Garden Lodge Sydney Hotel

Close to light rail and bus stops. Security parking. Place was clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Loved the planes flying directly over from taking off or landing. Clean place and loved the layout where you could sit and eat if you didn’t want to eat or relax in your room.

The Lodge is better than it may appear, I was greeted vibrantly and efficiently, the Reception area is clean and had pamphlets for various things to do around Sydney, and some directions to nearest public transport which is not even 5 min walk. Room was secure all locks working and the room did not smell used. It smelt looked after. The room had 2 beds and both were ok for comfort, aircon worked well, all cups and kettle were clean and bathroom was very clean. Plenty of space in the room but i booked a twin room. No problems sleeping and their was a blanket on each bed + 1 extra. The location is near perfect, Public transport {Tram/bus} all a very short walk. Their is also Leichardt shops a little further but walking distance easy. The Price was Very Good and free parking which is hard to find. We felt things were secure and happy to leave car there. Remembering it is not super flash place it is affordable and convenient so keep that in mind. Am staying again soon with plans for some cycling around Sydney. Their is access to Microwave and some more Cutlery in middle forecourt which is very handy and useful. No microwave in room{ probably safety reasons} and a nice area to sit with waterfall. The lodge is Economical place to stay, but above most cheap places. Thanks for the stay.

We booked expecting a basic room with parking. We found a freshly renovated room in an amazing location with a good sized car park. The atrium/central space was beautiful, just disappointed we weren't there early enough on the night to really enjoy it. The provision of the extras (cutlery and crockery) in this space was also appreciated, you could prepare a simple meal or eat breakfast outside of the room. Staff were on the phone within minutes of making the booking to confirm arrival time and nothing was too hard, they had even turned on the AC to heat the room for us. Close to public transport to the city which I would have loved to try out.

Beds were clean, staff were helpful and kind! We had an issue with the room and the staff immediately apologised and provided us a different room. They were very apologetic about the issue, we actually didn't mind too much, can't help what's out of your control! The ensuite was a good size and the beds were pretty comfy. Place was amazingly clean and beds were crisp! Little fridge in room and jug but no other cooking facilities that were private.

The location is excellent with bus, light trail and train close by, so it's easy to pick direct routes to most center locations. The housekeeping being only on request made it more relaxed as well. The staff was helpful and the room spacious. 7 eleven was conveniently located right next door for easy breakfast and Opal card purchase/top up. With the Opal card week maximum, the transport costs were very affordable as well
