We secured a bargain deal through CentralR.com to stay 3 nights at Hotel Stellar. I can't fault the hotel at all. Great location within easy walking distance of all attractions yet hotel was quiet and undisturbing at night. Bed was oh so comfortable, mini bar selection was great, internet access was cheap and fast. Our room was much larger than we were expecting and we asked if we could upgrade to a king sized bed which was no problem and no additional charge. On our return to the hotel each day it was always spotless and beautifully serviced. Staff were UNBELIEVEABLY helpful and friendly and we felt very welcome and taken care of throughout our stay. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again any time I'm in Sydney.

We travelled to Australia in November 2007 from Canada and stayed 4 nights at the Best Western Hotel Stellar in Sydney prior to taking the 28-day "Around Australia" cruise. We had read the reviews on Trip Advisor and can only add that they were accurate. The Stellar is a very well appointed small boutique hotel. Centrally located - we could walk downtown Sydney in 20 minutes. Near bus stops, walking distance to railway station (train to airport) and restaurants. The rooms are spacious with kitchenette which we didn't need, but it would be a good feature for someone staying longer. The bathroom were all marble and tiles and quite large. The room and bathroom were very clean and new looking. The staff was very helpful and courteous. There is a locker room off the Lobby for storing luggage, if needed and reasonably priced internet access in the Lobby. A small cafeteria adjacent to the Lobby (not own by the hotel) was excellent for a light breakfast. Lovely, very reasonably priced, small hotel that we would recommend highly. A winner in a city that is rather expensive otherwise.

Very average hotel. The room was a good size, but a bit dark. The kitchen area was spacious, but not well furnished. The lobby area and hallways were a bit seedy. The best part of the hotel was a fairly good location and the cafe attached to the lobby. Great coffee and good breakfast. It was oK for the money, but I wouldn't go back.

We recently spent 6 nights in 2 separate stays at this hotel in Sydney and quite enjoyed our room and the service provided.The outside photos do not do justice to the quality of room and fixtures.The suite we had was appointed with new fixtures,bedding,A/C,TV ,DVD and furniture and very spacious with high ceilings. The room came with a kitchenette area including a fridge,microwave,kettle and toaster .....perfect for quick ,inexpensive breakfasts and beverages before and after exploring this beautiful city.
The washrooms are also completely renovated with quality fixtures and a spacious shower.
The desk staff was helpful at all times ,lending umbrella,providing directions,baggage storage etc.
The hotel aslo has internet availability ,a small lounge and an independent cafe in the building.
Located south centrally ,near Oxford and Liverpool Streets it was an easy walk to most key places of interest like Darling Harbour,Circular Quay,Opera House,Chinatown,Botanical Gardens, Anzac War Memorial and if transportation is required the Central train station,Museum Subway stop,buses and monorail are within 5 - 10 min walks.

Conveniently close also to an IGA food store,Priceline Drug store,pubs and a variety of restaurants and cafes featuring all food varieties.
Our decision to rebook our last 2 nights there is proof of our recommendation.
