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.

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 :)

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

Room was clean, although a little bit outdated.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 light) and this request was accommodated. They don’t have a lift/elevator though. This wasn’t a problem for me as my bags were light enough but do keep this in mind. Bathrooms are also cleaned once a day, which is good but hopefully people from neighboring rooms keep it clean as well. Overall pretty good value hotel to stay at if you’re on a budget :))

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.

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.

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.

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