      "Outstanding Hotel Service" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013

      I arrived in Sydney, Australia on a Sunday after a very long flight and suspected that I might have a big health problem due to the trip. The receptionist at the front desk was very caring and said she would try to find a doctor for me. She researched it on-line and found a medical clinic nearby but they had just closed (2pm on Sunday). So she left a message for the Monday morning desk receptionist to get an appointment for me. She did. I went to the clinic (within walking distance of the hotel.0 I spoke to a doctor who sent me for further tests and very fortunately, I was OK. The hotel staff was very caring and efficient. That was the first time in all my travels I've needed medical help and they were terrific!

      The room was good !! We paid for a harbor view room and to say there was a view is a real reach. We were on the 10th floor of a 20 story building. There MAY have been some harbor views on higher floors but probable not. All-in-all it was a nice place and a good room in a great location.

    The location couldn't be better--right across the street from Central Station, from which you can catch a train to anywhere, including the airport. The sports bar on the ground level was fun, and the room was adequate. My main complaint is the lack of wifi--something I didn't notice when I booked the hotel. Hotspots are difficult to find in Sydney, […] and I needed to connect with my laptop to get some work-related stuff done. Wifi has become a standard service at even the cheapest backpacker hotels, so this property will need to add it soon to remain competitive. For general Internet access, there's an Internet cafe down the street, and a McDonald's on the other side of Central Station. Read more

    The hotel is no frills, located in a local pub. On weekends, you may need to check in at the bar, but other than that it is like a typical budget hotel. The rooms, if not modern or filled with amenities, are adequate for the price and the location is great. Street parking may be a pain, and we had a room with a tiny window looking out to a brick wall. […] But, why stay indoors given the location? Read more

    The Royal Exhibition Hotel is very conveniently located on the South side of Central Station in Sydney. She looks very old but the rooms were generous and very comfortable. Fortunately a previous commenter had indicated that check-in is at the bar, that was priceless information because there isn't a reception desk. The rooms were surprisingly quiet […] given that it was a Saturday night and Sydney Mardi Gras. We'll stay again. Read more
