Quiet but central. An easy walk to the famous Cross & its nightlife, but in a quiet residential street. Next door to the excellent upscale restaurant, Figo. Easy check in on numerical pads, as long as you're OK with memorising simple numbers. But no worries about carrying a key card, particularly to pop to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Lovely comfortable room, with the bonus of a microwave & fridge, plus basic crockery & cutlery in a corner, so great for basic self-catering. The shared bathrooms were small & basic but clean & lovely hot water, with reasonable quality shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. I never had a problem with availability of a bathroom or other people's mess left behind.

The fire alarm going off after 11pm was not great. Some really idiotic person had smoked in their room. Obviously the hotel couldn't control this, but it did emphasise that this is a bit of a bargain place without permanent staff on site. It's a considerable step up from a hostel, but obviously still can't screen out the selfish stupid idiots.

The property was close to city centre and easily assessable by train and bus. The property was well equipped and comfortable

To carry up my suitcase as it was located on 1st floor and no lift. On 2 nights - around 9sh pm till 1am it was a bit noisy - sound from nearby restaurants The shared bathroom generally was clean and well equipped, however there were few times that the toilet was not properly flushed.

Good location, good value, clean, balcony off room was nice.

Excessive hoops to jump through in terms of deposit, pre-check-in etc. Because I had booked 3 rooms, the process had to be repeated 3 times. Also, although the rooms were clean, the cleaner had left bags of rubbish outside the bathroom. It also wasn’t clear whether the bathroom was shared with just our 3 rooms or others as well. Shower recess leaked, so floor and bath mat was constantly soaked.

The balcony was very cozy and I loved that there was a good wine selection available - the balcony was a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The lodge wasn't too noicy at night, even though there was a busy road nearby. Very good location, it was near restaurants but was not located directly next to them, so you could get a good night sleep. Others guests were respectful and there were no noice disturbance from the neighbors.

The lights on the balcony did not work. The kitchen towel had not been changed to a new one.

The manager or owner of the lodge was amazing and helpful, she even let me check out a bit later than the usual check out time. I booked the superior queen studio and it is as big as you can get for the price, has an amazing terrace, a ceiling fan and a normal rotating fan, plus there are 2 desks that you can work on.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Location is very easily accessible via public transport and by car. The manager was very friendly and accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay!

Would have liked some more information and suggestions on the closest places to park, as the one that was suggested was very expensive.

this place was 10/10 SLAYYYYYY the rooms are nice, LOVED the kitchenette in the room, very useful. there was a sink, mini fridge, microwave oven, cutleries, hand towels. only thing was there's no lighting in the kitchenette area...we just move the lamp over and made do so its ok! its all the way at the end of the street so its actually quite quiet. everything was kept clean while we were there, even though its a shared bathroom and it can be a bit squeezy if you're on the taller side, we didnt see any other guest whenever we went to the toilet, and it was so close to our rooms that it might as well have been an ensuite! check in and check out process was quick and easy over text. there was a bit of a mix up when i checked in...my room got confused with another guest checking in the same day and they were actually given my room's door code D: but the owner quickly fixed the issue and change my room's door code to ensure our safety & comfort and also offered us a bottle of wine...thank you for the gesture, it was appreciated! this place only has stairs so if you have lots of luggage...get ready for the work out. the place is decently close to kings cross station, and there are lots of shops, restaurants, bars, supermarket nearby. i'll definitely want to stay here when im back in sydney :)

it would be more convenient to have some lighting installed at the kitchenette!

Simple but fresh, clean and nice. Lovely handwritten note welcomed us on arrival and as it was NYE we were also given a complimentary bottle of wine which really made our arrival so great. Quick and friendly communication from the manager was super. Really nice furniture, loved how it was decorated. Great mirrors, essential for getting ready to go out!

It's a shared bathroom set up, but we knew that beforehand, so was just one of those things. Clean though, nice soaps and shampoo etc.

Excellent location (was one stop away from Sydney CBD), staff super friendly and welcoming, the room was spotless and everything was very clean. Definitely worth the cost (which wasn't even that expensive) and will be absolutely staying at Bayswater Lodge the next time that I'm in Sydney

No complaints here!

I like when I do reservation online to giving same room 11 all the time. Thanks

Reception's altitude wasn't good. During the week I did many time extention, then who work front desk did ask me for a deal 1 week if I come back to hotel. Then she said she gonna keep me in the same room.I made a reservation online.And couldn't checked in till 5 pm, my room wasn't ready I made check out the day after and reception girl said I haven't do payment. Payment had been processed already the day before I checked in. Un professional altitude Reception didn't placed me same room even she said the room is available where I use to stay. Also didn't let me to check in on time had to wait till 5 , if I known wouldn't back to the hotel. Thanks
