Only a one night stay but all of the staff were brilliant. Single room just right for short stay. Nice ‘continental’ breakfast. Highly recommended.

The staff were absolutely amazing, very friendly and always trying to do their best. The hotel is located within easy walking distance of many restaurants and transit is accessible.
Dave, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel has been well maintained and in addition the owners have added nice decorative touches to all corners of the hotel not usually addressed by competitors. The hotel exceeded our expectations - very well done!

Lovely hotel with fantastic staff

We unexpectedly had to book a single night in Sydney and ended up here. The hotel was absolutely lovely, and the staff were fantastic. We would definitely consider coming back here if visiting Sydney in the future.

Lupita was awesome. Thank you.

10/10 Exceptional

Splendid two-day business stay.

This delightful small boutique hotel was perfect for my two day business trip to Sydney. The room was simple but very clean and quite practical for my purposes. The staff could not have more helpful. I was able to get Ubers easily from the location to get around town. The Broadway shopping centre was just up the road and I was able to see a film in the few recreational hours I had at the very comfortable Hoyts cinema.

We enjoyed our walk to Glebe then through Syd Uni to Newton and back. Great central location as a hub to explore the CBD

It’s not a Hilton, and you get what you pay for, which isn’t bad in this case. My only complaint is that they don’t clean the rooms by default, you have to ask for it

Great location, everything you need. Bathroom windows rattled in wind.

Colin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

For anyone looking for a conveniently located short stay close to Central, the property offers good value. Amenities need modernising, and for a light sleeper noise from adjacent rooms could be an issue. Bed comfortable and room well laid out.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful accomodation to stay at in Sydney, a friend and I flew in for a training course for the weekend and were welcomed with a huge smile from Lupita at reception. The lovely atmosphere of the hotel, where the staff were very accommodating and full of local information, nothing was a bother to them. Thanks so much, we enjoyed our stay. A big shout out to Lupita your smile each day, made our day. Thanks so much! See you next time.
HKL, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazing one-night stay! Free breakfast in the morning, and incredibly helpful staff at the reception desk. Parking was simple once it was explained to us- cheap parking a 2-min walk away, or free weekend parking on the same street. Only downside is I was able to hear the plumbing of the next room over, but it was able to be drowned out with the TV.
Juliette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's been a few years since I have been to the Vulcan Hotel, but I'm glad to see that it is still at a very high standard. The reception staff were very efficient and friendly and the room was comfortable and very clean. The whole hotel had the feel of being well looked after. It's a very short walk up to Broadway with lots of buses to the city, and an easy walk to wonderful Glebe Point Road. The rooms were very quiet. All in all, an exceptional stay.
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not much for the price. It was a room that had the stench of a bad renovation. Very minimal room.
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Vulcan Hotel has an excellent location, which is a definite advantage. However, in my experience, it doesn’t quite live up to its four-star rating. While I’m not entirely familiar with the criteria for such ratings, as a frequent traveler, I find this hotel falls short compared to other four-star properties I’ve stayed at. Although the staff were friendly and helpful, the room I stayed in had several issues, including a musty smell, poor ventilation, and an overall damp feeling.
