This was my second visit to the Establishment, this time on my own. I arrived in the evening and the check in was quick even with a new receptionist on duty. I like the personal touches as they take you to your room and show you around. Its friendly service but they let you get on with it. The rooms... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here 2 nights for my birthday (a Saturday and Sunday night). Next time I would definitely book in on a Friday and Saturday night as not much is open on a Sunday night in Sydney. The rooms are fantastic. We stayed in an Establishment Room. They have a huge bathroom and the shower was amazing.... more

My husband and I stayed at The Establishment in March 2008 for 1 night. It was our second visit, our first being in February 2005. On both occasions, we absolutely loved the hotel. Special mention must be made to the bathrooms, they are huge and very luxurious with a lovely bath in the middle of the room and an enormous... more

My husband surprised me for my birthday by booking a night's accommodation at the Establishment Hotel. We found the service to be very friendly and thought that the room was spacious, modern and well presented - the way the old building has been refurbished as the hotel is quite impressive. The views were nothing to speak of - straight into... more

We stayed at the Establishment for our wedding night and the evening after and were bitterly disappointed. They were informed numerous times that it was our wedding night and they didn't even bother to turn the air-conditioning on, much less do anything special. The water pressure in the bath was so bad that we didn't bother waiting for it to... more

My partner and I took a trip around the world and made Australia our first stop. We considered many hotels in Sydney before selecting The Establishment. Boy did we make the right decision. We knew we would be arriving in Sydney from America around 9AM in the morning. Therefore we booked our hotel room for the night before to ensure... more

We've been to Sydney before and decided that for our second trip we didn't need to go for the harbour views, but wanted more of a boutique hotel. The Establishment didn't disappoint. It is a tad tricky to find, as the taxi driver dropped us at the George Street bar entrance, but we soon found the hotel reception and to... more

Somewhat difficult to locate. Boutique and funky edge appears to be loosing its luster. Front desk staff double as porters and concierge and appear quite thin on the ground. Also the desk staff did not seem very well informed about restaurants etc. A request for a rollaway bed had to be made multiple times. The air conditioning was less than... more

I was very impressed with the Establishment, especially with the quality of the room. The decor and ambience was simply stunning and it has to be one of my most memorable hotel stays. Some people will find the party downstairs in the bar a major drawing factor, but as for me, I am happy that the noise did not creep... more

Having been to Sydney more than a few times, and frequenting Establishment bar and Hemmesphere, we decided to stay at the hotel for once, and we were very surprised! The room had sort of a Japanese/boutique/warehouse feel to it. You enter the room, and the bedroom was very long, with lots of storage space and big desk. Slide open the... more
