“The Ultimo's location in Haymarket places you steps from the Capitol Theatre and Paddy's Markets; I think it's a great choice for those wanting to dive right into the city's energy. I appreciate its thoughtful touches like complimentary barista coffee and pet-friendly rooms with private courtyards, a unique find in this part of Sydney. Its heritage-listed building adds a layer of historical charm that sets it apart from more generic stays.”

an okay stay, but with issues

central locationroom noiseno desk

The location was central enough. It was close to most things i needed.

the noise was bothersome. i could hear conversations from the room next door! also, there was no desk in the room, so i had to work from the bed. that wasn't very convenient.
