    Wedged open window that was stuck partially open. Outlets were a little sparse. And calling it Bed and Breakfast is a little exaggeration as far as I am concerned. Toast and cereal is more like it. Hardly a breakfast.

    The location was perfect for my trip. It was only a short walk to the train station. Many restaurants within walking distance. The room was clean and comfortable. Ventilation/air conditioning was OK.

    I was sure I had paid on Booking.com, but then was asked to pay again on arrival. When I asked the receptionist/worker, she said it didn't go through online. Weird as I was sure it did. Had to check my account a few times to make sure I wasn't double charged. Asked for extra amenities when booked online. Didn't get any. Whenever I would go to reception, it was closed, so I didn't bother. Luckily I happened to have an extra small bar of soap with me, which I had from another hotel I stayed at previously. It was a little bit too pricy for what it was ($180 for one night). A little run down also. The en suite bathroom was too small and cramped. Reminded me of an aeroplane toilet! Funny how you have to take a big step up to get inside. Not very safe. Shower 🚿 was a little fiddly to get the temperature right, and the hot water was temperamental. Quite a bit of mould was noticeable in the shower. Light in room was dim and could barely see at night. A candle 🕯 would have honestly provided better lighting! Aircon was not working properly. TV only had basic channels - no Foxtel or Netflix, etc, and WI-FI kept dropping out.

    Stayed here due to convenience, as I had to attend an event at Burwood RSL right next door. It was also in close proximity to the station, shops, cafés, and restaurants. I was surprised that my room was actually quite clean, considering the reviews. Lady at reception was quite welcoming. It's good that they offer a continental breakfast.

    Bathroom door was broken but I really didn’t care. Dark room as no great windows to get light/fresh air. But these things really didn’t bother me as we purely used the room to quickly get ready to go out in, and then used it for sleeping.

    Great value for money, very close to train station. Beds were nice and clean. Great location if you want to go to Olympic park. Would definitely stay here again if we have lots of things on and going to be out and about the whole time and purely just needing a bed to sleep in.

    It was hard walking into the room noticing the stench of stale cigarette smoke in my room and it lingered the whole of my stay which didn’t make it so pleasant, I ended up spraying my room with my perfume multiple times because it wasn’t pleasant to smell and also brought a candle to make the room smell better . The bathroom was the worst with the stale smell of cigarette smoke it was like I had just walked in after someone had a smoke in my bathroom and made it hard to have a shower or do anything , it was pretty disappointing considering it was a non smoking hotel .

    It was a comfy place to stay and nice quiet place with a spacious room :)

    Room smelled of cigarette smoke so they gave me another room in the rear ground floor section of the large house… where the hot water wasn’t turned on. The mattress wasn’t hotel quality either.

    The bathroom is extremely small and not very confortable to move around. Also, the breakfast was not good, with only toast and some cereals with coffee and tea - for the price we paid (more than $160 per night), it was definitely not good and lacked better itens. However, the price is unfortunately alligned with the abusive prices of Sydney and a bad breakfast is better than no breakfast for most people.

    The hotel was well located close to Burwood Chinatown and only 15 min from Sydney CBD by express train. About the place, the bed was confy and the room had minibar and microwave. The aircon was also good and the staff friendly.

    We aksed for a second towel as there was two of us and never received this. The toilet and bathroom were very small and on top of each other. We understand that space is tight but it appears that the bathroom has been added onto the room and the step is very high and slippery when wet and getting out of the shower as there is no room to dry yourself in the bathrrom.

    The staff were friendly and willing to accomodate a late check in which was very appreciative.

    This was a beautiful old mansion and there was no information about the history of the house freely available. For a place with ‘Breakfast’ included in the name, this place has a long way to go. All that was on offer was toast and cereal and sachets of coffee and tea. This place really was budget, we got what we paid for. Will be spending an extra $50 dollars next time I come to Sydney to get something a little bit more opulent and comfortable.

    Convenient location, relatively quiet. There was a working fridge, fan and aircon.

    There was a bit of traffic noise outside my room, as it fronted onto a feeder road.

    Burwood B&B is located a short distance from Burwood Station, Burwood RSL and the offices where I had meetings booked. It is basic,clean & tidy, with friendly staff.
