I travelled to Sydney to watch the footy at the SCG, this was the perfect location to stay. Rooms are small but have everything you need. Staff were great and helped out with an early check in.

Stayed here before watching a rugby match at the Allianz stadium. Comfy rooms, nice welcome, great location relative to the stadium. Would definitely use again.

What a find! A lovely boutique hotel with first class rooms and run by a fantastic team who know the area well and have great recommendations. They really could not do enough for us.  Perfectly situated in the heart of Paddington, a stones throw from the city in one direction and Bondi Beach in the other. This hotel really made our weekend in Sydney. Cannot recommend highly enough.

My wife and I were quite disappointed with our one-night stay at Mrs. Banks Hotel.

I called ahead to confirm that our twin room would have king singles, but unfortunately, they were just regular singles. To make matters worse, my bed was covered in short black hairs, as seen in the pictures.

We also faced issues with entertainment; Netflix, YouTube, and Fox were unavailable, and the Wi-Fi was consistently slow with poor range for guests, unlike the staff Wi-Fi which worked well and appeared to have consistent full range.

In the bathroom, we were presented with a  bath mat but no towels.
The shower's metal fixtures were rusted, indicating a lack of maintenance.

Parking was another hassle; we were advised to park on Oxford Street, which took us 25 minutes to find a spot, a bit more guidance from the staff would have been appreciated.

The "selection of pastries" at breakfast consisted solely of small cold chocolate croissants—which goes against the definition of selection.

After my wife rolled her ankle returning to the hotel, I requested ice. The concierge simply opened the freezer and stated " no ice, just a freezer".

At $310 for one night, I believe this hotel does not live up to its boutique claims and falls short of any botique experience we have ever had.
Don't be misled by the name.

Absolutely adored this hotel for multiple reasons.  Firstly the team running the show are all wonderful warm professional individuals.  Everyone we dealt with could not have been nicer.  The location is perfect.  Smack bang on Oxford street surrounded by coffee houses, interesting shops and many a good eatery.  Also this position affords it excellent transportation options including a bus stop about 2 minutes walk, jump on the 333 and you can be in the city in about 15 minutes.  The hotel has a beautiful reception which also doubles as a lounge area with free tea, coffee and fruit and in the mornings they provide lovely warm pastries.  The rooms are very well appointed.  We stayed in a standard double with a very comfortable bed and pillows, plenty of luggage and hanging space and a lovely large bathroom.  To add to that each room has a fridge, kettle and Nespresso machine.  I would also point out that  even though this hotel is in a very busy area it is very well sound proofed and wonderfully serene when you get inside its doors.  We could not have been happier.  We loved our stay and will definitely return.
