Amazing experience in a traditional style ryokan.
Service was excellent with attentive staff.

This is a beautiful, well appointed hotel in the center of Surrey Hills. Walking distance to most everything you’ll want to see. The rooms are on the smaller side, but very comfortable and well appointed.
They offer pastries fruit throughout the morning, coffee tea all day.
There is a comfortable rooftop appointed with plants and flowers, French bistro chairs, and tables. It’s a perfect place to have breakfast or to work from.
The staff was very nice and accommodating.
I would highly recommend the Crystalbrook Hotel. I look forward to staying there again.

Enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Very clean and tidy with amenities there. Liked the self service bar. The back street on little Albion street can be quite narrow if there are cars parked. If you’re in an Uber XL or larger car, you may want to be mindful of going through the street. Nice and central location with good eateries. There is no room service here.

Gorgeous boutique hotel close to great restaurants and bars.

The Crystalbrook Albion in the Surrey Hills neighborhood of Sydney is an absolute gem. It's a small boutique hotel in a safe, quiet and very walkable area just a couple of blocks away from the very cool Crowne Street, where you'll find great restaurants (many pricey - but everything in Sydney is pricey esp at restaurants - but a few reasonable), and ice cream shops and a cool high end grocery. It's very cool, and the place to be. Any day of the week you'll find many Sydneysiders coming out for drinks or dinner and even without a car, or if you are travelling alone, you are steps away from being in the middle of things. It's a very european vibe, in fact I discovered an awesome very French style bar/cafe literally steps from my door. The hotel has excellent attentive staff, the place is furnished w great art, artful design touches throughout, plus free breakfast (delicious pastries and a cappucino machine in the cozy "Honor Bar"). My only quibble with the place is that the only way to communicate with the front desk if you need anything -is to text them via an ipad in the room but unfortunately no one told me they don't respond to the ipad (only a text back to your phone as I later learned) so I'd spend time waiting for a response that never came until much later after having to go to speak to them.They are on 24/7 though and very lovely and very responsive at the end of the day, so it was a minor issue. Otherwise, I love this place. Plus reasonable rates by US standards!

We stayed in a 'cosy' room. It had everything we needed. The honesty bar facilities, with breakfast pastries and coffee machine, were a really nice touch. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

The Crystalbrook Albion was so nice. I dont have a negative thing to say, the attention to detail the staff puts into making the place clean and inviting was outstanding. I would most definitely stay here again and again!

I was dropped off at night on Albion Street as driver couldn’t find entrance on little Albion as it wasn’t lit up so we drove past. I had to ask a stranger to call the hotel to let me in as I didn’t have the ability to call on my Canadian phone. Was starving and wanted to order room service… no restaurant which was not mentioned on line or I missed that either way was annoying. The digital key didn’t always work the gate when I was coming back to hotel and noone was at reception one time to buzz me in which was also annoying as I was desperate to have a pee…. Last glitch was the elevator broke one day so had to climb to fourth floor which ordinarily not a big deal but I was jet lagged and very tired! These things happen though. Otherwise great location once you get past the main entrance is off essentially an alley so I was able to walk all over downtown Sydney. Super super comfy bed and pillows!! I would stay again but plan for food better …

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Wonderful friendly staff, lovely pastries in a morning and tea/coffee. Loved the roof and nothing was too much trouble! If we come back to Sydney we’ll be staying again!!!

The hotel was quaint. The staff were all very personable and helpful. The location is in a neighborhood with many pubs and restaurants around. It is a very short walk to public transportation to get to the city within 15 minutes.

A charming hotel with a very welcoming atmosphere

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good location. Intriguing building and surrounds showing respect to local history. Rooftop garden provides a sense of extra space and privacy. Gin time a reception is an extra touch of congeniality.

Had the best time at the Crystalbrook Albion! The hotel itself is lovely and unique, and located in a great part of town. The team's communication was excellent (they texted ahead of time to make sure we didn't have any questions) and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, going above and beyond.

What a find! This is a beautiful boutique hotel nestled in the back lanes of Surry Hills. The mix of old and new architecture is seamless - perfectly done. Come for the rooftop space and the honour bar - what a great idea!

Beautiful place in perfect location, staff were friendly and warm, this is my new staycation spot for sure. Also perfect is you’re travelling to Allianz or Olympic Park.

Staff were incredibly lovely, it was a very modern in design but felt like you were being welcomed home. Would definitely stay again.

Nice hotel tucked away in an alley. The room was small but enough for my wife and I and the roof top was a nice place for a night cap under the stars.

When we walked into the property (3 hours before check-in time and following a flight from L.A.), we were greeted with a smile and great service. While our room was not ready, the manager arranged to have it prioritized...and offered us a shower, pastries, and coffee while we waited. The room was as advertised. Clean. Well-appointed. Comfortable. The location was perfect. It was quiet, but close to public transportation (which is fantastic in Sydney). Unrelated to the hotel, but worth noting is Shaffa (a couple doors down). We booked dinner there because it was close to the hotel -- but during a trip where we at at restaurants with "Chef's Hats" and "World's 50-best" accolades, this was probably the best meal we had. We would stay at Crystalbrook Albion again. It's a gem.

I was so surprised by this property- It was amazing that we were upgraded to the best room in the house due to availability! but the communal areas are still so beautiful.
I can't wait to return! The location is also excellent for walking to Central Station. It is up a slight hill, but nothing too taxing!

Disappointed with my room not quite as described, lift was not working so having a room on the 4th floor was horrendous. Breakfast was not ready when I left, but I think it’s not that good from what the reception told me.
