Great location, clean, and a comfy bed!
The Ultimo was a perfect spot for us as we arrived in Sydney for a few days from the US. The location was in a neighborhood that had restaurants open late and was easily walkable. Mass transit was very easy to access. The room was clean and comfortable. We would easily stay there again.

Busy area but a great buzz. Really central with great local transport links minutes away. Great base to explore Sydney if you don't want to splash out on high end hotel. Single room small but suited me fine for 3 nights. Lift was being refurbished. Young staff excellent

Soundproofing was a little bad at times with people slamming doors (obviously not the hotels fault) and the karaoke next door was quite loud on the weekend but all in all it was a lovely hotel with extremely kind staff!

My room (rm no 202) was next to the staircase on the top level. There was construction work taking place on the stairs, which started at 7 a.m. and woke my family up every morning. We couldn’t get the rest we expected.
In addition, although the room appeared tidy, we found some cockroaches, and the towels had some stains.
