I wanted a less corporate, less CBD experience of Sydney - and the Royal Randwick gave me that. The room was very comfortable, and the air conditioning worked to the point of refrigeration if need be. Great experience, and excellent value for money. If you want to visit the CBD, there was a tram line directly to the Cirular Quay.

Great location. Beautiful newly renovated family room, lots of heritage features. Super close to the tram and all the Randwick shops and restaurants. The only thing that stops it from being a 5 star rating is that was noisy from the street and the bar.

Another stay at this absolute gem was everything I wanted and needed.
Excellent staff who always go that little bit extra to ensure everything is perfect. Rooms are always immaculate and furnished with period pieces that compliment the room perfectly.

The staff was very friendly and helpful but the room was not very clean. I saw hair in the shower and found a cockroach in the toilet. Arguably it was summer, nevertheless i remained nervous for the rest of my visit.
