Newtown Budget is my second home. I am a regular resident every few weeks for work (staying for sometimes weeks at a time), and this by far is one of my favourite places to stay. Staff are extremely welcoming, and the room pricing is great value. The cleanliness overall is brilliant, and the housekeeping staff are amazing at their job. Super close to so many great locations and public transport options are perfect. Also, rather close to Sydney Airport, which is even better. I highly recommend staying here to any of my friends and family who decide to come and visit Sydney.

Rooms
Great variety of room types for any type of stay. Housekeeping are brilliant, and I can never fault the condition of any room I've stayed in. In room TV's are chrome cast compatible, which is a huge plus. Beds are always comfy, and the linen etc are of great quality.
Nearby activities
Close to many local pubs and restaurants, which is perfect for the King St night-life. A super easy commute to the city on the city circle line from Newtown station (10-15 minutes depending on your station of choice) which is perfect for the weekend markets at The Rocks or Event Cinemas close to Town Hall station. There is access to regular buses that drop you off really close to Broadway, which is perfect for late night shopping or a day out for retail therapy.
Walkability
Perfect location on King St. Close location to restaurants, both Newtown & St Peters stations, as well as Marrickville Metro and Aldi Local.
Noteworthy details
I just wanted to give a massive shout-out to all of the staff who work at Newtown Budget Hotel. You are all great at your job, and always make my partners and my stays amazing. That on its own is one of the main reasons I recommend your hotel to everyone I know. Thank you for always being so accommodating to us every month when we stay.

Quiet, Great value

As a solo female traveler found the accommodation safe and staff very friendly. Share kitchen a bonus. Room clean, bed comfortable, bathroom small. Bar fridge and kettle with basic supplies. Window to street with good curtain to block light. Bring ear plugs. King street is a main Street in Sydney with access by bus to many locations. I caught a bus out front of hotel to Coogee beach. Walk to Redfern train station 5-8 mins. Good value for money.

Rooms are basic but clean. A bar fridge ( with a few items eg water, soft drink and chocolate bars approx. $5). The room I stayed in was very quiet. Please note the hotel does not have a lift.However, the staff were happy to help me with my bag. I felt very safe and enjoyed my stay.

Feel like I was robbed. We did not get our "key deposit" back in full because we consumed two bottles of water in the fridge. However, it was not written anywhere that there was a charge (two photos to prove it) so we kindly asked the man who took care of us if it was normal to charge without warning in advance. he insisted on keeping us 10 dollars, and took it without giving us a choice (our deposit had been deposited in cash). We think this is not fair, it seems like theft. We took photos of the place which clearly show that there is no written statement stating that drinks were chargeable.

Worst service ever, I have never encounter anything like that. We booked a room with them 2 weeks leading up to our Sydney trip. 3 days before the trip they called and said our booking has been cancelled, the person that called can't even speak proper English and it was very hard to understand him. We were told our booking had been cancelled and there's nothing we can do about it. Very disappointing, I won't recommend anyone to book with them. I would give zero stars if I could.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the sunset lodge. It is close to the airport, has a plethora of restaurants around for choice of dining and is as convenient as can be. Katherine the outgoing receptionist is hands down the most welcoming and friendly member of staff we have had the pleasure of engaging with. Couldn't recommend more! Thank you for the great service Katherine! ❤️

I booked Double room and Twin room with my partner and friends. Both rooms were really clean and we could here all sound from hallway. Double room was in 1st floor, too dmall and too dark.. like underground room. But Twin room was 3rd floor really bright, enough space, had balcony with nice view!! Both rooms price were similar.

When there’s leaking toilet water all over the bathroom floor and the tiles are stuck on with packing tape, I will not say I’ll be coming back. Snot wiped on the wall too. Not access friendly due to so many flights of stairs. No lifts!!!! If you have trouble with stairs and have heaps of bags or are needing lifts for accessibility…don’t bother going here. NOT coming back :)

Excellent value. We've stayed in lots of budget accommodation in Sydney and this is by far the best. Lovely little balcony, clean, comfy bed, great location. Would definitely recommend. When you read some of the negative reviews its unfair because some people expect too much for what they pay for. All i care about is cleanliness, comfy bed, location and all the facilities you need. This place has it all. Thanks! Josie

Booked in a last minute single room (shared bathroom) and my check-in was due to be done at 11.00 PM. The kid at the front desk woke up and got me in and simply smiled at the reservation, saying: "I have upgraded your room to a double room since it was vacant, my treat." The room was decent sized, clean and nice. Great service, great place; especially what I paid for ($65 for a double room at the last minute).

Great value. Room 12 is huge. Location is unbeatable. Comfy beds. Newly painted and clean.

In booking website, they say they have parking area, but actually it just a street parking, and only can park 2 car, let us need find other side and pay more. It really didn't feel good about the cheating on information.

The staff were friendly and gave great customer service, the rooms are a reasonably price, beds very clean and comfortable. It is a budget hotel and is a good place to stay, especially if you are going to the Enmore Theatre.

Awesome hotel, nice staff, great price, decent rooms and a great bed. Definitely recommend if your looking for somewhere for a couple nights thats affordable and close to a lot of great locations. The reviews don’t do this place justice. Great place …

Called today for some details, was greeted with a unenthusiastic "Hello" where I then had to confirm I was calling the right number. The person had horrible customer service skills and asked me "what do I mean" when I asked what time check

Room was clean, although a little bit outdated. I would leave in the morning and won’t get back until the evening. Towels were replaced and bed was made when I returned. I requested to be placed in a room with windows/balcony (for natural

Dont believe the pictures!! We stayed there and it smelt gross as soon as you walked in. We walked down a dingy corridor to our room which used to be a laundry or bathroom. The bed looked clean but there was no doona cover on the blanket

My room floor and bed was full of hair I asked for the room to be cleaned and it never got done I had to clean the floor myself, on my second day there the room still hadn't been cleaned by 3pm so I cancelled the night. Totally disgusted

Stayed two nights, both during rainy weather, first night the window would not close leaving rain and wind to enter as well as traffic noise. Second “night” the door jamb on balcony door leaked like a shower head, causing

It really is just okay. It's in the name; it's a budget hotel, you don't get much but you also dont get a bad experience (I did only stay one night, so it could vary from room to room and according to length of stay)

RUN!! Place smells of cat and cigarettes. Maybe the private bathrooms are ok but I unfortunately booked a shared bathroom and it was GROSS. The decor in the reception area is beautiful, but take a look inside the

Rooms are clean, beds are good without bugs. Bathroom is shared but there are at least 2 on our floor so no trouble getting the shower or toilet. No aircon only ceiling fan but weather was good for us at the time.

Bathroom was in dire need of repair. Leaky floor and sticky tape holding things together. Cheeky at $160

It is what it says on the can…a perfectly good budget hotel near the airport. Staff are pleasant. No idea why people are downvoting this. Ate locally, slept well, went to the airport.

DISGUSTING. Dirty sheets! I only realised after I'd slept in it, that some else, or multiple people had slept in it before. There was BLOOD on my pillow slip, and my

Aircon worked well, easy checkin before 9 Great location, many things broken in bathroom and dodgy repairs to walls and doors etc More
