Splendid two-day business stay.

This delightful small boutique hotel was perfect for my two day business trip to Sydney. The room was simple but very clean and quite practical for my purposes. The staff could not have more helpful. I was able to get Ubers easily from the location to get around town. The Broadway shopping centre was just up the road and I was able to see a film in the few recreational hours I had at the very comfortable Hoyts cinema.

The Vulcan Hotel has an excellent location, which is a definite advantage. However, in my experience, it doesn’t quite live up to its four-star rating. While I’m not entirely familiar with the criteria for such ratings, as a frequent traveler, I find this hotel falls short compared to other four-star properties I’ve stayed at. Although the staff were friendly and helpful, the room I stayed in had several issues, including a musty smell, poor ventilation, and an overall damp feeling.
