Aspire Hotel Sydney Reviews

A return trip every 12 months or so. Suits us well close to city, inner eastern and western suburbs and not too expensive.

Experience was good except for double bed comfort. Location and staff were good.

I was stuck for somewhere to stay in Sydney, most hotels were booked, found a room at the Aspire. Enjoyed the night, decent room, quiet location.

Hotel charged $50 for each additional child. Roof leaks had rotted the wood in the closet. It was in repaired. Foldaway bed had unwashed yellow stain on sheets. The worn out sofa cushions had crusty stains from someone's dirty romp. We were thoroughly grossed out. I complained. They verified my claims and returned the extra kid charges. This place should be $80/ night or less. My worst hotel stay so far.

When my wife and I check in to the hotel, we were asked to pay in advance all the eight days we have booked for our stay. When we pay with our credit card, we had to pay an additional 1.5% on the bill for using our Visa card. We were decently dressed and made our reservation with our credit card details. This was the worst reception we had ever received in all our years of travels. We were given a double bed that was so soft they we literally sank into it. It would be very uncomfortable and probably cause a backache. The reception said the hotel was fully booked and there are no other rooms available. Any staff offered us two pieces of firmer mattresses and it had to be laid on the floor since they don't fit into the double bed. Imagine we had to sleep on the hotel floor for four of the days and later transferred to a proper hotel room! The shower head was misaligned and we could not have a good flow of water for our shower. It was fixed on the next day.

Clean, quiet and available very happy with our stay over the two nights

Staff were more than helpful with everything, they provided a room upgrade when there was an issue with the booked room and provided additional service for the inconvenience

VG it was used as a room for the 2 day visit to Sydney over the w/e

Stayed there about 20 yrs ago and it does not look like any maintenance has been done since then. The layout of the room is fine, but every aspect needs updating or repairing. The dining room is open for breakfast only and we had to ask for cutlery and crockery. The food is basic and boring, but well cooked. What was the delightful bar is also closed. Drinks are available in the lobby at a dispensing machine. On our first night we chose to go to the nearest pub, which was not that pleasant, but provided food and drinks. China town is a much cheaper and more pleasant option and only about 6 mins walk away. Housekeeping was very ordinary, with our used glasses not being washed on the first day and the bed making was just a "pull up" with lots of wrinkles in sheets and pillows.

The Hotel is Ok. Staff very helpful in giving us access to our room at 9.30am. No complaints at all...but is all about the excellent central location and nearby facilities. We walked to Darling Harbour, Paddy's Market, Chinatown... buses, light rail and central station nearby. Will certainly stay there next time I am on holiday.
