"The hotel is wonderful, but our visit was marred by not being informed that their pool was not available during our stay (one of the primary reasons we chose this hotel). The staff did their very best to help make our family welcome, though, with special thanks for Diego and Matthew. We'll be back, but will make sure that the pool is not under maintenance next time."

Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Chippendale

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at the Adina Hotel in Chippendale and found it to be a comfortable and well‑run motel that makes for an easy, stress‑free stay. The room was clean and well presented, with everything laid out in a practical way — good bed, decent pillows, tidy bathroom, and all the basics you actually need without any clutter.The motel itself is quiet, which I appreciated. No late‑night noise, no doors banging, just a calm place to get a proper rest. The air‑conditioning worked well, the shower had good pressure, and the room felt fresh rather than tired, which isn’t always the case. Secure parking was a bonus."
