Hotels near Caltex Australia, Sydney

"I was not expecting this sort of cleanliness from this hotel but they did better than my expectation. Shared Facilities like bathroom and toilets were also very clean and tidy. Location were amazing just a 1 min walk from the train station and close proximity to few attractions of Sydney CBD."

"Overall, the stay was great value for money. The CBD location is fantastic, perfectly situated for public transport to get around the city easily. If you love exploring on foot like I do, almost everything is within walking distance. The only major downside was that the elevator was broken during my stay. I had to carry my luggage all the way up to the third floor. It ended up being a great cardio workout for me, though I did have to stop at every floor to catch my breath! While I laughed it off, it could definitely be a frustrating issue for others."

"Facilities: A huge plus! It has a stove, microwave, oven, full-sized fridge, and a dishwasher! All the pots and pans are there too! You just need to head to the supermarket for meat and seasonings. Cleanliness: Decent. We took out our own trash. Environment: The location is fantastic! It's near Chinatown, and a Coles supermarket is right across the street. Even better, there's an Asian supermarket on the floor below Coles! You can find any meat and vegetables you could possibly want! I highly recommend the steak from Coles that comes with a small pat of butter! No need for extra seasoning, it's super convenient! It cooks up just like a restaurant steak!! However, the balcony in this room doesn't have soundproof glass, so it can be noisy at night, but once you're asleep, it's fine. Service: Not much service. The email stated there wouldn't be cleaning. We had to go downstairs ourselves to ask for fresh towels. We also took out our own trash. Overall, it's still pretty good and suitable for large families traveling together. Cooking your own meals is a great option! Downstairs, there are three Malatang places: Yang Guo Fu, Zhang Liang, and one more! You'll never go hungry. Grab a takeaway Malatang, then head to the supermarket to buy more vegetables, meat, noodles, and tofu to add to it – you can go crazy with the toppings! Of course, we've also thoroughly enjoyed Sydney's local restaurants, steaks, and kangaroo meat! Western food is also delicious! Steaks, fries, pork ribs, and fish and chips! All good! Especially the pork ribs! They're perfect for kids!"

"Central Studio Hotel Sydney has a great location — close to the CBD, Chinatown, and main Sydney attractions like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the basic facilities. The room view and window view were nice, giving a good city outlook. The bathroom was clean and modern. The lobby area looked pleasant and had comfortable seating with space to work while waiting. We arrived early around 9 am, though the check-in time was 3 pm, so it’s better for guests to check this beforehand. The front desk team was friendly and arranged early check-in around 12:30–1 pm. There are several small shops and food options nearby, which was convenient. Overall, a good stay and a nice place to explore Sydney. (Room view, bathroom, lobby, and window view photos attached.)"

"Not like photos show on internet - apartment very tired and in real need of a refresh , and a new bed which was hard and uncomfortable with just one, too large (for the neck) pillow. And really bad WiFi reception . See pics. That said, location was great, apartment was clean and everything did work."

"I stayed at The Jensens and while the location is undeniably ideal, close to everything you need and in a vibrant, convenient area, the stay was let down by a major issue. The soundproofing isn’t great, with doors frequently slamming throughout the property. However, given that it’s a hostel-style accommodation, this was something we were able to accept and move past. What wasn’t acceptable, though, was the presence of rats in the walls and ceiling above our room. We were woken multiple times each night by loud scratching and scurrying noises, which was extremely unsettling and made it very difficult to sleep. We also have audio recordings that clearly capture the extent of the problem. It’s a real shame, as the location is fantastic, but this issue seriously impacted our stay. I would strongly recommend that management address the pest problem as a priority."

"Hotel is located in central Sydney which makes it very convenient to go around. Close to many eateries, shopping malls and train/bus stations. However, the room is outdated and not very clean. Stains on curtains and bedsheets. Mattress and pillows were too soft. Wifi is practically non-existent once we entered our room. Insisted they borrowed us a portable wifi router but even with it, the wifi was not stable. On the last night of our stay, water started leaking from the ceiling in our toilet. Managed to switch rooms but the new room we had wasn’t the cleanest as well. Overall, stayable but do not expect a 4 star hotel stay."

"· **Cleanliness beyond expectations:** Many older hotels have questionable carpets, but this one has faux wood flooring, so you can walk barefoot without getting dusty. The bathroom was free of mold, and the towels were pristine white and thick, which is better than many four-star hotels. · **24-hour front desk:** This is crucial when traveling internationally. I checked in smoothly at midnight, and they even helped me book a taxi to the airport, which was cheaper than Uber. · **Good sleep:** The window faced an inner courtyard, so it was very quiet at night. The mattress was a bit firm (common in European three-star hotels), but they provided one large and one small pillow, so I was able to adjust."

"Great location, absolutely perfect! The bar is good too, and there are lots of activities! It would be even better if the kitchen stayed open a bit later (it closes at 10 PM now). The staff are super nice and will chat with you like friends. It's a fantastic spot for young people and solo travelers. This is my second time staying here!"

"We had a fantastic stay at Paradox Hotel Sydney. The location is excellent — super central and very easy to get to, whether you’re coming in by car or public transport. It’s right near plenty of great bars and restaurants, so there’s always something happening nearby and lots of options within walking distance. The room was very clean and a great size, with plenty of space to relax. Everything felt well maintained and comfortable. The hotel staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We also made the most of the amenities — the pool and spa were a highlight and a great way to unwind after being out in the city. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend Paradox Hotel Sydney to others looking for a central and comfortable place to stay."
