This hotel is a good hotel to start your daily Sidney explorations from. It is situated approx. 5 minutes walk from Kings Cross station. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom is spacious too. Reception is open from 8am to 8-9 pm. Outside these hours, you can only enter the hotel when having a room key. Take this into account... more

We were booked somewhere else in the cross, which was awful. After the first night we walked into the Altamont to see if they could fit us in for the next two nights of our stay. The front desk receptionist was extraordinarily helpful, and managed to fit us provided we were happy to change rooms. As a result we got... more

This is a great place all around. Book your room here and stop wasting time looking for places to stay. more

Friends and I booked two rooms for nine nights at this hotel, based on the images and reviews on their website. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we found a different kind of place altogether. The floors are of bare concrete, the bathroom in one of our rooms is decorated all in matt black paint. There are no black-out curtains or blinds... more

Our family, Mum, Dad and two teenage boys have just returned home from a 5 night holiday in Sydney. The Altamont Hotel was like a home away from home...a pleasure to stay at.

If you're like me and are sick of the mono-culture general hotel standard and don't wish to pay for things you don't need then this is... more

Great staff, location (walking distance to most everything), and value! The staff really goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome and attend to your needs. Several Sydney locals to whom I showed the premises said they would stay there themselves! Wifi internet access in rooms is super-reasonable: only $25 for the length of your entire stay. Breakfast included,... more

Like promised by the "lonely planet" the Altamont is really a nice and charming place to stay in Sydney ;o) Our modern room was lovely furnished and the pure bath design was - especially for me as interior architect - an eye-catcher (even though the complete bath was flood after showering). We specially enjoyed the relaxed ambience while having breakfast... more

The Altamont Hotel is a great place to stay if you are looking for a budget hotel with very comfortable arrangements, a extremely nice and helpful staff AND a great location in a funky and alive part of Sydney (Darlinghurst & Kings Cross) only about a 25-30 minute walk (or short City bus ride) to the main Sydney attractions &... more
