City Crown Motel is a modest three-star hotel in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's big LGBTQ+ neighborhoods. You'll find it at 287-289 Crown Street, right in the thick of things, surrounded by some of the city's best places to eat and drink. It's one of only two gay-friendly hotels on this street, a good choice if you want to be near the community.
The location is especially good if you're out to see Sydney's gay nightlife. Oxford Street, just a couple of blocks away, is where most of the action happens. Lots of bars and clubs are a short walk from the motel. And Surry Hills itself has plenty of places to eat and socialize, so you don't have to go far to get a feel for local gay culture.
You'll feel part of gay Sydney here, not stuck in some tourist bubble. If you're in town for a weekend, for Pride, or just want to see the neighborhood, this motel puts you right by the main hangouts. It's a simple, central spot for LGBTQ+ travelers who want to be in the middle of it all.

We recently stayed at the Surrey Hills Crown Hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The level of customer service was exceptional. Every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, professional, and genuinely focused on making our stay special. We were delighted to receive a room upgrade, which was such a lovely surprise and made our visit even more memorable. A special mention must go to the bar staff, who were outstanding. Their friendliness, attention to detail, and commitment to providing a relaxing experience were truly appreciated. They made us feel valued and completely at ease throughout our visit. The entire team at the hotel should be commended for their hospitality. It’s clear that guest satisfaction is a priority, and that shines through in every interaction. Thank you to everyone at the Surrey Hills Crown Hotel for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a first-class experience.
The room was ok. Really just a bed and shower. Could not leave my overnight bag so had to lug around Sydney. Late check in early checkout made this inconsistent. Also food not available Bistro closed until further notice not good on a Monday night. A lot of food outlets closed slim pickings. Didn't find this anything to write home about.
When getting a room here make sure u get room one and get stuck in the bathroom so you can have the upgraded suit 😊
Nice quiet rooms and very clean too
Classic sports bar
Great place to relax, have a drink, and watch some sport on the many TV screens.
Not a bad pub. Nice staff. Good people watching 😅
