Great budget stay option”

This was my Eleventh stay at Highfield Hotel in two years. The staff are always so helpful, but special mention must go to recent addition Peter. Peter goes out of his way to make all guests feel welcome and he is never too busy for a chat. This is what makes Highfield Hotel a real home away from home. Likewise Owner Adrian and son Eden go the extra mile to ensure that all of their guests have a pleasant stay. The free included breakfast is plentiful and of good quality. The availability of a kitchen with hot plates, oven and microwave is a welcome feature if you need to self cater. The communal bathrooms have all been renewed and are generally clean. The beds are comfortable and the rooms more spacious than other budget offerings in the area. The location is second to none being a short walk to the Train Station, Woolworths, Coles, restaurants and the Kings Cross nightlife. I personally prefer the Highfield Hotel to more expensive properties I have stayed in the area.

If you want to stay close to railway stations, inner city or have a hire car to drive north the next day this spot is ideal. Facilities are clean with smallish rooms. There are places to eat nearby or a communal kitchen. It is set in an older part of the city on a nice, leafy tree-lined street.

O if you need a clean en suite at low-ish price”

Facilities similar to a mediocre backpackers, yet prices higher. Very well located in Kings Cross. Plenty of choices of cafes etc. Communal kitchen clean but uninspiring. No other communal space. My room was small with the after-market en suite taking up much of the space, a double bed squeezed awkwardly in the remaining space. Security is excellent. Clean en suite bathroom, bed linen, towels and toiletries provided, which you wouldn't get at a backpackers, so if you need that it's probably a good budget pick. but I think I'd prefer better ambience, a shared bathroom, own towel and slightly lower price next time.
