About this place Medusa Hotel

Medusa is a small boutique hotel in a converted Victorian terrace at 267 Darlinghurst Road in Darlinghurst, Sydney. It is a gay-friendly mainstream hotel, not a gay hotel. Rooms are compact and design-focused, without big-hotel facilities. The location is the main appeal for gay travellers. Oxford Street's bars and the Mardi Gras parade route are a few minutes' walk away, and so are Kings Cross and the cafes of Potts Point. It has 328 Google reviews averaging 4.7. Rooms sell out early in late February and early March during Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

My partner and I stayed here yesterday while local hotel hopping in Sydney before going on our honeymoon and Medusa was a lovely experience! The best boutique hotel we have visited in Sydney and the most fun we had on our hotel tour! The rooms are all absolutely gorgeous. We picked the velvet room to set the mood and it sure did. Worth every penny! Gorgeous courtyard to hang out. So many dining options around. Perfect for a city getaway. Staff are absolutely lovely. They even left us a nice bottle of rose with a lovely card for our honeymoon 🥹 This place is perfect for a nice boudoir photoshoot background too. Cleanliness is 10/10!!! I also became friends with a cat that followed me in. As cat people it made our stay a little extra special. Will definitely visit again!

The best accommodation I’ve stayed in. So caring and so welcoming, as a solo traveller I felt safe and comfortable! The most beautiful interior, beautiful architecture and wonderful service 10/10. Will be staying again soon! The cat and the mirrors were an added bonus ;)

We really enjoyed our stay at medusa! The staff are lovely and accommodating, and the place is beautiful - small but cozy. Great shower and beds, and there was an espresso pod machine to use which was great. I would definitely come again next time I'm in Sydney!

My husband and I arrived very early in the morning after a long flight. We were extremely tired and check in wasn’t until 2pm. However from the minute we arrived the entire staff was beyond kind and professional. They went out of their way to get our room ready early and even gave us a nicer room. The hotel is beautiful cozy and so welcoming. I can’t say enough good things. I hope we have the chance to visit again. I wish we stayed longer!
