Megaboom City Hotel, Sydney, Australia

Location was amazing! Close to so much of what Sydney has to offer. Room wasn't the cleanest: dirt and grime evident on surfaces and beside the bed. View is simply of a brick wall. Room gets serviced daily with complimentary water, coke and sprite. Small bar fridge which allows a couple of drinks and snacks. Room does the job for those who are only there to sleep! Reception has discount cards which were handy at local restaurants.

I had read the reviews on Megaboom City Hotel and it lived up to them. The location was great, close to QVB and train stations as well as Circular Quay and The Rocks. It was comfortable and clean and the staff were friendly. It appears to be a family run operation. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom reasonably appointed. The only downfalls were not having designated guest drop off/pick up directly in front which means if you have lots of luggage it can be problematic. And there was not much storage room in the room itself. Having said that it was a great place to lay our heads for a weekend.

In between Town Hall and Wynyard stations. Not that clean shower recess - had hair stuck to the walls. Room otherwise OK. Front desk could do with better service.

The room itself was okay, it was quite small and stuffy but it was very cheap so I did not expect anything different. As the room was located over the top of the Sydney railway, it was quite loud when trains were passing through but it really did not bother me or my partners sleep. The staff were friendly, there was a fridge with complimentary water, theres no toaster or microwave so keep that in mind. The room was clean. Bathroom was clean. There is windows, however you cannot open them and the view is to a brick wall. The hotel is in a good spot, a 5 minute walk to Darling Harbour so everything is within walking distance for restaurants and shops. The only thing I would recommend is to book parking somewhere else, the parking the hotel use is $39 per night and is actually quite far if you are walking with heavy bags. There is closer parking nearby and at a cheaper flat rate. I paid upfront for parking so unfortunately it was non refundable. No bar/restaurants inside the hotel so keep that in mind, there is a Woolworths 5 minutes down the street so we went and got drinks and snacks to keep in the room. :) All in all not a bad room at all. A good place if you are out and about lots and just looking for somewhere cheap to sleep thats nearby to most icons in Sydney.

I was really pleased with my room. Locan was awesome for me. The lady at the desk was lovely
