A glammed up budget stay, but clean and convenient

A great landing spot for a night. Room was teeny tiny but the bed was so comfortable. The hotel decor is so awesome and they have done a great job styling to make the space feel airy and larger than it is. The hotel is on a busy road and on a train line but that does make it convenient as it’s close to Redfern station and close to bars and cafes. Central is only a 10 min walk away, too. A bit of a shame the taco restaurant has closed as there were no options for a drink or snack in the lobby. You’re not going to want to stay here for a luxury staycation but as far as location, affordability and convenience goes, we’ll stay again.

There were cockroaches at this place. I was moved from one room with cockroaches to another. It felt like staying at a private room hostel. I was very dissatisfied with my stay and didn’t expect the condition. There was also no hot water and the staff gaslit me by saying the water doesn’t get hot. It was. Incredibly frustrating to get any help or resolution.

my partner and I will use hotel hacienda from time to time as it’s the most convenient location to be for our visits to Sydney - it’s clean, the beds are soft and comfy, it’s convenient as hell with a short walk to Redfern station and it’s incredibly budget friendly. The prices on weekends are a bit of a rort but you literally will not find a place cheaper in Sydney over a weekend that is this close to everything. Staff are lovely and usually let us check in early if it’s a weekday or a Friday - we’ll be back many many many more times as the years rolls by.

The staff were nice, the rooms are simple, however, they could use some up keep and repair. The room I was in had a broken window latch. The TV light would constantly blink and wake us, so had to be unplugged. The wall also looked dirty under the tv, and could use a clean. Was saddened to find that there as no longer any dining at this hotel.

Perfect hotel and location to rest your head

Absolute perfect stay. Very good value and great location, only a five minute walk from Redfern station which gets you into the city centre in 12 minutes. Also connected with bus routes, short walk to Broadway which has tonnes of shops and restaurants. Hotel itself the staff were all so nice and accommodating. Our room was even ready at 9:30am which was a nice surprise. For the price you really couldn’t go wrong, the rooms are small but the aircon works well and the beds are comfortable after a long day out and about so that’s what suited us. It’s not a hotel you would be lounging in all day but served its purpose for us perfectly. Loved it!

Enjoyed my stay here. Staff were lovely and helpful and hotel was good location. Room was smallish but I already knew that when booking. The walls are pretty thin and you hear the trains, showers/plumbing and people opening and closing doors. Bring ear plugs. Enjoyed the tacos from the restaurant in the hotel too. I'd stay here again.

The staff were nice and helpful. Its has convenient location, close to both airport and central station. But the matres was uncomfortable and our room was next to storeroom including the towels and the cleaning staff made too much noise in the early morning. We could hear all the noises from corridor and the trains as well.
