Crown Hotel Surry Hills

This is a good hotel to stay in if you need to be in Surry Hills. It's on the corner of busy Crown and Cleveland streets and over a pub but amazingly, the room was not noisy at all. Bed was comfy, room was large enough and the kitchen area with cereals, milk and juices was much appreciated. WIFI was fast, TV had limited channels and the bathroom was a bit small in that there was nowhere to put your toiletries (I placed a chair out the door) and the sink is absolutely miniscule (hard to wash your face with the cabinet sticking directly over) but the shower pressure was good so made up for it. Elevator was no wait and one free drink in the pub per day was nice too. Staff friendly and helpful and room cleaned every day with new towels. There is a Chemist Direct across the street and a Coles grocery store plus fruit store less than 3 minutes walk so very convenient to pick up food (room has a fridge but could also leave in the kitchen) though Crown Street itself has plenty of food options (plus an Op-shop). There are three bus stops outside the hotel on Cleveland Street (take the 352 to Bondi Junction) and the Devonshire Street L2 to Central Station and beyond is about a 5-7 minute walk up Crown Street. The rate was very similar to several hotels in the Haymarket area so not really ideal if you want to be in the city as it's probably a 25 minute walk but very good if you want to be in Surry Hills.

The stay was great! The room was above a hotel on a bustling road full of great cafes but so well soundproofed I didn’t hear anything, not even other guests in the corridor outside my room. The staff were great, I felt very welcome. The room itself was large and great to move around in in an electric wheelchair, well stocked with bottled water, and tea making facilities, and the bathroom was a nice, modern, well designed accessible bathroom. Because of the reasonable price and superb location, very central to everything, I will definitely be staying again.

Nice room, perfect stay! Besides free coffee and tea, there were also free cereals and milk and free juice. What I have never experienced before in any other hotel: as there is a bar associated with the hotel, there was ONE FREE DRINK at the bar on EACH DAY OF THE SOJOURN! Fantastic! The hotel is easy to reach by bus: two different bus lines to different places downtown. The bus stops are very close to the hotel. Very convenient! Really a great stay!

Lovely rooms above the pub. Juices and cereal in the morning and a free drink at the bar downstairs surprised me :) Super friendly staff. Good location.

Pleasant staff. Nice spacious room, surprisingly quiet thanks to the double glazing. Excellent kitchen facilities for guests with free cereals, milk, juice, coffee, tea etc. Very much appreciated. Location was great for walking, taking the tram, bus etc. Alot of nice eateries on Crown street.
