About
The Ultimo features modern accommodations in the vibrant Chinatown district. Constructed in 1911 as a key component in Haymarket’s transition to become Sydney’s fresh fruit market, the heritage-listed building is a reminder of Sydney’s bustling and vibrant commercial heritage which continues to this day. The Ultimo is just a 3-minute walk from bus and light rail stops. It is only a 5-minute walk from the Central Train Station, providing easy access to all of Sydney’s attractions After an extensive refurbishment in 2016, the hotel features 95 rooms across seven categories from cozy Ultimo single rooms to spacious Ultimo Courtyard rooms. (The Courtyard room type also welcomes your furry friends!). We provide complimentary WiFi, and a barista coffee station in the lobby to round up your stay at The Ultimo Hotel in Sydney’s vibrant Chinatown neighborhood.

Pros +
- Wonderful location: close to Central, Chinatown, Paddy's; excellent Thai food next door, and a grocery store across the street. We were upgraded to a larger room, which was nice. Great in-room coffee/tea. Helpful luggage storage both before and after sta
- Probably location for the cost
- Early check in allowed.
Cons -
- The building's fire alarm went off one morning, commanding evacuation of the building. Don't know if this is a frequent occurrence, but few people actually exited and we received only a weak apology from the staff.
- Not even free coffee. Prices in lobby. Also very pour wifi and the air conditioner leaked onto the floor. Staff nice but not that knowledgable.
- Room on 2nd floor was facing street and traffic noise plus bar directly across room location not conducive for rest and sleep. Disagree with 4 star rating.

Lovely hotel in central position with extremely helpful staff. Our room was obviously in an older style building, however very good size, well appointed and very clean room. Super comfortable bed and large modern bathroom with nice products. Recommend!
Quite a few old stairs to walk up to our room, difficult with suitcases.
