Good job we didn't bring our big suitcases :-). We weren't expecting a big room, but yes - space around the bed is tight. The automatic lighting in the bathroom can also be problematic if you need to get up during the night and don't want to disturb your partner. On the plus side, no need to grope for a light switch in the dark. The digital keypad to the room was also mildly annoying as, unlike with the one by the front door, we needed at least 3 attempts for a successful log-in to our room. As this is a new property, the keypad might need upgrading to something more robust.

The location was perfect for our short Sydney trip - 30-minute walk to the harbour front and good links to buses and train stations. The walks home also always felt very safe, even at night. The digital check-in was convenient for us as we were not 100% sure of when we would arrive. The cafe downstairs had a lovely relaxed vibe, super friendly staff, and served delicious coffee and breakfast. It seems equally popular with the locals as we observed when we based ourselves there for the morning to catch up on some work emails before our onward travel. The balcony for room 5 where we stayed was a welcome bonus. And top marks for lightning-fast WIFI.

1. I chose them because they offered a late check in on their website but they didn’t at the end. I had to beg to stay at least until 11am because I had a meeting at 10am. Unnecessary stress! 2. They charged me 220e deposit. I stayed in 12 different hotels while traveling in Australia and New Zealand and none actually charged my credit card. Others used my credit card details in case of damages but Urban rest actually charged me. Still waiting for the money back… not convenient for travelers. 3. Not very clean. The pillow case had stains on it and it grossed me out when I saw it in morning. Cigarette buds in the corner of the balcony. 4. They SPAMMED ME on booking.com!!! I had to turn off my notifications just so I could sleep in peace.

Beautiful decor!! Bonus point for the balcony. The shower was fantastic too.

It would be better to have a choice of lighting for the bathroom so that the main light and fan don't come on automatically as soon as you enter, especially when used during the night as it wakes up other guests.

The location and room were great. It was very stylish, comfortable and clean.

The aircon wasn't working on the 39C day, but it was OK when the cool change came through and I could open the windows. The rooftop could be made into a nice space with some outdoor furniture.

I had a tiny room but it had a balcony which made it feel bigger. Shelves were well placed for the odd shaped room. Comfy bed.

Small but well designed room in an elegantly designed boutique guest house in a perfect location. The room was small, and the trade off is the lower price, but for a short stay in Sydney it’s perfect.

Had difficulty accessing both the main entrance and the door to my room. Keypad was not working properly for me and for two others who also wished to enter. No place to hang clothes in the shower/toilet room. No desk to work at. Very small area in room.

Breakfast was nice, location was ideal

Stayed in October 2023

The light in the toilet tended to come on too often (motion sensor) and switch off too soon. Its also a bit squeezy, but this is also a good trait, as you expect it in a place like this which was such good value.

Great location. Right amongst all the restaurants and cafes with the train just up the road. And the best cafe right downstairs - their food was exceptional as was their coffee. I was initially apprehensive about the keyless entry but that worked out superb - not having to carry a key was a plus. Also streaming movies really easily, great internet.

a little bit more of a storage space would be nice, perhaps add a small shelves next to the basin area? also it would be nice if some hooks are added on the bathroom door to hang the towels:) also, the first night we arrived, after showering the bathroom floor was kinda flooded as the water was going down the drain too slowly, we tried to check the drain and found lots of hairs, maybe cleaning was a bit overlooked in this part. but it wasn’t much of a problem the next day. still, overall the room is clean and tidy!

love love love the interior! its quite small but everything is laid out perfectly, maximising all the spaces around. the check-in/check-out system is also easy. good location!

Toilet roll holder was broken Sensor light in the bathroom - went off whenever I walked past the bathroom, which meant the noisy fan started too Sensor light went off while I was in the shower. It was fortunate I had turned the hall light on so I could still see Glass screen for the shower was too small to stop the water going into the toilet area, wetting said toilet paper which had to sit on the floor

Location was fabulous for my stay - close to the activities I was there for Ease of access to the building and room Cute funky room

Stayed in September 2023

The door to room 7 doesn't close automatically unless you pull it - might want to fix that. The room could do with a chair.

Just an easy stay option, well located, well priced.

Cafe downstairs is bizarre.

Compact minimalist room with small luxuries Extremely comfortable bed and nice hot shower. Beautiful aesthetic and touches. Perfect for a one night stay - got in late and left before checkout, seamless check-in/out experience. Good value and competitive price point. I’d stay again.
