I stayed at the Kirketon back in September with my partner - It was his birthday and i wanted to surprise him. Prior to arriving i arranged for some small decorations to be placed in the room as part of the surprise - They had no problems in arranging the room for me. When we arrived we were checked in... more

We stayed at the Kirketon for a 3 night stay in August 08. We were very pleased with the location, as it seemed to be in the middle of a good, lively location. We arrived quite early by hotel standards, so went in and asked if we could leave our bags. They had no problem with that and told us... more

I arrived in Sydney early in the morning and was able to get my room immediately prior to normal check in time. Staff was friendly at check in. I had booked a "compact room" for 135 AUD/night. Compared to hotel rooms in e.g. London this room was actually quite roomy for one person. It had a separate walk in closet... more

The Kirketon is definitely my preferred hotel in Sydney, the location is great, walking distance to cafes and restaurants. The rooms are stylish, comfortable little abodes, where the Kevin Murphy toiletries are an added special treat. The staff are fantastic to deal with, right from making your booking to checking out. They are professional, courteous and always make me feel... more

I was looking through the Wallpaper guide to Sydney and found a great description of The Kirketon as a great place for value and style in Sydney. While it was certainly stylish, I could immediately suspect that it was past its prime. Even so - the staff I encountered were very helpful and courteous. Very small base rooms but stylish... more

Dear Archi, Thank you for taking the time to do a review on The Kirketon. A lot has changed since you stayed in March last year. The rooms look fantastic since the refurbishment and they have all the comforts a traveler requires. You mentioned that The Kirketon has past its prime please let us know when your return to Sydney...

Wow, the idea of a "boutique hotel" seems so romantic, doesn't it? Away from the mainstream, off the corporate conveyor belt, no loyalty cards or being upsold to spa packages at every opportunity... What "boutique" seems to translate to - at least with this hotel - is "complete lack of service or comfort". In fact, I'd like to apologise to... more

This hotel is a miserable experience... Firstly the staff are unprofessional, uninformed, and aloof. In one conversation that I overheard the desk staffer was arguing with a guest who had simply requested that a taxi be called...too difficult apparently. This response may have been brought on by the fact that the same guest had just complained about the hotel's wireless... more

We arrived for a romantic night in this "boutique" hotel. To find a very tired hotel with rooms more like jail cells. The room was bare except for a bed with an old looking blanket. It felt very cold and empty and was veyr dissapointing considering the price. When we talked to the man at reception he told us the... more

My partner & I stayed at both the Kirketon and the Diamant which are owned by Eight Hotels. The Kirketon's website talks about its award winning design, but that is from long ago. The rooms are small, old, and not well maintained. The hotel has no elevator. The day front desk person was very pleasant; however, the evening clerk was... more
