The whole property needs a huge makeover, as it is very dated and basic. A lot of the contents of the room (TV, cupboard, bed-with stained pillows), and bathroom (shower curtains, even the soap dispenser had a broken top!), had things that were broken and needed to be replaced. And I was shocked to see cockroaches in the bedroom and bathroom. The only redeeming thing the property has is a great manager in Cathy and the lovely 'security guard' Dion. You need to spend some money and do up one room at a time and make it somewhere you'd want to come and stay at.

Cheap and cheerful, with clean rooms, simple but reasonably comfortable beds, and decent bathrooms. There is a small kitchen area for preparing food etc., and mini-fridges and sinks in the bedrooms. (No kettles in the bedrooms, but there are tea and coffee making facilities in the kitchen.) There is a pleasant outdoor area for meeting other guests, hanging out, and chatting - it's a bit chilly in the winter, but was still attracting a friendly crowd when I visited. If you're looking for somewhere basic to rest your head at a very reasonable rate by Sydney standards, the Cambridge Lodge is worth checking out!

Disappointing, unclean and overpriced

Posted 19 Mar 2024 on Hotels

So disappointed in our stay that we left a day early. This is a classic case of pictures are a hundred times better than the accommodation, considering the price per night of this I would have expected more. On night one I placed a shampoo lid on the bathroom shower floor and by day three it was still there, clearly showing the communal shower had not been cleaned at all. Everything was broken, cracked electrics hanging out gf the wall- it was pretty poor. The room was covered in ants, and our window didn’t lock and over looked a communal patio, nothing was safe, everything was broken. To top it all off there was a screaming baby for the entirety of the time. I would recommend booking somewhere else, location was nice though and staff pleasant enough, the owner of this place needs to spend some money and actually do it up.
