Sydney South hotel rooms a the Independent

"Clean room and bathroom, just a bit outdated"

"Room was amazing, only issues is sometimes we didn’t get things like soap or detergent replenished properly and our last night the bed looked and felt like it was just pulled up rather than made properly where as the other nights they were fully made. it’s located in the perfect place, so convenient with shops, food restaurants/fast food and the train bus stations. Staff at front desk were very helpful friendly and caring. Pool, spa and sauna were a great plus to have available and decently clean "

"The hotel is extremely outdated. The gym is falling apart, the laundry room has broken machines, the place is overpriced for what it is. The only thing that this place has going for it is a decent location. "

"Consistently excellent"

"The location was great. The hotel itself is very much in need of an update. There were tiles missing in the bathroom floor, the rug needs stretching, the lighting in bathroom was less than ideal. The staff was very friendly and helpful when I asked questions."

"Good for a one or two night stay and convenient for airport as it is only a few stops on the subway in either direction to city and airport."

"Well located hotel with plenty of amenity "

"What a great place to stay!! Clean safe and a comfy bed, the buffet breakfast was very good, fresh cooked and substantial for a day out in the city!! An easy beautiful walk through the Botanical Gardens to the opera house( 20/25 minutes easy walk). Great local pubs with great pub food. Will restaurant. Thank you Mariners Court "

"This hotel fell far below expectations. There were no basic bathroom amenities in the room — shampoo was only provided if you asked at the front desk, and there was no conditioner. The building has no elevator, so we had to carry our luggage upstairs. Only one old‑style key was issued, and if you forget it, you’re locked out with no staff around to help. When we arrived at 1:30pm, a sign on the door told us to call a local number to check in, which we couldn’t do, so we waited about 15 minutes until someone happened to return. The area felt rundown, with warning signs about robberies and homeless individuals outside. Extra charges were excessive, including a $1,700 fine if steam from the shower triggers the fire alarm and $40 per hour for late checkout. The beds were also extremely soft with no support. The location is the only positive, but it doesn’t make up for the outdated facilities, lack of service, and overall poor value. I recommend staying elsewhere."
