I had a pleasant stay at the Vulcan Hotel Sydney, with excellent staff who truly made me feel welcomed. The location was fantastic, allowing me to explore the city easily, although the room's overall appearance could use some updates. While breakfast was decent, I felt that there were some areas in the room that left a bit to be desired.
Rooms

The room was relatively small and had some dated features, but it was clean and quite. I appreciated the zero-tolerance noise policy, making it a comfortable space despite being near the street. However, I did wish for brighter lighting in the bathroom and more storage options.

The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to access attractions in Sydney. It’s within walking distance to various restaurants and the Central train station, which was a big plus for me. However, its one-way street location could be a bit confusing for cab drivers.

The breakfast was a nice addition, especially the lamington bites, but I was a bit disappointed that barista coffee wasn’t included. It started a bit late for my early travel plans, but overall it was decent for a hotel breakfast.
Facilities

The hotel offered some great facilities like room service and housekeeping. While I found the amenities satisfactory, the lack of an iron in the room was a bit inconvenient, as I had to use one in the hallway.

I found the location to be ideal, close to the event I was attending and just a short walk to Chinatown and public transport. However, it took about 10 minutes to walk to the nearest station, which wasn't great in the heat.
