"A family-run hostel in a great position in the trendy (and quieter) part of Potts Point, this converted mansion is sunny, airy and brightly painted."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Well-maintained, secure little place which feels more like a share house (albeit a rather clean one!) run by sisters Effie and Sasha, rather than a backpackers." Full review

Concierge "Sure, it's a Hilton, and hence a magnet for large groups... But a $150 million renovation in 2005 infused this place with a knockout design."
DK Eyewitness "Alongside super chef Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie and New York designer Tony Chi’s Zeta bar, there are luxurious guest rooms and relaxation suites that are divided into Zen-like zones."
Condé Nast Traveler "The Hilton is primarily tailored to the needs of its executive clientele. Every guest room serves up the muted modernism expected of a 577-room, five-star business hotel." Full review
Time Out "Since its refurbishment three years ago, the Hilton has reinstated itself as one of the city’s premier five-star hotels." Full review
Star Service "The large lobby is dominated by an aluminum sculpture coiling up the center of the atrium to the fourth floor. Service is seamless and efficient." Full review
Fodor's "At this landmark hotel in downtown Sydney you enter a spacious, light-filled lobby displaying a stunning four-story sculpture." Full review
