Good points; Newly appointed rooms were very well done with more lighting options than you could point a stick at. Clean and well maintained. Quiet location but only 20 mins walk to Opera House etc. Breakfast thrown in was good. Down side; Self closing room and corridor doors made a loud bang on closing unless controlled. Late night returning guests obviously not aware or didn't care and let doors slam. Guests above appeared to have pet elephants with them and didn't care about the door slamming either. Otherwise OK.
My family and friends have been staying at Mariners for several years. We are all well travelled and have stayed at a range of hotels around the world, from modest to ritzy. Mariners is unique- it’s not pretentious or trendy but fits in so well with the quirky and historic character and location of the surrounding area of Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross. The rooms are comfortable, and accessible for people with disabilities ( one of the original purposes of the hotel) . They have little balconies and windows that open- so rare. On my recent visit I left my hand bag containing car keys etc in a taxi. It was amazingly returned by the driver some time later , but not without many phone calls and dramas in between. Donna ( the long time co manager) was wonderfully helpful and understanding, suggesting recovery ideas and ringing key copying services. When the bag was returned to the hotel finally, and when we had already left, she made repeated calls to reach us on a bus returning to Canberra and managed to connect with us when we stopped at the airport. We then got off the bus and returned to the hotel to retrieve the bag and most importantly the car keys and car! Could this kind of personal and caring kind of service have happened at a five star glass and steel international chain hotel? No. Thanks Donna….
Didn't eat breakfast, when I went, it was just a little taste. But the front desk is super welcoming, and it helps us to mention the luggage and recommend us a fun place. Also help us open the window ventilation. The most important thing is that the room is super large, the bathroom is very full, the living room has a kitchen with a dining table, close to the sea, the train is very close, and it takes 20 minutes to the city.
Very Good

The industrial-style design hotel was originally located at a cargo terminal. The visual effect is very good, and the service staff are also very enthusiastic. Although there is no breakfast, the food, drinks and wine in the minibar can be enjoyed every day. There is a loft room on the fifth floor, which is the top floor, with a good view. However, it rained on the first night and the raindrops pattered on the roof. The sound was very loud, so I didn't sleep well. There is a botanical garden next to it and it is very close to walk there, but it is best to take a taxi to get to the commercial street. Because the hotel is at the port and the commercial centers are on the hillsides, so you have to go up and down the hills to take a detour. The shower in the bathroom broke and water splashed, and the water flow was a little slow, but the overall feeling of staying here was pretty good, so these minor problems can be ignored. The entire building not only has a hotel, but also some restaurants and bars, as well as apartments where residents live. Not only do I like many sculptures in the building, but there are also many good works of art on the pier outside the hotel. If you always like art and design, I recommend you come here to experience it.
When I arrived in Sydney, I went to my hotel, and at first, I was like why did they put us here. On a quiet residential neighborhood a good 20-30 minute walk from the major attractions, it seemed an odd choice. I wound up loving it. First. the neighborhood is eclectic. It gave me a New Orleans vibe. The hotel itself is clean and very nice. The staff is super doting and helpful. It is a 5 minute walk from Kings Cross on the metro, which gets you to the heart of town in 5 minutes. There are plenty of great restaurants in walking distance. Next time I am in Sydney, I will come back here. It's quiet, nice, and wound up being a perfect location for us.
Great location and great people. For the price it is very good.
Points of criticism:
- If you have the upper bed, you don't have a socket on the bed. You may be lucky that there is an extension cable
- there are no curtains on the beds. So zero privacy
Looking for an unforgettable stay in Sydney? Look no further! I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic hostel that offers the perfect combination of convenience and comfort, right near Sydney's top attractions.
This hostel boasts an unbeatable location, placing you within walking distance of iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Exploring these renowned sites and immersing yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere has never been easier.
The hotel is in a good location, relatively close to some attractions, but the parking lot is a bit far away. Friends who drive here have to walk a while. The room is neat and small, but it has everything it needs. The service of the lady at the front desk is also good. In short Good value for money
Booked for 6 nights left after 4. The heating did not work for two nights could not sleep as it was 8 degrees at night in the Sydney winter. There was a hole in the window which is hard to believe and it was cracked. When we told the person onsite they came up to the room and put tape on the glass. The fire detector was covered for some reason with plastic. Dead cockroach under the bed. Bad smell in the room. The cooking pots and pans were filthy. The management was terrible, could not make contact with them. when we did they were not helpful. I understand that it is not a high budget place but I have stayed in a lot these types of places over the years and this was the worst. And we were told by management that we had got a better room than others. We were given an oil heater after a few days. Got on to the manager one night saying the heating was not working before 12 as stated that we can contact till. He said why had we not said this earlier. Freezing in the room.
We stayed here in early January and chose it based on its value for money and proximity to the Sydney Cricket Ground (as we went to the cricket). It was a nice walk from our hotel to the SCG, and the hotel itself was lovely - friendly staff, clean room and yummy breakfast on offer. I'd highly recommend for those on a budget as this hotel has everything you need. We didn't check out the busy Greek restaurant adjacent, that's for another trip!
