Great spot in the heart of the city.
Always stay here for nights in the city. Short walk to Town Hall light rail and trains. Great inner city pub.

Smelly
Room smelt terrible, mouldy. Windows don’t open. Bathroom cubicle disgusting and glass practically see through, very awkward with teenage girls. No towels in room

The accommodation is at the top of a hotel/pub which was busy upon arrival. Staff were helpful with check in. Rooms clean, compact. Dodgy power socket in the wall which came off completely when unplugging my device. Average spot for an overnight stay.

It is in the middle of Sydney with a reasonable price. If you want to stop by Sydney for shopping, it is one of best options.

Great location and a good pub!
Great location, accomodating staff. I knew there was no elevator, so can't complain about that! Pub was great for happy hour and dinner. Bathroom was smallish and reminded me of being in an RV, but knew about that too. All in all a good place to stay for a couple of days.

8/10 Very good

I love staying @ The Criterion Hotel. It’s a fab old building, perfect location, simple amenities and comfortable. If you’re a Diva - don’t come here. The stairs will be too hard for your precious self. But if you want good accomodation, in the centre of mighty Sydders with cafes and restaurants and entertainment all around you, as well as some nature with Hyde Park so close and without having to secure a personal loan, The Criterion is it.

small, glass bathroom, not private, awful bed
Very clean, but not keen on the practically see through glass bathroom. Small room and a shocking small soft bed - doctors visit yesterday for pain relief. Would have like the coffee in the room rather than mid-way down the stairs. good location and an ok choice if you're desperate. wouldn't stay again thou

Great overnight experience.
Small room but perfect for us. My only suggestion would be to turn the lighting down in the bar at night to add some atmosphere. Staff were great, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
