Hotel 59

Clean small room centrally situated near transport options. Everything you needed in your room including kettle coffee and milk. George communicated well and instructions to enter the hotel were clear and easy to follow. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

I booked a superior double room, but didn't get the room that was pictured on the website, very misleading, I asked the owner about breakfast, he said you don't get one, I said it's on your website, free breakfast, he said show me, so I showed it to him on my laptop, he pretended it was an old website, and anyway what do you expect for $140 a night, then literally told me he could tell me to f... off If I didn't like it, an arrogant and rude man, he told me you booked a room only which is false, as I booked the room because of the free breakfast, I hardly booked the room and said by the way I don't want breakfast, perhaps the owner is not aware that if you rent a room in a hotel you have certain rights which I'm sure includes the right not be verbally abused, two lights in ceiling not working, ceiling fan not working, no microwave, milk in fridge was off, plug sockets in the bedroom where you have to literally crawl on your hands and knees to use, but hey, I certainly didn't let this rude man spoil my Sydney break.

George & his lovely sister have a wonderful Hotel. CLEAN, Tidy , Beautiful Sheets, Comfortable Bed, GOOD Hot Water Shower, Towels were Thick and Fluffy. The Room Nice & QUITE for a Fabulous Night SLEEP. There is a lovely Breakfast to be had at Hotel 59 the choice is super nothing was to hard to make. The coffee to LIVE for ( not to die for). Couples, Solo, and for business men and women a lighthouse in Kings Cross. 2min to trains & bus. Wonderful. Thanks again George. Annie

When I booked this hotel room I found that I had made a mistake and thought that I had booked with parking and had not. I had never driven in Sydney before and was absolutely shocked to find that I could not park even for a moment anywhere near this accommodation. When I rang the number and the chap rang me back George was really rude when he said to me "why have you got a car"? As if I was a total idiot is how it sounded. I told him because I wasn't staying in Sydney and would be getting out and about into the country and therefore obviously I needed a vehicle and as I had never been in Sydney before I had no idea about the parking issues. Haven't driven for some time from the airport to find the accommodation and finding the freeways etc extremely difficult to navigate and then absolutely no standing even in a vehicle anywhere nearby I was actually feeling quite stressed and was crying when I spoke to him and he informed me that there was no parking. He explains to me that the only option that I would have would be probably a car parking lot just around the corner. I realize that this was probably going to be expensive and said to him I suppose there is no cancellation on this room he actually hung up on me. I did not ask for a refund I just confirmed as per the booking.com website that I probably would not get a refund. Absolutely no need for this. All he had to do was say no I'm sorry there isn't and that would have been that. So I went and found the car park which was just around the corner as he had said. When I opened the door into the room I was overwhelmed by the smell of body odour. Room number 5. I opened the windows as there was one in the bathroom and one high up in the room which looked out to a concrete wall and held the door open with the one chair that was in the room. I sprayed my perfume everywhere to help get rid of the smell. I did sleep there for one night but decided the next morning to book elsewhere and packed up and left but not before seeing that the ants had got into my sweets. The bed was not particularly comfortable and there was only one spare blanket. Due to George's rude attitude and the terrible body odour, particularly on the pillows I definitely do not recommend.

Perfect location. Close to train station and within walking distance of major Sydney sites. Clean and quiet. Cafe below was run by hotel proprietor who was very friendly and helpful. Other fantastic cafes next door had some of the best dinners we ate in Sydney. I would definitely stay here again

Small hotel perfectly situated only a few minutes walk from Kings Cross train station. Room was well equipped and comfortable and very competitively priced. Overall it exceeded my expectations. I’d happily stay again and would recommend particularly to couples or singles.

Hotel 59 is clean, basic, definitely dated and yet a comfy place to sleep if like me your in Sydney sightseeing. Hotel is less than 5 mins from Kings Cross Station and 2 mins from buses into the city. There's everything you need locally from supermarkets, restaurants & nightlife. Definitely recommend If looking for affordable accommodation in Sydney.

the price was very reasonable; room was smallest of our 3 week trip to Aus but I expected that for a world class city. the breakfast (additional cost $25 for two including extra cappuccino) was very very good; it was also nice to eat outside (our choice...there is also seating inside)). the location is good...we could walk to the botanical gardens, opera house and the metro (subway…very close) although bearings are confusing initially, due to the shape of the harbour… avoid room 6: the shower leaks constantly and so there was mould. I took a Benadryl to sleep every night (I have allergies) and that stripped the mucus off my sinuses: I then got a head cold I surely didn't need on holiday. They need to fix the leak! George barely said hello when we arrived, which was not appreciated after 3 flights to get to Australia and then the shuttle taking us all over before dropping us off last (we were at the cheap hotel so I guess that that is why we were last). George then said “your credit card expired”. Well, 3 weeks before our arrival, I emailed Hotel 59 to tell them exactly that and to give them the new expiry date: his sister confirmed the receipt of that information…yet this was our greeting. he did help lift my suitcase up and down the steep stairs and we were able to store our luggage for a few hours on the departure date. Because the airport shuttle was so slow, we walked to the subway and took it/the train directly to airport on our departure from Sydney. This neighbourhood used to be a wild party area; no sign of that now although there are still strip joints a couple of blocks away if that’s an issue for you.

Had a great week here in October followed by a second week in November. We had stayed here for a fortnight in 2017 and were more than happy to stay here again. Comfortable family owned owned hotel, (with good WiFi), in a great location. Kings Cross Station is 5 minutes walk away a there’s plenty of restaurants nearby. Not only that, the cafe on the ground floor does a great breakfast. If and when I’m back in Sydney, I’ll definitely be back here.

This room was exactly what I needed - small, no fuss, and in a great location. Had been to Sydney many times but never stayed in the Cross, and I would easily return here. The room and bathroom were very clean, the bed was comfortable and George was very easygoing and happy to answer questions. I was able to use the communal ironing facilities (though the board could do with replacing), and sometimes the wifi didn't work in my room, but past that I was happy with my stay and would recommend!
