Location in Darlinghurst

Medusa is on a quiet section of Darlinghurst Road, between William Street and Oxford Street. It's a five-minute walk from the city's attractions. The hotel is 2 km from the Art Gallery of New South Wales, 2.5 km from Hyde Park Barracks Museum and The Royal Botanic Gardens, and 3 km from the Sydney Opera House. Oxford Street, known for Sydney's Mardi Gras, is nearby. Medusa shares its street with parks, historic houses, and urban developments.

Things to Note

Medusa Hotel is accommodation only; food and beverage options are available around the hotel. Room amenities include a kitchenette with a microwave, a minibar fridge, and tea and coffee-making facilities. Medusa automatically gathers data on television ratings, visitor numbers, and area frequency to improve service. Room 201 features a turquoise wall with a wood bedhead and lilac and pink inlay.

“In my opinion, this boutique hotel distinguishes itself with a prime Darlinghurst location, close to King's Cross station and local dining, along with its uniquely decorated rooms. Though some find aspects of the heritage property dated, the friendly staff and neighborhood charm make it a worthwhile stay. It's a solid choice for those seeking character over contemporary polish.”
