I had a good experience at Kirketon Hotel. The location was fantastic, close to Kings Cross and various eateries. My room was clean and comfortable, though a bit small with a view of a wall. The lack of an elevator could be a challenge for some, but it worked out fine for me.

My stay at Kirketon Hotel was a mixed bag. The location in Darlinghurst is fantastic with plenty of nearby restaurants and close proximity to Kings Cross Station, making it easy to navigate the city. However, the room I had was not as clean as I had hoped, and the air conditioning was outdated. I really enjoyed the breakfast though; it was delicious and the coffee was perfect.

My stay at Kirketon Hotel was overall enjoyable, with stylish decor and a comfortable bed that made for pleasant nights. However, I encountered a few hiccups, like the automated mini-bar system and some noise from wooden floors. The location is fantastic for getting around Sydney, being just a short walk from Kings Cross Station. Still, I wish the staff had been a bit more attentive during check-in. 😊
