We enjoyed our 8 nights staying at Studio 8 Residences. The location is very convenient for travellers to go to the city or to the West of Blue Mountains. There are buses and night buses to reach the hotel in a few minutes' walking distance. Top Ryde Shopping mall across the road has Coles, Woolworth, BigW,Kmart, and many good restaurants and food courts at a reasonable price. The hotel room has a nice balcony, a microwave, a kettle, a big refrigerator, and a sink, which is very convenient to make your own breakfast. On top of this, there is a common kitchen and coin laundry. We cooked twice in the kitchen for fun. The rooftop has a city view where you can do bbq or watch firework. The receptionist (2 male students, an IT student, and a martial art student) during the New Year period were very friendly and helpful. They made you feel welcome and a home feeling. The housekeeping, Wone had done a great job in keeping the room clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay from 30 December 24 to 8 January 25 at the hotel. The hotel also provided a free airport shuttle to the hotel, but we didn't use this service. We booked Uber to the airport and costs around aud 60. We will definitely recommend Studio 8 Residences to our friends.

We had a problem locking the balcony door, and the IT student receptionist helped to resolve the issue by having us change to another room.

Studios are spacious, private balcony is a lovely feature, location is fabulous with a 30 minutes bus ride to CBD // Queen Victoria Building right in the middle of town, transportation at the door, great common spaces to share dinner or catch a game or movie on TV, and a really good cup of coffee that’s included every morning!

We used the common spaces everyday since we were traveling with another couple, we cooked in the communal kitchen and ate in dining area next to it. There are 2 things, in our opinion that could be upgraded. First, cleanliness of cooking surfaces (stove, shelves, counters & sinks) AND having dishes, glasses utensils downstairs in the facility - we had to lug them downstairs for every meal.

Spacious, modern and very comfortable room with balcony and kitchenette and large refrigerator. Across the road from Top Ryde shopping centre so easy to pop in for groceries, shopping, movies and cafes. Secure parking facility at a reasonable price. Top roof bbq area and common kitchen, gaming/ lounge area not used by me but also looked great. Good aircon system and acess to fresh air.

Spacious bathroom but no where to hang clothing. My balcony view was of buildings and had strong afternoon sun but heavy curtains helped control the heat.

Location was great. Cross the road from a huge shopping centre with everything you need. The place has an amazing kitchen and an area to sit and relax and have a great view of Sydney. You do not have to be in your room all the time. 24 hour disc makes it easier to come and go any time of day or night two minute walk to a bus stop into the city and you’re there at the town hall. Stop within 25 to 35 minutes.

Everything was good for our purposes

Travelled to Sydney with my friends but did not want to live with them so booked my own. The booked Queen-sized room is super clean, with beautiful views of Ryde Park and the skyline of Sydney. Super friendly faculty members and a reasonable amount of parking fees. Good location with many good restaurants near by, also bus 500X direct people directly to city in just 20 mins.

Hope the laundry can be paid for by card. Nothing else could be filled here as this is such a lovely stay.

I liked having the small kitchenette, a microwave is perfect if you don’t have the time to go out for breakfast. There’s enough bowls, plates and cutlery for two along with supplies to wash the dishes. The bathroom had ample shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Makes a huge difference when other places supply a small bottle and there’s two people. Having a shower cap was welcome as well. Although the property is located just off a main road, it was quiet. We had a view from the city from the balcony and the property is located next to a school which again, keeps weekend noise to a minimum. Located just across the road from a shopping centre, perfect if you need to grab a few things and not far from Accor stadium for our concert.

The property was great, we only had a small issue with the lights in the beginning and our door. These were attended to straight away, which was greatly appreciated.

I booked a single room. Room 504 was clean and tidy, compact and well-laid out but not poky. The chocolates and 'in flight' size complimentary wine was nice. Although the room faced the access road for the Top Ryde shopping centre, there wasn't much traffic in the evening, so it was quiet. Also very handy for the supermarket (open til 10pm) and restaurants, and catching buses.

The bed was a bit firm and if you are taller than 5 ft 5 then you might want to ask if they have longer beds,

The room was spotless clean, a lot of storage space, location was great, right next to top Ryde shopping centre, parking was very convenient and affordable, shower was very powerful, full size fridge is a bonus, outdoor furniture on the balcony was super clean as well. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely book it again when we visit Sydney next time.

Nothing we didn’t like.

Spacious room and very clean. Had a balcony, nice tv and good air conditioning. Bed was very comfortable and block out curtains were an added bonus for a sleep in. Very quiet and secure parking for additional $15 per night. Bonus coffee voucher for before 6pm on arrival day or morning of departure. Great idea! Room rate was discounted when I stayed there.

Inability to get lift from carpark to reception area without having swipe card. Only a short walk around though. Check in first and then go back and get your luggage 👍

The place exceeded my expectation. Because of the price (affordable) I wasn’t expecting a lot but the place was definitely good! Location was great too as it’s close to top ryde shopping centre.

Just a small issue with their phone. I was trying to call the reception but for some reason they couldn’t hear me even after calling multiple times. Not a big deal but if this didn’t happen, everything was great!
