A little dated like most buildings in Sydney, but the little bruises aside, which could be fixed with a lick of paint, a snip and glue here and there, CONVENIENCE is the biggest plus point for the Pullman Hyde Park.
Pullman Hyde Park is but a stone's throw away from Museum Station (which is the 5th or 6th stop from the airport). Since I had only 1 piece of half-filled luggage, I didn't mind the couple flights of stairs at Museum Station. If you have heavy luggage, and dependents, then best it is for you to get a cab from the airport to the hotel. Odd GRAB service disappeared from Australia, but I didn't need it.
Around the corner is Oxford Street, where you will find a mile long of services, straight and gay bars, and clubs if you fancy kicking back a little. 5mins down down the side-street of Pullman's are pubs, cafes and Italian, Greek and Asian restaurants, all mostly pitched along Crown Street and the Darlinghurst. 👍 (Also, bus stops at Oxford Street is where you will find most of the busses that goes pretty much everywhere tourists would need, like Bondi Beach...)
10mins walking distance from the city's main shopping hub, the Queen Victoria Building Area and Westfield's, a good spread of city attractions, amazing cafes and restaurants, and Chinatown, where there's amazing good Asian food all around the Darling Harbour area (minus Indian).
I would highly recommend Pullman Hyde Park, and I'd definitely be back.
