A great location a couple of minutes

A great location a couple of minutes walk from the central railway station, so ideal if you need to be in the CBD. The room was large and spacious. Luggage storage is available on the day of check-in and check-out. The restaurant was okay too. I think they were short-staffed one morning, as the breakfast buffet wasn't re-stocked fast enough whereas it wasn't a problem any other day. The only thing which is a bit disappointing is the credit card surcharge whan paying for incidentals charged to your room account, as it's the only sensible option for a foreigner when the bill could be several hundred dollars if you have taken breakfast and dinner for a few days.

I always stay at Citigate Sydney.

I always stay at Citigate Sydney. I find it convenient and central to all my needs, and I don't have to worry about parking with the 24 hour secured parking lot attached to the hotel. The staff are more than helpful, friendly and courteous and nothing is a bother. Only fault I can think of is there could be more sugar for coffee, but I am sure that if I were to run out, all I would have to do is phone down to reception and it would be provided. The meals at the restaurant are also exceptional.

Nice room with all facilities.

Nice room with all facilities. Bathroom was clean but looking very 80's with the grey tiles and the repainted sink and bath. Comfortable bed and very clean. Great location for activities south of the city.

I've booked for the king room

I've booked for the king room with Cityview. Hotel comes with free gym and pool entry. Room is very spacious. Only thing is, make sure to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream, shaver and moisturiser as they don't provide those items. Other than those, toiletries, towels, shampoo, conditioner and soap are all there.

Excellent location - close to

Excellent location - close to Chinatown, Central railway station. Friendly & helpful staff who kept their cool even when busloads of guests were arriving, attractive room with quality bedding & the bathroom had a bath (rare). Two problems - not enough lifts for size of hotel, the large number of rooms & the rapid turnover of guests, so one often had to wait some time. Also the 'swimming pool', whilst well-located outdoors on the 8th floor, is only abt 5 metres long (enough for a dip but not a swim).

Excellect hotel located in Chinatown

The hotel was excellent. I personally wasn't happy that we were in China town because the only food available was Asian. Outside of a McDonalds and a KFC there were no English/American resturants in walking distance.
