Booked because I wanted a non-chain hotel. The General Gordon packs a lot of charm and service into its walls. Sydenham train station is directly across the street, and it was a direct line to Circular Quay - just a great location. Quiet residential street otherwise. I would stay again and again if ever back in Sydney.

Beautiful room and well appointed. Awkward ensuite and no door to same

Always a lovely stay. Great location right next to the train station, love the pub downstairs. Awesome.

Room was clean and comfortable and tastefully designed. Perfect place to stay when see a show at the Camerlot lounge

Close to airport Good food and convenience

Excellent and comfortable stay whilst visiting family in Marrickville. Super convenient next to the station, and so pleasantly surprised at how quiet the rooms were. We ate downstairs in teh bistro also, which has delicious food. Would definitely stay again.

A nice restaurant and bar. Close to the airport.

Great for travel

Room was right above the train station intersection and under the SYD flightpath. Room was so quiet. Maybe one or two planes could mutely be heard. Security was always wandering the facilities. Close to train station and walking distance to Marrickville. Staff was very accommodating. Thanks to the whole staff. I'll be back. Chris

Amazing!

Be great if there was a shelf in the shower- nowhere to put shampoos etc. wifi barely worked. And if there were light switches for the bed lamps, I certainly couldn’t find them

A good vibe to the hotel, great service and the dining in options are great! Bedrooms nice and clean, comfortable to stay in. Walking distance to local coffee shops and convenient stores.

The room was not the layout of what I had booked. Felt like a run of house small economy room rather than a deluxe queen, noting the bathroom was tiny obscure shaped wedged into the corner, and no shower door meant water was sprayed onto the toilet. Really disappointed noting there are no pictures of this room configuration, so it was not expected. The other reviews were deceiving, I won't stay here again.

Quality of the bed was okay but it's not really clean. It smells pretty weird. Overall it wasn't terrible

Great location,

My second stay at The General Gordon, so convenient and well priced.

Had a wonderful stay, staff were lovely and the room was very comfortable, loved the balcony, a great pub!

Great location. Rooms are a good size, bathroom very clean. Wasn’t sure about the location above the pub and under the flight path. I had a great nights sleep, double glazed windows cut the outside noise significantly. Will stay again.

during the whole stay in austrailia as traveler, this stay was the best one in overall thanks for serving me good memory here. hoping your business have more success.

Really enjoyed watching the planes. No shops close by walking distance. Loved the room and hotel was great. Was great distance to venue - factory theatre. Overall enjoyable stay.

Excellent service and very clean facilities. Bed was super comfortable! Our only concern was that this hotel is not open like other hotels we’ve stayed at. When we arrived at 0930 due to our early flight in, the hotel was locked and they didn’t unlock until 1000, so we waited outside on curb for thirty minutes. When called the hotel from outside on the curb no one answered our call until around 0955. This is most likely due to our ignorance as we did arrive earlier than normal check in time.

Vibrant, character-filled pub accommodation with gorgeous styling in the room. Will definitely stay again!

Very nice room and great sound proofing considering the property is under airplane flight path. Good air conditioning. Lovely food in the bar.

The best points for us were the proximity to public transport, the dining availability, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. We will return.

Great short term stop, very clean, modern, friendly staff, food ok but room was smaller than pictured which was unfortunate as it was selected because of the perceived space, I had Room 3 a corner room on the building

One of the best hotel ecperiences I had in Sydney. Clean and friendly staff. Definate recommendation.

Good bang for the buck. Not in a touristy area, Seemed like an authentic neighborhood with real Australians going about their business.

Very comfortable beds, recently updated decor, very clean, friendly bar & dining. Great transport from Sydenham. Double glazed windows makes it very quiet.

My concern is that in the morning you put your key into the drop box but can not renter the hotel because the doors are locked. We forgot something in our room but couldn’t retrieve it. We also didn’t see a front desk just bars as we entered but were taken care of to check in. Room was clean and updated. Bed comfortable and very nice bathroom and towels.

SO quiet, even though rooms are above the pub, Sydenham station is opposite, and under flight path.

The room was excellent, as was the pub which has been done up really well. The only negative I can possibly think of is the noise due to being on a busy street, however the room appears to be well soundproofed so it didn’t concern me and I’m a fairly light sleeper

Pub is great. Close to the airport. Because of flight issues I checked in the morning of my second day. They let me in right away at 9:15 am. Late check out available.
