So central to train, so quiet above the pub. And key drop at the lift means no chasing staff to check out

Top star General.
Booked because I wanted a non-chain hotel. The General Gordon packs a lot of charm and service into its walls. Sydenham train station is directly across the street, and it was a direct line to Circular Quay - just a great location. Quiet residential street otherwise. I would stay again and again if ever back in Sydney.
Taken from corner of train station opposite the hotel.

Excellent and comfortable stay whilst visiting family in Marrickville. Super convenient next to the station, and so pleasantly surprised at how quiet the rooms were. We ate downstairs in teh bistro also, which has delicious food. Would definitely stay again.

Room was right above the train station intersection and under the SYD flightpath. Room was so quiet. Maybe one or two planes could mutely be heard. Security was always wandering the facilities. Close to train station and walking distance to Marrickville. Staff was very accommodating. Thanks to the whole staff. I'll be back. Chris

Be great if there was a shelf in the shower- nowhere to put shampoos etc. wifi barely worked. And if there were light switches for the bed lamps, I certainly couldn’t find them

Julie

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was not the layout of what I had booked. Felt like a run of house small economy room rather than a deluxe queen, noting the bathroom was tiny obscure shaped wedged into the corner, and no shower door meant water was sprayed onto the toilet. Really disappointed noting there are no pictures of this room configuration, so it was not expected. The other reviews were deceiving, I won't stay here again.
