Toilet flush didn’t work properly but it was one of those things that fail after time. The shower floor could have been cleaner.

Position to Darling Harbour.

I would gladly have paid an extra A$5 for a more copious and varied breakfast that included bananas, hot porridge, etc. Hotel needs to be modernized as it has an old, worn out look about it. However, the price was reasonable.

Excellent location near the train station and Chinatown, which meant lots of restaurants to choose from. Friendly staff at reception and at breakfast. Good coffee. Air conditioning worked very well and the bed was comfortable, which meant I slept well. Small but functional bathroom. The room was small but since I was alone, this was perfectly adequate for my needs.

Had a cockroach in our room one of the nights, the staff helped us take it out - but this was very disappointing.

Great location if the property, it is however an old establishment and that is evident in the rooms.

Its not we can say we didnt like but rather a room for improvement. There's ahould be some more options for breakfast. We choose the option of breakfast included as we saw the photos and prevuous reviews as the breakfast serves the continental breakfast. However, we got a breakfast without the mushroom and sauges anymore. Yes scambled eggs and bacon still there but better to have sauges and ham as well. With veggies will be great. Like mushroom and spinach. The choices of bread should be improved. Atleast with sourdough, brown bread., whole bread etc. There should have a selection of fruits too.

I like the facilities, location of the hotel and excellent customer service of the staff. Comfortable to stay with free WIFI. We got free upgrade on our room too.

There wasn't anything I didn't like about the Vulcan Hotel.

A very clean establishment. Felt very safe. The room was lovely and clean. The staff were exceptional, and i loved that the manager came and greeted me at breakfast and had a chat. The breakfast was lovely, which was included in the price. Will definitely come again. A 10 minute walk to Central station. What's not to like...

Some noise from the hall and rooms above

Comfortable boutique hotel in Ultimo. Good value for money for Sydney. The rooms were compact but comfortable and clean.

There were no window coverings so it was a bit bright at night.

It was the perfect size and the room’s facilities were great. The staff were helpful and accessing the property was easy. Check in and check out were both simple. It was a relatively short walk to Central Station.

My only complaint is that the pillows weren't comfortable for a long night's sleep. They felt fine, but I woke up with a bad headache my first morning, so put a towel underneath it for the second night, and that helped. Pillows are a subjective thing though, so not something that can necessarily be helped, as they could be fine for someone else.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the location is amazing. It's on a quieter street but just a short walk to Central Station, which makes travel easy. I was pleasantly surprised on arrival to store my luggage until check in, that my room was already available, so I could relax after my flight straight away. The buffet breakfast that's included had a great selection of cereals, toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, beans, fruit and apples, along with tea and coffee. Definitely a great way to start the day, relaxing in the peaceful cafe. Also happy to store my luggage upon check out as my flight was not until the evening.

Smaller and less conveniences but nothing we would change.

Convenient location with small but quality breakfast. The stay was everything you need.

We have to deduct one star because the room was more practical than cosy. Based on the pictures, we expected a little more space (yes, we only booked 17 square metres) and less of a 'basement feeling'. We were also not convinced by the breakfast. The selection was limited to English breakfast. We especially missed fresh fruits and you have to pay for special coffee extra.

Our first stop in Australia was Sydney. We were looking for a nice little hotel in a good location to see all the main sights in Sydney and that wasn't too expensive. And that's what we found. (Although the prices in Sydney were probably higher than usual thanks to Taylor Swift). The Vulcan Hotel more than deserves its 4 stars as it is clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They responded to our small complaint as quickly as possible and apologised several times. If you are looking for a hotel with a great location and great staff, you will definitely find it here.

Some more breakfast options would be nice.

Good location, friendly staff and nice coffee.

I don’t like how the mirror at the door point directly at the bed. It’s weird.

Location is great, very close to a lot of sight. Easy to check-in and out. Breakfast is simple but enough, can order more if you like at the bar.

The cleaning staff came into the room even with do not disturb hanging outside.

Got everything I need, clean, friendly staff.
