Convenient location

The room was very compact and having stayed at this hotel on arrival and departure from Sydney with several suitcases I have never had such a small room. Mr Cameron the front office manager was very helpful and accommodating in giving us a significant late check out. His attitude to my comments regarding the room will encourage me to return.

I recently stayed at Hotel Woolstore 1888 for one night, and it has now become my go-to accommodation in Sydney. The building beautifully honours its history, seamlessly blending original features with thoughtful design. Every staff member we interacted with was exceptionally considerate, consistently exceeding our expectations without us even needing to ask. I truly couldn’t fault a single aspect of our stay—it was such a standout experience that it’s inspired me to leave my first-ever review.
