Oyster Hotel Review

Best Western Plus Hotel Stellar

Scene

More stylish than the average chain hotel 

The hotel facade has maintained elements of its Victorian style architecture from its birth in the early 1900’s and stands proudly on the corner of a grungy side street in its trendy Darlinghurst location. This is an area rife with buzzing media offices, hip buskers, and the occasional suited-up city slicker.The hotel lobby is plain and purpose built with a large reception counter and elevator access to the rooms. The hotel's apartment-style accommodation lends itself to a range of travelers from corporate overnight stays to extended trips with family or friends. Bar Stellar, the on-site cafe and bar, has an eclectic mix of furnishings: from church pew benches, metallic gold painted tables, and African inspired artwork.

Location

A sought after postcode, with views of Hyde Park from some rooms

Smack bang in the center of all things Sydney: from a 10-minute walk to Chinatown's restaurants, a seven-minute taxi to the Sydney Opera House, a five-minute taxi to the night life of Kings Cross, and a 15-minute walk to shopping in Pitt Street Mall. Guests are adjacent to Hyde Park, a place popular for foodie festivals and manicured gardens. Museum station is the closest train line, a five-minute walk from the hotel. To soak up some culture the Australian Museum is a five-minute walk and sits opposite the grandeur of St Mary’s Cathedral. For a late night trendy tipple a few doors down from the hotel, the Soda Factory is a secret snazzy bar, entered via a hot dog shop front through a fridge door.

Rooms

Neutral, neat and thoughtfully kitted out

The apartment-style accommodation is pleasant and kitted out with a bunch of handy facilities to make hotel living homey. Each Studio Apartment features a kitchenette including a toaster, fridge, and microwave. For larger groups or an extended stay the more expensive Apartment Suites come equipped with a full kitchen and combined lounge and dinning space. Decor throughout all hotel rooms is clean and modern with neutral beige walls, glass tiled kitchen backsplashes, and charcoal carpet. Bathrooms are generous in size, hairdryers are available and some showers include two shower heads for those that want to double-up. A stocked mini-bar, free Wi-Fi, and satellite TV channels, as well as late night room service add up for a comfortable stay.
