Frommer's "This is the coziest place to stay in The Rocks, and perhaps in all of Sydney." Full review
Fodor's "For charm, character, and central location, it's hard to beat this ornate Victorian hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A lovely oldfashioned hotel sits above a historic pub, the Fortune of War."
Time Out "With a great location in the middle of the Rocks... the Russell still somehow manages to feel more like a cosy country B&B than a city-centre hotel." Full review
Rough Guide "A small hotel with popular shared-bathroom rooms, plus en-suite options; the priciest have views of Circular Quay."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Old-world charm meets gentle contemporary styling at this long-standing favourite." Full review

Concierge "Kirketon was once Sydney's, nay, Australia's coolest hotel... The lobby still exudes a raffish air of coolness, and the moody lighting provides a perfectly discreet atmosphere for the occasional celebrity guest."

"A 40-room, art-inspired boutique hotel that fuses contemporary style with classic Parisian influences." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This boutique hotel is an oasis of style, glamour and comfort in the heart of the vibrant suburb of Darlinghurst."
Time Out "Rooms today come with nice touches such as chocolates and Kevin Murphy toiletries, and the overall design is contemporary minimalist, with rich colours and slick bathrooms with showers." Full review
Star Service "Two blocks north of the edgier, more sophisticated Medusa, on the southern boundary of Kings Cross, this property is more laid-back and better equipped than its sophisticated sibling Diamant Hotel." Full review
Rough Guide "Fashionable place in an excellent location, with beautiful staff, slick service and great restaurants (including Asian ones) and cafés on the doorstep. $149."
Frommer's "Popular among hip, fashionable types, this slightly offbeat boutique hotel in Darlinghurst offers rooms lightly stocked with modernist furniture and custom-made fittings." Full review

Definitely ask for a room away from the main road.

"Moody décor and excellent in-house dining make this boutique hotel of 40 rooms a stylish option in the centrally-located Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst." Full review
Lonely Planet "You might feel like you’re in a David Lynch movie as you wander the darkened, mirror-lined corridors to your room, one of 40 spread over two levels." Full review
Afar Magazine "Formerly a boarding house, this property run by 8 Hotels now offers 40 rooms in the heart of the lively Darlinghurst neighborhood." Full review
