Lovely boutique hotel in Surry Hills

"We had an excellent stay at Crystalbrook Albion in Surry Hills. The hotel accommodation and location were both excellent, being very close to Central Station. The hotel is clearly committed to sustainability, very eco friendly, without sacrificing amenities. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, and the shower had excellent products and water pressure. Must also mention the excellent complimentary breakfast, with a self-serve espresso machine to make lattes as well as fruit and delicious pastries to help yourself. Lastly, the rooftop terrace is superb. We loved enjoying our breakfast in the sun on the quiet, private rooftop. Truly an excellent Surry Hills hotel with lovely staff and amenities"

Boutique gem in the heart of Surry Hills

"The most amazing little boutique hotel in Surry Hills. Quiet location and easy to find hidden on a little lane way. The ambience of the hotel was just beautiful. Every little detail has been given so much thought and attention. A little welcome note and some cookies were waiting for me. The bed was a huge king and so comfy. In the morning there were a selection of beautiful fresh pastries and drinks to take back to your room. The rooftop terrace has stunning views of the city also. Everything you need is available in this hotel and the location is superb."
