Clean, comfortable accommodation

Basic but with all the essentials. Clean rooms. Close to trains and buses to city centre and airport. Helpful, friendly hosts. Able to leave luggage at hotel by arrangement with hosts on day of departure before leaving for the airport. Would be very happy to stay there again.

This is no longer a bed and breakfast. The cafe connected to the hotel is not operating. The owner George is accessible through WhatsApp, and he can answer questions, but there is no service provided other than trash removal. The facility is clean, roomy, and reasonably priced, and it's in a really great area. Adequate. We're not

Disliked: Amenities
The building is old, very close to neighboring building, limited electrical plugs, low water pressure, but as a place to just sleep, it’s fine. Interesting neighborhood, centrally located, easy walk to Philip park, gardens, museums, opera house, ferries, downtown. Perfect for me, I don’t spend much time in the room. Check in is by key box, there’s no front desk, I didn’t see any staff person for the four days I was there.

Bijou but adequate to wash and sleep.

The room was small but it contained all I needed. The en-suite was fully equipt. The most striking thing was the excellent quality of the bedding and towels. This is not a place to sit around in but there are bars and restaurants outside and Kings Cross centre is a few yards away.

The location was really good for me - Vibrancy in the evening and quiet mornings. Room was clean and all that was needed for sleeping in. It was also quiet. I would have liked to meet the staff/reception? Im assuming they were in the Cafe? Which was always closed when we were up and about or coming home. Hard to find some local knowledge when not familiar in the city. Great WIFI...

Better than expected. They have a small restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. Very good food. Very friendly staff. Sheets were ironed. If you are carrying heavy luggage consider there are steps for getting to the rooms that are in a second floor.

George, the innkeeper, was friendly and helpful. He carried our luggage up and down the stairs. The breakfast choices included in the room rate were hearty and delicious. The hotel is located in a vibrant area with lots of restaurants. It's just a few blocks from the subway. Our only disappointment was that the shower either ran very hot or very cold and we couldn't find a happy medium.

the price was reasonable. the breakfast (additional cost) was very very good; it was also nice to eat outside (our choice...there is also a cafe inside)). the location is good...we could walk to the botanical gardens, opera house and the metro (subway) although it's a bit confusing initially, due to the shape of the harbour...difficult to get our bearings

My home away from home

I try to stay at Hotel 59 every time I visit Sydney. It is a family run hotel and George, Kathy and their Dad (who makes great French toast) have made me feel like one of the family. Morning breakfast in the cafe is always fun with the opportunity for great conversation. The neighborhood itself is quiet, but a short walk away from the subway and the action of Kings Cross. The rooms are comfortable with good bedding and all the amenities to make for a comfortable stay. It’s the personal touch that makes all the difference for me which is why I keep coming back. I’m already looking forward to my next (as yet unplanned) trip to Sydney!

George was a fantastic host... helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. He took the time to show us the best routes, and he made a suggestion of a spot to visit we had not considered... it turned out to be one of the high points of our trip. Basic room with fridge, good wifi, off hour access, and a great breakfast. The location is also very good as it is close and walkable to Kings Cross Station, bus stops, markets, restaurants, and sights.

Great stay

I stayed here for six nights while visiting Sydney and had a great stay. Location is conveniently located two blocks from the Kings Cross station, yet the hotel is in a quiet and upscale neighborhood. It was a basic and clean accommodation with all the basic amenities that a minimalist traveler needs: tv, mini fridge, air/heat, and private bathroom with clean towels/soap/shampoo. I ate breakfast at their cafe every morning and ordered bacon and eggs. Breakfast was always delicious. George and Kathy and their dad were excellent hosts. George was easy to talk to. Taking the door-to-door shuttle from and to the airport is recommended. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay here again when in Sydney.
