The Savoy

We like this hotel and have stayed here several times. The central rooms have no windows to the outside which is mot great. But overall the location, price, safety and comfort of this hotel works for us.

We use this hotel regularly for overnight stays when we visit Sydney. It’s good value for money in the vibrant heart of Double Bay. We can easily walk to the bars, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep. Reception staff were super friendly this visit, and the room was of moderate size, clean and adequate for our overnight needs. We find this small hotel very useful and will return.

The location is great and staff is great. There is a beach a quick 5min walk away fromthe hotel, and both busses and trains are within walking distance. The rooms could do with some upgrades/maintenance, but are clean and good for the price we paid.

Room & linen very clean. Bed supercomfortable. Staff friendly and accommodating. They offered free upgrade to family room, hence heaps of space. Arrived 10pm. All quiet and peaceful. Suited my needs perfectly. Great value for money. Vibrant cafes and shops at the doorstep. Less than 5 mins walk to Double Bay beach/ jetty and views of the boats and waterfront. Only complaint is I couldn't get the jug to work, but plug may have partially pulled out from wall (it was high up and out of reach). 10/10 for value for money.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING IN EVERY WAY!Our experience here has been nothing short of a nightmare. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was a complete disaster. The room reeked of stale cigarettes, creating an unbearable atmosphere. The bed was as hard as a rock, making it impossible to get a decent night’s sleep. To make matters worse, the walls are so thin you can hear every single noise from the neighboring rooms. As for parking? It’s practically non-existent, adding even more frustration to an already disappointing stay.

Why have I given 4-stars? Not for the room. Best thing about it? It was clean. It was a place to sleep during a "forgotten weekend." Basic, dated. But sufficient. The service? No. Don't get me wrong, staff were polite and friendly. But when it was pouring rain and I asked for an umbrella, all I got was an optimistic platitude that the rain would soon cease. (It didn't). Location. That's it. Heart of Double Bay. I happened to be visiting the area and needed a pad close to festivities. All the glitz and glam of 2028 for $140 a night. As a cheap place to sleep, Savoy met my expectations.

This is truly a low quality hotel, but there were also good things about it. The location is wonderful. The front desk staff are very nice and helpful and polite. My bed was comfortable and the linens were clean. BUT…the rooms are dated and don’t feel nice. For example, the fan in the bathroom in our room made a horrible sound whenever we turned the light on. The rooms smell stale. There are storage containers and towels and bedding in the hallways. There were refilled soap and lotion containers in the bathroom, but instead of being over the sink, they were at the side of it, so soap an lotion kept spilling on the floor. We did request housekeeping and the housekeeping service was good. It felt like we were staying in a “dive” type hotel - the type of hotel a person gets stuck in when he or she is down on his luck. The hotel just feels run down. I hope the management may consider making improvements since this hotel could be nice again.

First of all I booked a superior room with a courtyard view and got “upgraded” to a street view. Unfortunately said street had garbage trucks at 6am. The windows sound like they are open and the room super noisy. The toilet leaks so they had a towel wrapped around the base. If my room was superior I’d hate to see a standard room. On the plus size it seemed clean and the bed was ok. I learnt the lesson what you pay for is what you get.
