This wonderful hotel is absolutely fantastic. I was a bit nervous about using one of the booking systems on this site (first time), although it worked perfectly, the hotel is happy for you to call them direct and will give you the same rates, so call them direct if you like. I recently had to travel to Sydney to help... More

I would like to say something about Arts Hotel > 21 Oxford St. Sydney. My story is going to be rather complicated as I actually live in Sydney and I have spent only 3 nights there (with option to go home, but I did not) while my friend has visited. I was a guest of the Guest. So, ARTS HOTEL... More

This hotel is in a great location. Fabulous Restaurants up Oxford road. The staff are very helpful and attentive. However, this is an old tired building that even with some refurbishment is still old and tired. The lift is the slowest lift I have ever used and there are stairs on each floor - so careful if u have a... More

The location of the hotel is good, the breakfast is excellent. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We were glad we booked a 'Garden room' . Near the internal courtyard it is more quiet than near the (busy) road. The rooms are good, not very big.

The people working at the reception of this hotel are excellent. They speak English, French, German and even Swedish. They offer you excellent advice on the city and take the time to explain everything to you. If someone is waiting, then someone from behind the desk takes over. Mark, the general manager, knows how to run a hotel! The location... More

Paid 12 dollars for their excellent breakfast and used the local Irish pub which did great food (found in the hotel info pack).Location is great with buses to the center... More

I rate Arts Hotel a 5/5, not because it's comparable to a Westin or Four Seasons, but because of my overall experience with this establishment and their hospitality. The staff is beyond incredible. They were very welcoming and helpful especially having come from USA to Australia for the first time (mardi gras 2013) This includes not only the Reception clerks,... More
