The Castlereagh Boutique Hotel is actually the Masonic Lodge in Sydney - which has an olde world club like atmosphere that some love and some really dislike. I tended to waiver between the two! Not really a good place to meet business guests, unless they are over 70. Staff friendly but helpful in a club like manner. Lifts broke down... More

We were overnighting in Sydney before traveling onto our next destination and after reading the reviews decided that we would give the Park8 a try. One very big mistake for the night rate we paid it was overpriced and overrated having stayed in other Hotels through out the world, they gave us a dark and dingy room on the 5th... More

We have stayed here for the first time was Aug 2010 for 6 nights and we quickly realised we had found a gem of a Hotel. So much so that when we returned to Sydney in Jan 2012 we rebooked even though we found cheaper hotels available. The location is great for exploring Sydney close to several train stations and...

Sydney is an expensive and difficult city for hotel rooms. If you are searching on-line for a room, rates can double or triple overnight. The Castlereagh is in a good location and comes at a fair price for downtown Sydney. It is close to the busses, trains and shopping and eating areas. It's clean and the rooms are well maintained....

No natural light in room and no view from rooms. Breakfast was too expensive so we ate else where. Fast check in and friendly staff.... More

I was initially attracted to the hotel because its price was so competitive compared to so many others hotels in the central business district (CBD). After I booked I was a tad skeptical because with a price that was anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of other hotels in the vicinity, the deal seemed too good to be true. In fact... More

The hotel has a great location, and i think they should advertise it more as it only a 10 minute walk to Darling harbour, 20 minutes to Circular Quay, and take a right out of the hotel and within 10 minutes or so there is a great selection of restaurants and bars. You can walk everywhere and it is really... More

The only thing going for this hotel is the location and price. Step out the door and you're right in the middle of Sydney shops DJs 5 minutes walk away. The rooms are small and the blanket on the bed looked old. We asked for an upgrade to a queen bed but the bed looked like a double. The bathroom... More
