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.

Lovely Boutique Hotel. Walking distance to the Light Rail. Located on the edge of Chinatown. Continental breakfast more than sufficient though only specialty coffees (for a price) and instant coffee availabe.

Not much for the price. It was a room that had the stench of a bad renovation. Very minimal room.

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.

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

A cosy boutique hotel in an excellent, quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Darling Harbour. The counter staff was helpful and friendly, and the inclusion of a daily Continental breakfast is a bonus. And check out the unassuming chinese restaurant next door. The food is excellent!

This boutique hotel was an absolute pleasure to stay in. I was only there for the one night but the amenities were great, breakfast inclusion was also great as was the location. However the key standout has to be the staff! Cheska and her young male colleague were brilliant at ensuring the stay met my expectations and they sure did, even exceeded them! Thank you for being caring humans and treating all your guests as the individuals they are. Thanks again!
