Springfield Lodge  

The quiet location in NRL finals weekend was excellent within easy access of Kings Cross and train station The staff were very pleasant and helpful assisting with all sorts of queries from NZers who hadn't been to Sydney for 10 years - and booking taxi for very early airport exit The room and amenities were ideal for myself and my wife although 1x towel each and room being serviced on every other day was not ideal

As mentioned above - the policy of only servicing rooms every other day is not good enough - we were given extra towels on request - but milk / sugar not replaced - and room not vacuumed etc - we were there 5x nights (only small detraction from otherwise very good stay)

Would not return. Hotel suited to younger generation rather than mature age couples. Room very small while very clean and tidy. Double bed and no other sitting facilities. Room poorly sound proofed and young people congregating in corridors and talking made sleeping very difficult. No car parking and no receptionist services in the evening. Well situated for the younger generation but not for us again!

The hotel is close to the city and the train station.however, it also close to the kings cross which is a red light area in sydney.

Quite good value for money. Location: Kings Cross a bit rough southwards but good for getting into the centre on foot.: You could eat cheaply in the vicinity. Good to be opposite a large supermarket. Staff were very helpful re enabling access to the hotel after check-in had closed. Beds comfortable. Would stay here again.

Message-taking at the reception wasn't very good -- a phone message for us wasn't passed on. There could be a more efficient way of collecting and distributing messages to rooms. Our room was at the back so was quite noisy with bin lorries etc. But at least we had a view of sorts.

I booked Springfield Lodge based on what I saw on the website however, the room we ended up with was not renovated, cramped and only fair. Based on accommodation I have occupied in the past, I believe the room we had was not value for money. Most of the staff were pleasant and helpful however, improvements could be made there. The kitchen was ill equipped (ie: no dishwashing liquid) and when I went to use it, there was a water leak of some description in the hallway, which was being mopped up by bath towels and there was still water on the tiled floor....not a safe environment for guests (or staff for that matter). All in all, the hotel had an "okay" feel but I think what made our stay at Springfield Lodge pleasurable, was the Petrol Cafe out the front. Excellent menu, excellent food and service. We enjoyed several meals there over a 4 day stay. Perhaps Springfield Lodge should advise guests if they will not be accommodated in what they think they will be, based on photos from your website. Many thanks.

Central location

Polished floor boards are very noisey, especially at night. Rooms are very small.

Location

The housekeeping ppeople are lazy...dirty room

Very near transport and the city clean staff were friendly everything close by

It was about noisy due to the oldness off the place

The reception staff was friendly and helpful. The room was small (and the bathroom very small) but adequate and comfortable. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've slept in! Being close to Darlinghurst Road wasn't the drawback I feared it would be. The room was quiet. Being close to Kings Cross station made travelling around the city very easy.

The location - a 25 minute walk to the Opera House etc.

John on reception at 9.30pm let us go straight to our room first and drop our belongings off, greatly appreciated after lengthy travel

We stayed in the 'family room' 310, located on the second floor at the front of the hotel. Just because you can squeeze a double and single into a room doesn't mean you can class it as a family, small poky room and bathroom with shower only. Needs modernising. The worst thing is having sash windows in one of the busiest places in Sydney. It's like sleeping with the windows wide open, I heared 6 emergency service sirens, fighting, arguing, horns till all hours of the moring and then refuge collection. Sash windows have no place in a busy city centre and the owners seriously need to address this. When I complained I got the impression this was a regular issue and didn't get an apology. I had to request an alternative room at the rear of the hotel. Very poor, stay well away. Room equated to £100 per night.

Great staff and great location; walking distance from the CBD.

We were kept awake two out of the four nights by noisy drunken parties. One finished at 1.30am and the other went on until 3.30am. People were leaning out of windows and smoking despite it being a completely non-smoking hotel. The reception desk is not manned overnight so people were free to make as much noise as they liked.

Unusual area with much entertainment free to view on the streets nearby. Good food,drink nearby and good security at thee hotel. May not be good area for children but as a stageing point for onwards travel very good with nearby kings cross station and bus routes
