don’t know how you could check in or even enter the property. Just be aware of these limitations if you need a late check in or an earlier checkout to catchI a flight.

We had a late check in, so the communication in order for us to arrive late was exceptional. Great location to the Navy Base. The breakfast was amazing and the staff were really friendly. The beds were comfortable.

After our first shower, there was a horrendous sewage smell in the bathroom

I had a comfortable stay at the hotel, which is close to all activities. The breakfast was top notch with English breakfast buffet. I would recommend this hotel million times it’s at a perfect location close to public transport and a walking distance to Sydney city. Flight arrived late at 22:00. Checked in late and it was properly arranged to our convenience.

Check out time wasn’t specified on arrival. l had an email stating its lates 12pm however housing keeping staff informed l should be out by 10.

It is a great hotel in a convenient and quiet location. We loved the facilities, rooftop area, guest lounge, included breakfast and an extra toilet on each floor. The outside sitting area was very welcome, and the window and door were secure enough to leave open at night for fresh air. The rooms are comfortable and not too swish (as you would expect from a 3* hotel). The only thing I would say is that my matress was very unsupportive and was most likely many years old. All in all, we were very happy with Mariners Court and would stay again.

The skwishy too soft matress.
