Verona Guest House, Glebe

In the past we have only stayed at big chain hotels, so this was a venture out of our comfort zone, but we are so glad we did. Nice clean comfortable room, in a nice area, that couldn’t be any more convenient to Sydney’s excellent bus/ ferry/ train system. Julienne, the proprietor, is very nice and readily offered her assistance with any questions we had. I expect to stay there again, if and when we should return.

This is a b &b as the hostess claimed therefore has its own Australian Rules and Regulations that must be followed carfefully by all geusts. If not you will be called “rude”. I was called rude, because my cruise ship arrived at 7 AM and since I had too many luggages, I had to go to o the premise Not to check in but just leave my luggages an direction check in when it was permitted. I arrived around 10 AM. I found the door locked and no one answered the door bell. I waited for 10 minutes and nothing happened!,, I decided to call the premise. I reached a voicemail. Another 10 minutes later a lady opened the door and appeared very disturbed and unhappy form me showing up so early! I explained and she replied that this is not a hotel and there restrict rules that had to be followed. Such as guests must not show up before 2 PM! She was kind enough to allow me to leave my luggages and leave. I saw a giant roach the next evening and wanted to leave but I was refused to get credit back the unused portion of my stay. There are many comfort items are missing in this permise. I booked this place mainly due to its high review scores. Then I learned the reason for the high review score is because it is historical place that is mainly rented by locals or neighbors who have out of town guests or visitors. For them it may be a convenient place, however for tourists this place may not be conveniently.

Absolutely outstanding. Great location, both in terms of the immediate neighborhood and ease of access to downtown Sydney. We spent six nights here and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our first visit to Australia.

I had some issues while staying at the Verona Guest House, but the owner rectified them immediately. Great Service

Great time in a wonderful neighborhood. Room was very clean and very decorated. Breakfasts were outstanding. The owner was very gracious. Location was good, near public transportation.
