"Location is fantastic, in the heart of the Sydney CBD. Lift is a little slow, but I didn't mind - at least it exists and does work. Personally really enjoyed the capsule life - They're spacious enough to sit up comfortably in, and incredibly well equipped, with a host of charging sockets, light and air circulation controls, ledges for putting your stuff, and a mirror to get ready with as well. Although shower facilities were a tiny bit limited (2 stalls per floor; same for toilets) I didn't encounter a problem where I had to sit around waiting for others to be done, or anything. The lounge is well equipped as well. A thoroughly enjoyable stay, thank you! "

Kitchenware is complete and bathroom is always clean! Towels and toiletries are even provided in the room. Super value for the money."

They are right next to a good bar so you get discounts and its always something to do at night. They are also in a good location for the metro and not far away from the ferries. I would definitely recommend this hostel if you are looking to stay in CBD Sydney."

"when we arrived, we were greeted with a very warm welcome and the registration is very fast. although the room is quite small, we don't mind because it is clean and tidy. the service is also very good, the cleaner comes every day and make up our room nicely. the position of this hotel is very close to the city centre and by just walking for a few you can catch a free tourist bus that runs along the elizabeth street around sydney cbd. only downside is that we got room with view to another building on the back of the hotel and some narrow streets which are not very good to look at."

"I booked Rendezvous Hotel a few months in advance, so I think I have got a good discount at that time, with free premium WiFi (although it turned out not easily connected). The room was spacious, clean & quite, easily controlled room temperature, has provided the exactly basics what I needed to stay in a hotel, the cups & teabags from three countries were impressive which I couldn’t stop trying how different they were. Although I have been to Sydney many times as I lived in Eastern Suburb before, I hadnot recognised it was so centrally located in Sydney Central until I transferred hotel from the West of Sydney by taking train to Central, just opposie to the Cental Station & just cross the road to get buses to other suburbs. Places of interest are easy to find way to go, both towards Town Hall & Broadway, along George St. When I tried to search my favourite & inexpenive Thai food restaurant, SATANG THAI, which turned out just opposite to Rendezvous on Quay St. Great stay for me!"

"minimum amenity being a small pub with accommodation but i loved that it was just that. the rooms were singles, no aircon, and shared bathrooms but even so i was more comfortable than when i have stayed in 4-5 star hotels in sydney. i thought i was going to have trouble sleeping because a nearby cafe was pumping tunes into the night but the bed was so comfortable i was asleep in no time. i thought i might be inconvenienced with having to share bathroom facilities, but every time i used the facilities, they were available and very clean. very basic brekky is provided in the brekky room, ie. cereals, toast facilities, etc. and appeared to be available 24/7/"
