Darcy's Hotel

Easy contactless check in. We were able to park on site. Easy walk to Strathfield railway station.

The old world charm of the building and furnishings are amazing. The beds are comfortable. I found our room bigger than it looked in the photos. There is a decent lounge area guests can use.

Andrew was very responsive on the phone but there was noone on site at any point. There were no issues with the stay so all good.

Quiet, close to train station and facilities. Spacious

I can’t say there wasn’t anything we didn’t like about our accommodationIt could be updated a bit with new bed covers or maybe a deep clean of the bed spreads and curtains, but we did enjoy our stay

Really good location - walking distance to both train and bus transport. The room was very spacious and the water pressure in the shower was awesome. Pricing was really good when you take the location into consideration too.

Large rooms

Pillows were bad/ shared bathroom between too many people/ internet was weak

It was a good location

Honestly the whole thing was sketchy and not secure, the owner had everyone that was staying that night’s cards in a envelope with their names and numbers and their room numbers on them. We had no idea how to check in and the owner wouldn’t answer his phone for us to check in, we had to ask someone staying there. Then we were locked out of our rooms because our key cards were too close to our phones which wiped them, so we called the owner and he told us where we could get new key cards. They were out in the open similar to when we checked in except instead of the common lounge room, they were in the common room kitchen above the microwave in a pile where literally ANYONE could grab them and break into our room. These keycards weren’t numbered for specific rooms they were just key cards THAT HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE ROOMS?! This was the point where we weren’t feeling safe to stay the night, but we had a concert and we had already paid the money for the night. Once we came back from our concert, we were met with the biggest cockroach we’ve ever seen crawling up the wall, we then squished it and went to bed. If im being completely honest the room wasn’t as clean as we would have hoped, there was hair in the bathroom as well as a drop of i don’t even know what in front of the toilet. Then comes the next morning, my friend and i got too warm in the night so we pulled off a few layers of sheets, so in the morning when we were getting ready to check out and we see within the layers of sheets there’s ANOTHER DEAD ROACH?! My friend and i are extremely disappointed in this hotel, we’ve read the reviews and they mention how it’s turned to shit since they’ve changed owners. I would not suggest this place to anyone especially young women like ourselves or families purely for their safety, health and privacy. We are lucky that there wasn’t bad people staying in the building. We will not be staying here again.

Spacious room

Awful check in - weren't prepared, no front desk, phone number not answered for the first few occasions.

An oasis in the busy city. Elegant and comfortable. Wish we were staying longer.

Minimal interaction with staff but we did arrive late. Could have been better instructions for check-in.

Building and room was all in period style with stunning furniture and lovely furnishings. The host was very responsive and friendly.

Nothing I didn't like!

Great location after concert at Olympic Park, easy walk from train station. Room was a good size, ensuite and clean and comfortable.

Poor

Leaking toilet and they just left a bath towel over it to soak up the water! Asked them to fix it and not while I was staying there

Beautiful historic building, clean, large rooms, friendly staff

Liked everything about it

Convenient, friendly staff, free parking, beautiful old property

Bit of confusion when arriving about room allocation which was a little stressful. Can be a little noisy as old home.

Building was locked at 2pm. Had problems getting in. Several Cockroaches in room.no air-conditioning. Just a fan in room that wouldn't turn on.

Everything

spacious room

no hot water by 8am

Price was good

Awkward location. No staff ? Just a phone number for contact

Comfortable bed, Great location close to train station, shops, cafe and close to Accor Stadium.

Mould on ceiling of the bathroom, shower glass needed to be cleaned, skirting boards window area had dust and dust under the bed. Need instructions stating there is no staff to check in and have to call and find envelope with your name and room key. Need to supply check out details to your guest. Come back to room and someone yelling out figured it was another guest. Then knock on the door from cleaner going check out and I said I will be checking out before 10am. Due to the lack of attention to detail in the cleaning of the room I would highly suggest that you hire a new cleaners asap.

The building was beautiful. Lovely early 1900 furniture. Nicely decorated and clean. Our room was large and very comfortable. The shared bathroom was next door- so convenient and had plenty of room. There was a large comfortable bed, extra blanket and jug with tea and coffee making facilities. Off street parking good. Quiet location. Walking distance to Homebush village.

The fridge was warm, so was a spare storage space instead of a fridge. The lady who checked us in wasn't forth coming with a lot of information and not really engaging.

Great location. Comfortable and clean. Andrew the manager was amazing. Highly recommended and will definitely be hack
