Search Best Hotels in Redfern

I have lost count of the number of times I have stayed at this hotel. It is my go to place when I am in Sydney and I am busy and all I need to a place to dump my gear and lay my head. I have searched for and occasionally used other cheap hotels in Sydney but the Song is ideal for me. If you want a more centrally located (but with shared bathing facilities) try Song in Wentworth Ave. I am always somewhat bemused when I read one star reviews. I guess the reviewer has not completed ”The Economics of Hotel Management 101.” The price you pay for a room in a hotel in Sydney depends on location, room size, facilities and staff numbers. Minimise all of these and you can charge a figure closer to $100 than $300. So, do your homework before booking any accommodation. The Song is wedged between very busy Cleveland Street and the busiest section of rail in Australia. The double glazed windows reduce the sound considerably. I always get a good night sleep, more often because of my abject tiredness &/or my alcoholic intake. Don't bring a cat to the Song because when in your room you won't be able to swing it!! There is usually one staff member who signs you in and then you are left alone. Previously I always enjoyed breakfast in the cafe. Because of COVID it was not operating, nevertheless, they gave me a paper bag with cereal, milk, apple and muesli bar. Oh yes the kettle was not working. I did report this misdemeanour to management. So, the Song is not the Ritz but it offers exactly what I want when I visit Sydney, close to Central Railway station, Chinatown and the multitude of restaurants in Surry Hills.

We stayed here for 4 nights in May 2022 and what a calamity of an experience. It even begun before we landed in Sydney with them cancelling our booking due to a water leak in the room they allocated to us. After trying to find alternative accommodation at the last minute we were then advised all was OK. The greeting when we arrived was good and we were shown our room located directly behind the communal kitchen (room 1). Apparently they supplied a continental breakfast each morning with bakery items, cereals, orange juice, coffee but you wouldn't know it because only on one morning of the four we were there we were greeted with leftover crumbs or one lonely croissant. On one morning there was even no milk, coffee or orange juice at all. This place does not have a manned reception which I have no issue with but each time we went downstairs to the bar to ask a question we were treated with distain from the girls working there. The room was spacey but just really poor hygiene and basic....very basic. Then to top it off on our final night the vanity in the bathroom fell off the wall and onto me throwing out all our toiletries and leaving me with a heavy bang on the head. They couldn't fix the problem and instead arranged alternate accommodation at another hotel so we had to pack up our bags and relocate unexpectedly. By the time we got to the other hotel it was 11:15pm and we had to leave the following morning. They didn't even offer us any compensation or at the very least a breakfast voucher considering we had only managed to get something to eat on 1 of the 4 mornings we were there. Just really poor service with little regard to how it impacted us. NEVER AGAIN.

For a small close to the city accommodation, Nesuto had all the essentials at reasonable price. Big enough for 3 people, comfortable double bed and sufficient sofa bed. All white goods and cooking equipment supplied. A bit noisy as on the main road. Walking distance to city if you are fit 30-40 minutes. Lots close by, Parking available. It's not 4 or 5 star. A bit run down and old school but staff were attentive and helpful, great cafe and coffee. Highly recommended for those on a budget and not too fussy. We love it and would return again for sure.

Made a last minute booking due to broad train network failure and was unable to get home in a timely fashion. Location very convenient to Central station . The bar was buzzing and the staff were very friendly on check-in given I’d booked 10mins earlier on booking.com. They took me to my room and gave me a rundown of the services. While the rooms are old, they are clean and the linen and towels were good quality and the bed and pillows comfortable. It was a hot night and the A/C delivered keeping my peri menopausal at bay. I ordered a delicious meal from the bistro and was able to walk to work very well rested the next morning. I will happily stay there again.

Great location near Central Station and good service from the friendly and helpful staff. Room was relatively small, particularly the bathroom which was a little tight, but this is no problem for a short stay. A negative though was that there was just one curtain when there should have been two, and it barely covered the window which meant being woken too early from direct sunshine streaming into the room.

The room is very big, very clean and tidy, and you can cook. It is a good place for home travel. It is very close to the University of Sydney, about 500 meters away, and it is only about 1 km to the nearby shopping malls, supermarkets and Chinatown. It is very convenient and the price/performance ratio can be determined in advance. Very high, it is cleaned every day, the service staff are also very friendly, highly recommended

It was totally a good choice staying here for 7 nights, easy access to train station and walking distance to touristic places. Variety Restaurants nearby walking distance nearby from fast food to Asian choices. Love it a lot. Definitely will come back for stay next travel to Sydney

Parent-child tour, booked two rooms, one is kingsize ordinary room, one is two single loft ~ loft layer height is a bit awkward, the stairs are also narrow, not suitable for children. Kingsize is very good and looks very spacious. The industrial design style is very good~ it is a member of the design hotel. Downstairs is the food street, there are many net red restaurants, I heard that the nearby albert st also has a lot of food, but there is no time to unlock... next door is the famous ”grass house” central park mall, the whole building is covered by green plants, big bus A double-decker sightseeing bus will pass through here to introduce a section. There is Ding Taifeng in the grass building, and the domestic high-end dining is quite cheap here! 30 per person per foot (Ding Taifeng of the Circular Quay Gateway is more affordable... 20 per capita, fast food in the food court...) Shopping is also very convenient, woolworth supermarkets can go shopping, there is also a row in the tide brand store. For the parent-child tour, the disadvantage is that the pool is outdoors, connected to the bar, the night blue light and the cold water temperature are really not nice...

Easily accessible. Bar restaurant on site. Not very organized on the check in they have an office in the back towards the kitchens and leave with your credit card alone (it's scary at the time). But seems serious. No problem...

All good. They cut the unevessary cost effectively and priced down. Very good place for business trio /solo traveller's who need clean and affordable place to stay and want to spend money for string else. The room doesn't have coffee kettle/ no nesptesso machine / glasses but u can use them in the lounge 24/7 for glasses etc - just asked to deliver to your room if u need. Morning bite is ok but not really attractive but there is very nice Cafe 1 min distance with great scone so I went there for fresh made coffee. Golden location.
