The hotel does not have any facilities for a hot breakfast.

Great location and helpful staff

Tea and coffee making in the room would be nice. The breakfast in the foyer was mostly sweet carbs apart from some fruit. Parking is very expensive and difficult. My final booking was very expensive. The rooms mostly had no window or a small window above the toilet, which was separated from the room by a glass door and curtain.

The staff were friendly and helped me when I forgot my phone after being locked in the stairwell because my room key did not work on an extended booking. It was very close to central for walking to the airport train.

I do like a kettle and tea in the room, but having a nice coffee machine free in the lobby is great.

Great little hotel in a great location. Friendly staff. Tea and coffee and snacks in the lobby is a nice idea (though no kettle in the room). Ironing board in the room is good.

I was not a fan of the size of our room for the price. The only window was in the bathroom with a glass wall with curtains to divide the bathroom to the hotel room which was a little weird. Non of this is anything they can do better, but you just need to be aware. My main prob is the security deposit, I was told on major events the deposit is $100 and any other time its $10. My daughter stayed on the Mardi Gras weekend and glitter was left on the carpet. I agree they had to clean it so should keep some of the deposit but they took the whole $100. I stayed there a week later and paid a $10 deposit so if I got glitter on the floor and they had to clean it, it would have costs $10 to clean??? bit confusing and not happy they took the whole $100

Location was awesome, very friendly staff, good facilities in the foyer and very clean. would stay there again but only for 1 night any longer Id feel a little claustrophobic.

Additional TV channels would have been great. Especially to watch the NRL on the Saturday night. Apart from that we were happy with our stay.

We have stayed previously in the same type of room (Twin Shoebox). We think the room is awesome and the facilities are great. I specifically booked here again as our previous stay was great. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and of great assistance. We will definitely be back again.

I don't like showers that are not bunded and allow water to go all through the bathroom area.

I liked the location.

Stayed in March 2024

Unable to see outside - no view - windows were either too high or Perspex.

A block from Central - excellent location close to lite rail, trains and coaches. On the Surry Hills side so a little quieter. Woolies grocery store nearby. Loved the coffee and lounge near reception. Able to enjoy a pastry for breakfast and read a complimentary paper.

Spacious room with separate kitchenette area (no cooking) and little extra touches. Modern and clean and close to some shops and restaurants.

Lifts were so terribly slow, & prefer to have tea/coffee making facilities in room to use at your leisure, not having to catch the slow lift down from Level 7

Excellent location

Room size. Nothing in bar fridge - not even some milk or complimentary water. Breakfast choices limiited to sugar based snacks. How about savoury options? It takes a short course in learning the self-serve coffee machine - somewhat temperamental. There are far better ones!

Close to Sydney central. Funky design of the decor Very clean rooms. Hotel size means it's not overcrowded like big hotels. Easy check in and checkout. Good staff service.

The bathroom was functional but not great. Having the two curtains and then glass door was a bit awkward.

Free light breakfast and coffee in the lobby-was a nice touch.

It’s all good, the hotel serves it’s purpose

My first stay at the 57 & it turned out to be a good choice. Staff friendly and helpful, room was just right for my needs. The hotel is within walking distance from Central which was a key criteria as well as close to amenities, all of which were met.

There is no in-room fridge or tea/coffee making facilities. The lobby had a big coffee making machine as well as a selection of teas, which compensated. Also, the provision of a complimentary light breakfast in the lobby was great.

Location was excellent. We drove to the hotel, but once there, we used public transport to get around the city. The hotel is ideally located for this - very close to Central Railway Station, as well as the light rail and buses. Also very easy walking distance to many different cafes and restaurants.

Walls were a bit thin, there was an argument happening outside our room at 1am and could hear everything.

Love the location to central station. The theming of the hotel and the staff

Negatives – NOT deal breakers: The venue is beginning to show its age and the rooms are generally in need of some upgrades and a freshening up. My room was dark…no window. Brown carpets, no separate closet (Hooks to hang) and a safe that was non-functioning. The bathroom is for the unfamiliar completely open with shower-toilet-basin not separated. For those with mobility issues, yes accessible, but…no safety mat and very slippery floors. Yes, accessible, but no grab bars if you are upright. Yes, It’s a safety issue. The toiletries included the smallest sized allocations of shampoo & conditioner (Unknown brands) and an itsy-bitty sized soap ever so slightly larger than an Aussie 50 cent piece. (Yes, I compared). A stay more than a day will require replenishing your meager supply. Checkout time is earlier than most, 10:00 AM, however they will happily store your luggage. Finally, as another safety issue, be sure you pull your door closed on exit, mine did not close & lock without assistance. Final alert, not the Hotel’s issue: Sydney now ranks #2 as the most expensive city in the world after Hong Kong…prepare for “Sticker Shock” everywhere.

This is my 3rd stay at this venue over a ten-year period. Located in the Surry Hills section of Sydney it is a five-minute stroll from Central station and near key tram stops. For those arriving by plane, Central station is 15 minutes by train, negating the need for taxis and facilitating relaxing low stress entries and exits at an inexpensive cost. High-speed wi-fi with easy sign on functioned well. The room had a small fridge (Not stocked) that you can store items in. Easy walking distance to Chinatown and multiple restaurants and bistros, including breakfast spots. I booked a king room with comfortable bed, very quiet for an excellent night’s sleep with a well-functioning AC (important during the summer). Self-serve, 24-hour coffee-expresso is available in the lobby and of high quality. There are pre-packaged muffins and some fruit available for “breakfast” but no hot items. There is no on-site gym, but arrangements can be made to access a local one for a fee. Summary: All told, excellent location, most satisfactory stay, a solid 7.50.

The room was not very clean.

The upgrade to a king room was great!

Curtains didn't meet again no blockout, difficult to sleep. Why why why can’t hotels get this? We need to sleep!

Free coffee and snacks.

Easy access from airport via train to central, nearby pubs and eateries. Exceptionally quiet room . Note no view or window is a downside. Well priced and suitable for early rail departure next morning or light rail to circular quay area

Stayed in December 2023

No tea/coffee facility in the room. No heavy blinds to block out lighting from buildings close by.

Location to Central as arrived late in the evening. Was not able to have any breakfast due to my ongoing travel by train to my home in the North-West of the State.
