The Collectionist

Good location near vibrant Newtown. The studio was clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful before and during check-in and the check-out process was very efficient.

This hotel is boutique, in a walking distance to Sydney University-Camperdown campus and major hospitals. An easy walk to a variety of places to eat. The hotel was quiet and clean. Although no Tv I took my tablet and computer to watch TV the wifi was strong.

Staff make the experience so much better

Wanted to stay in this hotel due to the ability to choose your own rooms, but unfortunately there wasn't that much choice, particularly of terrace rooms. Aside from that, the floor, benches and linen of the room were clean but it seems like it has never been dusted at all. The power outlets had a thick layer of grit on them apparently from when the lamps were drilled into the walls. There was a large creepy mask over the bed, which we removed because it was too creepy to sleep with, but it also was covered in a super thick layer of dust, much of which was also apparent in the handprints all around it on the wall from previous guests who had obviously touched it and taken it down during their stays. The room was also full of mosquitos. The bed at least was large and comfortable.

Funky hotel, free beer allowed guests to mingle which is great when travelling alone. Manager was a great guy. Would be better if had gym membership nearby.
