    Everything about our stay at Medusa Hotel exceeded our expectations beyond comprehension!

    Nothing. There was absolutely NOTHING to fault about this property, the service, the location, the comfort - it all exceeded our expectations. In fact, in my whole lifetime, I can count on one hand of the times I have experienced accommodation that has exceeded expectations, and this would have to be one of the best! Well done to Tommy who has obviously put an incredible amount of energy, creativity and care into the hotel's resurrection. Congratulations!

    The hotel has been newly renovated so it was absolutely beautiful. Every room is eclectically decorated right down to the finest and most sensational detail. The wallpaper, carpet, beds, linen, EVERYTHING was outstanding. It was the perfect temperature, obviously double-glazed windows because it was completely peaceful once windows were sealed; water pressure was perfect; Aesop hair and body products were a delightful surprise; the Dyson hairdryers took it up a notch. The communal courtyard was stunning; as was the beautiful coffees/teas, filtered chilled water, and choc-tops available whenever you wish, as well as a beautiful fruit bowl filled with bananas and crisp and fresh apples. The whole experience at this boutique hotel was absolutely beyond expectation, and the staff couldn't do enough to accommodate whatever wishes we had - whether it was offering to chill our alcohol (for an event we were holding externally), and organising the airport shuttle (which was half the cost of a taxi!). Oh, and we stayed when Sydney was inundated with torrential rain so umbrellas were offered complimentary. We can only imagine that the Medusa Hotel would be even MORE sensational if the weather was lovely, to fully take advantage of the retractable roof in the courtyard. We will DEFINITELY be booking again - every time we come to Sydney.

    There's not really anything I think could be better. There are stairs, it is built in a terrace house, but someone always around to help with bags etc. My room was small but so well designed that it didn't matter.

    I was blown away by this hotel. Unexpected in the best way. In a fabulous central location, the decor is stylish and fun, a delightful atmosphere added to by the beautful open courtyard. The staff are beyond helpful and welcoming. It felt like a family rather than a hotel. I couldn't recommend this hotel more highly! I'll certainly be back.

Location is perfect for Darlinghurst and a weekend in Sydney. Facilities and finishes are impeccable. VERY comfy bed, and I say that as someone with a bad back!

    That I couldn’t stay longer (by my own choice nothing the hotel did wrong)

    The entire hotel from the moment you walk in the beautiful large entrance door, to the courtyard and into your bedroom - just feels so Grand! The finishes are perfect, the attention to detail in every part of the room and throughout is clearly well thought out. Staff were so lovely and just the right amount of helpful and not in your face. It was so easy to book, check in & check out. All the need to know’s were printed and so easy to understand. Easy, keyless entry using the numbered keypad on the door meaning you didn’t have to share a room key with anyone you could come and go as you pleased. Overall was an amazing stay in such a lush feeling hotel.

    I have stayed at this property multiple times, and the staff are consistently so genuine and lovely. From check-in to check-out, they make the stay comfortable. Secondly, the recent renovations are amazing - our room was beautiful and provided a great vibe to kick-start a long weekend down in Sydney seeing gigs and eating and drinking our way around the many great venues surrounding the accomodation!

    Nothing.

    It was in a great location close to shops, train and Australian Museum and walking distance to the Art Gallery of NSW and the city. The room was really comfortable and a bit quirky with a fridge, microwave and all you needed to eat and drink there. Staff were really helpful and good fun and it was very quiet too. Very near cafes and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again.
