Put simply, Central Private Hotel isn't much to look at, whether you're outside or in. Everything seems slightly dated and, in places, a little run down. But, if like us, you're looking for something a little more comfortable and quieter than a hostel then that won't put you off. it's pretty inexpensive, it's in a convienient and seemingly safe area...

Firstly, this hotel is in an older building, and hasn't been done up. But if you're after a place to sleep, you can't go past it. And having a computer in every room with fast internet, and free wifi for those who need it is something most hotels at twice the price don't have. I also appreciated the fridge where... More

Cheap, small, clean, free wi-fi, outdated, no view, small windows, thin walls, barely no service, computer in room. But again: cheap, good location. Don't book if you intend to spend time other than sleeping in the room.

This budget hotel is somewhat dated. The furnishings are old. However it is clean and the wi if is very. Very good water pressure and loads of hot water . Great location and the manager Young is extremely helpful. A great place to stay to see Sydney on a budget

I stayed two nights (Sat/Sun} at $59 and $69 in a single room with ensuite. I wanted a bed and bathroom for minimal cost, which this was. The chap on the desk was very helpful and provided a hair dryer and carried my bags up and down the stairs, etc. I was Christmas shopping and the money I saved on... More

Stayed here for a week in December. I'm a student, so naturally on a budget - but I'm also one of those people that can't bear communal bathrooms unless there's no other choice. So I picked the double ensuite. I knew that the price was a little higher than what the place usually charges during the year, but so was... More

They claim to be newly decorated - not true. Stayed in room 26 - cracks in 3 of 4 walls. Fire alarm is falling apart. Ceiling paint is peeling and I am in a double with ensuite and paying 95 a night average for 2 weeks. Also the hall carpet has big gaps in the joins and floorboards are visible.... More

My wife and I stayed here 3 nights. Very cheap and very close to Central Station, but quite a steep uphill climb from station - it's the wrong side of station for the city centre and Circular Quay but admittedly not very far the wrong side. Steep stairs - no lift. Room and en suite were clean and room was... More

We stayed there for almost a week as we got a very reasonable price at a room rate. $59AUD per night. The room is basic and has the minimum you need to make your stay comfortable. Extra blankets are provided as it can get a little cold in the winter season. The best part of the room is cleary the... More
