Security of bags being kept by staff prior to check in was concerning. I tried to check in at 1:45pm (15 minutes prior to the check in time) and the room was still not ready. When I returned to check in at 5:45pm, my bags were still left in the lobby and not in our room.

This hotel was absolutely incredible—clean, beautifully designed, and smelled amazing. The staff were friendly, and the location was unbeatable, with retail, bars, restaurants, and clubs all nearby, plus easy access to trains and buses. One of the best places I’ve stayed, and I’d return in a heartbeat!

Great little boutique hotel

Lovely little boutique hotel with a very lively bar!! Room was a little impractical with no desk and no proper curtain covering the small patio door (really sucks being woken up by sunlight when you're jetlagged!!), but loved everything else about it. The staff were fantastic!!

Room nice and clean. Large bathroom and quality bedding. Staff member helped us get netlix which wasnt working in our room. Car parking was limited but thankfully we had a disabled sticker so managed to get a bigger carpark that worked for us. Staff were friendly and helpful and we had a pleasant overnight stay.

Very enjoyable stay. Only criticism was lack of storage space in the room. Nowhere to put clothes if you want to unpack a case!

The property was well located to the allianz stadium, it took us about 7 mins to walk there which was awesome. Just down Oxford road is a plethora of restaurants. We also walked from the hotel to the Opera House stopping at the Anzac Memorial. The rooms all have queen beds, small bathroom with shower. There are the basic coffee, tee, Nespresso, small fridge. I loved that the room was not cluttered with furniture which was not needed. We didn’t take advantage of the pool restaurant/bar as I was travelling with a minor. I absolutely loved the hotel and the staff were amazing.

I have been wanting to stay at OH for quite a while. The hotel is nice & well located to Darlinghurst & Paddington. Room was huge (Terrace room - 2 bathrooms, lounge & bed) but the road noise was terrible. The lift was broken for our entire stay, being on the third floor & lugging cases up & down the stairs was not ideal. Given free cocktails at the pool but couldn’t use them as the pool bar closed quite early. Two air con systems but one was leaking & luckily not the one that had my phone under it charging! Overall I think it’s okay but the Oxford Street road noise will put me off staying again.

Great Location and Value

Great location near Paddington, Surry Hills and short walks to Double Bay etc. Great onsite bar - Busby's where the staff are friendly and accomodating. Front desk are lovely and helpful. Also a great pool and bar to enjoy cocktails and food on a balmy sunny evening. Well priced for the smaller room which was all I needed when conducting business during the day. The room I was in was a little musty but the building is old and it had been raining lots! No leaks in room luckily.

The room was small & basic but nice. Not alot of space in the bathroom. No storage. No parking. But very convenient location to St Vincent's Private Hospital which is why we stayed there. Beautiful staff who were lovely & caring. Would stay again if we weren't bringing a car to Sydney.
