Crystalbrook Albion

We loved this placed. Beautiful boutique style hotel that used to be a convent. Our room was excellent and close to the front door so felt like it was our own house. The staff were excellent and the roof terrace was a great place to chill for a drink and a chat. Location was perfect too, in the vibrant and busy Surry Hills. Loads of great cafes, restaurants, bars and shops. Every meal We dinner we had was outstanding. We will be back to stay next year.

I recently took my loved ones to visit Crystalbrook Albion and was thrilled to find the hotel incredibly well-maintained. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Hayley, the general manager, her assistant manager, Holly, and the rest of the all-star team for their outstanding efforts and attention to detail in maintaining the hotel. As the hotel's architect, I feel a deep sense of ownership and pride in every project we have worked on. Seeing the hotel in such capable hands was gratifying—it is always clean and fresh, almost as if brand new! I am confident that Crystalbrook Albion will remain one of Sydney's finest and most beautiful boutique hotels. Many thanks again.

Perfect stay at this hidden gem in Surry hills. Close to bars and restaurants. Check in was flawless and staff made my mums 80th birthday extra special with complimentary sparkling wine in the room on arrival. Our room 210 was a twin room and beautifully decorated and spacious. The bathroom was huge and the shower was fantastic with a rain shower head. Water pressure was great considering the ages of the building (an old convent). We used the honour bar which was easy with a huge range of items. We had complimentary pastries in the morning that were big and delicious along with great coffee from the self serve machine. We saw the roof top which would be perfect for drinks or breakfast but it was raining when we were there. I couldn’t fault the stay and we will definitely be back. My new favourite Sydney hotel.

Crystalbrook Albion is a wonderful boutique hotel in a fantastic location in the heart of Surry Hills. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. The room was great with a very comfortable bed and a bathroom with luxury towels and plentiful amenities. The rooftop lounge is beautiful and romantic. The breakfast bar and all day hot drinks was very welcome and if you are in need of snacks and any kind of other drinks, they are readily available on an honor system. The location can’t be beat with a myriad of restaurants close by and a pleasant walk to Darling Harbor and Circular Quay. If you are not into walking, Central Station is just a few blocks walk away. I highly recommend Crystalbrook Albion. We will definitely be back next time we visit Sydney.

It’s a super cute funky little hotel with fun decor and a convenient location. It was clean and tidy, nice comfy bed. The bathroom is teeny tiny so just be prepared and I was on the ground floor and there was quite a lot of noise from the communal kitchen in the morning which was a bit frustrating. Overall a nice stay though

Lovely stay. Really helpful staff! Little self service area was gorgeous loved it. We were kindly upgraded but unfortunately I think the hotel may have some plumbing issues. Our room looked and felt gorgeous! But it was extremely musty. The bathroom was the issue and we had to keep the bathroom door shut so we didn’t have breathing issues in the night… either mildew or pipes issues - there was also a lack of ventilation there. I think from visiting the other rooms as well there was the same issue… the only downside!

Urban room: the pro's = good location, nice tiles in bathroom, bed comfortable // the cons = no window view (windows are glazed), tiny bathroom floor gets incredibly wet when the shower is on, lots of loud building work beginning early in the morning from adjacent properties, staff interested in selling you gin, less interested when you have an issue. Specifically I didn't have photo ID so the manager did not allow me into the room until my partner arrived 4 hours later. I get that hotels have policies but flexibility and care are more important in my opinion - won't be rushing back

Very nice stay while in Sydney for a day or so. Lovely rooftop. Hotel is about a 25-30 min. walk to center of city/shopping area. 5 min walk from tram/metro station, which is also quite convenient. Would come back!

Found this cute boutique hotel on booking.com for our first place to stay on our honeymoon! It's well decorated with a friendly staff and in a quaint and convenient location in charming Surrey Hills. There's complimentary breakfast from 6:30AM - 10:30AM or 11AM. They have a little bar called the Honour Bar, which you have a wide selection of goodies to choose from and pay for later. The mister and I booked the Superior King Room Master, which we really loved. It had a big window with a bench, with lots of natural light, plenty of space and a lovely clean bathroom. Shower was perfect, linens were comfy and the rooms are quiet! You can't hear any other guests or noises from your room, guaranteeing maximum relaxation and happiness. To make things even better, we arrived to our room to find a hand written congratulatory note on our marriage, with a bottle of champagne and some cookies. We can't wait to come back!
