Crystal Palace Hotel reviews

1 Star Review by Al Lan

I am disappointed by their cook in their bistro. I noticed he simply used his palm to wipe over the top of the salt shaker dispenser after asking for chicken salt. Yuck! He also burnt parts of my steak and I'm sure I didn't say "over done" but "medium well". My mind started to think that he may have done something else unhygienic during his food prep making my order. I won't eat there again if I ever end up going back in there in future unless it's a different chef of course. I'm very sure I was not rude towards him. But friendly.

5 Star Review by Jonathon Woolven

The food is delicious and filling. Very clean kitchen. The bar staff are friendly and generous. If you're struggling to find a decent meal in Sydney, this is your spot.

4 Star Review by Kylie Wise

Did not stay here overnight, however, I did enjoy dinner and a a cold beer before my train trip to Melbourne. Recommended.

Popped in for lunch, wanted Aussie meal...got what we ordered. It wasn't crowded...will call in again in the future. If you want well priced meal - this is the right place...

Just review for the bar downstairs, great staff, decent selection of drinks. Few chairs for outdoor seating... Right opposite central station, wouldn't be a bad choice for accommodation near the central station
