The Chippendale Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Nikki Vasiliadis
Excellent hotel! Wow, wow, wow. This place is simply charming and cool. The staff are friendly and welcoming and look happy to be at work. The rooms are functional and a vibe. Floorboards are fresh and clean, great natural clean smell. Beds are comfy, the kind that you sink into. Bathroom is a class enclosure with frosted panels for some privacy. The rooftop pool is awesome with long opening hours 7am to 10pm. Its a narrow lap pool next to the bar which can be a bit initiating Lots of cool features and a lovely blend of old and new. Valet parking is $70 which is a bit pricey but worth the money if you dont want to bother parking in one of the overnight car parks in the Broadway area. Right next to Spice Alley and Sydney Central Chippendale so lots of food options in the area
5 Star Review by Kathryn Gosby
We stayed at The Old Clare Hotel for one night as a treat following an extensive road trip in a camper van in February 2017. We had arranged valet parking when we booked the hotel, so contacted the hotel reception to arrange collection of our car once we had arrived to the hotel. The hotel reception staff were very welcoming and arranged for our bags to be taken up to our room. The hotel is beautifully restored with quirky details and original features. Upon checking in the reception notified us that we had been upgraded from the Connell room to the one of two Show Room Suites! We couldn't believe how lucky we were and how beautiful and spacious it was. It was very much appreciated! Everything about the hotel, facilities and rooms oozes quality. The hotel was quiet and clean and although positioned further south from the harbour, there are plenty of taxis around and the train station is within walking distance. The roof top pool is perfect to cool off with a good view of the city (no view of the harbour). There is a restaurant down stairs or you have the option to order room service. The food is good quality but pricey.

If you are booking this hotel for the rooftop pool, choose somewhere else. It was very disappointing; 4 cheap/ugly/weathered day beds teetering on on the edge of the pool as there isn't room for them (I've posted a photo of one IN the pool - glad I wasn't on it at the time), no other appropriate hotel poolside seating, the pool is unheated, no service, and a public bar beside it that is either full of the kind of people who visit rooftop pool bars (....) (weekend) or empty with no service (weekdays). It wouldn't take much to turn it into a space that works both as a hotel pool AND a bar (think Calile Hotel, Oxford House) - although on a smaller scale. That aside, everything else was surprisingly good (surprisingly as I was in a bad mood due to the pool for at least 24 hours). Cocktails/drinks were great, room service great, super king bed amazing. All the staff were great except for reception (I wanted to add a name to the booking; no reply to my email after 24 hours, got the run around via phone). So - if you ignore the pool and if you aren't looking for a full 'hip hotel' / Ace Hotel experience (see below re the Lobby/Bar), then I'd recommend this place. For those with high expectations... LOBBY - if you are looking for an Ace Hotel lobby space/vibe where you can lounge with a coffee/snack/Macbook - there isn't one. It's a shame as the rest of the hotel ticks most of boxes in the 'hip hotel' playbook. BAR - there is a bar (pub) at the front. I'm sure it is historically significant and also that the drinks are great, but it's not really aligned with the hotel vibe. Felt like a bit of a rough crowd when walking through there at night, but again it depends on what you are looking for.
5 Star Review by Jess Sullivan
Loved the hand-written welcome note. Friendly reception staff. Comfortable bed and had a great sleep here. I wish there was some public parking closer but at least Novotel Central is cheap for night rate or weekends, just a bit of a hike with luggage. I havent had a chance to try the rooftop pool yet but it looks enticing, need to visit again in warmer weather :)
5 Star Review by Alistair Scerri
Came for dinner last week on the Rooftop Bar. Drinks were exquisitely nice and staff were friendly, especially this bar guy wearing pink shirt. Hardworking, service with a smile and some great humour. Keep up the good work! Definitely recommend it :)

Didn't stay but had dinner there - quirky and interesting and good quality food and drink
2 Star Review by Andrew Douglas
Im not one to complain but this warranted a review. Really poor stay. Wouldnt go back - Rooms untidy and dirty. Covered in dust, rubbish left on the floors. Bathrooms not scrubbed and vacuum non existent. (Run your finger over the skirtings, ornaments and take a look under the bed if you dont believe me). Cleaners each day were just making the bed and changing the towels. No sheets changed either which I thought was odd for a 5-star hotel. Spoke to reception about the room cleanliness on two occasions. One time they sent up the same cleaner from earlier that day to our room at 7:30pm when my partner was in the shower he asked to come in and clean in an aggressive manner at 7:30pm?? He seemed angry that Id called reception about the state of the room. Nonetheless it was odd that reception would then send him up to our room at that time of the night to clean it again? Management, shocking. Food and drink 5/10. Coffee was good though. Overpriced stay for what you get. 100% should not be classed as 5-star hotel. Bar downstairs not operational, bathrooms out of order. Needs a real lift

3 Star Review by Stella De Boer
I stayed 5 nights in this hotel, very nice and clean. Only I personally do not think it is a 5 star hotel. There was no help to bring the suitcases to the room. Also I find it a pity that you cannot sit comfortably in the lobby, there are many awkward chairs and not really a nice sofa. Also there is no toothbrush, showercap or any other toiletries in the bathroom. In addition, 2 times they forgot to put down 3 clean towels. We only got 1 towel while there are 3 beds in the room.... And what I found unfortunate that my pajamas were not folded, but thrown back on my dirty clothes. Also, you cannot have a quick breakfast at the hotel and you have to take at least 40 minutes for it. Upstairs on the rooftop when it was quiet I also had to wait 20 minutes for someone to come because the waiters were only busy with themselves. It is a fine hotel, as I said before very nice and clean, but for a 5 star hotel and for what you pay I really expect more.
