Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ultimo enjoys a superb location, just a short walk from Central Station and close to Darling Harbour, with Chinatown and Capitol Theatre also conveniently nearby; Paddy's Markets is just across the road. Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and modern amenities like smart TVs. While some have mentioned that the lobby appears a little dated, the recently renovated structure and strategic location for shopping, dining, and entertainment generally make for a satisfying stay.

poor soundproofing disruptive stay
The room I was given was not up to par. The air conditioning struggled to cool the room. I could constantly hear noise from both adjacent rooms and the street outside. It.

convenient location friendly staff clean room noisy lift power issue small room
the location was convenient. it was close to the city and the train station. the staff were friendly and accommodating (i especially liked how they greeted me every morning). the room was clean.
The room was next to the lift. it was quite noisy. I could hear people entering and exiting. i also heard the lift moving past the room. there was a small issue with the power during the first hour, but it was resolved quickly.

Acceptable, but Some Issues Need Addressing

The television was difficult to operate. It often took several minutes to respond to the remote control. This made it difficult to rest.
