The Occidental Hotel

“Budget accommodation in excellent location”

Stayed here for three nights with two children ages five and eight. Hotel was exactly as advertised, which is budget accommodation. We had the en suite room and the set up was great for a family.

Stayed here for three nights with two children ages five and eight. Hotel was exactly as advertised, which is budget accommodation. We had the en suite room and the set up was great for a family. It had a fridge, microwave, kettle. It advertise that they would not be cleaning the room every day, but they did, which was nice surprise. It is above a pub, but we had no issues with the sound, we were on the fourth floor and there mid week. The one thing I would suggest is changing out the carpets in the rooms, no matter how much they would clean them they were simply too old to get a clean feel. The location is essentially unbeatable in that price range for a family.

I stayed at the occidental Friday and Saturday nights 13/14Sept. Booked online based on their own advertising. I was impressed at the quality overall. The share bathroom (very clean and well updated) concept means much more affordable accommodation. I loved the room and the in-room full internet TV which meant I could watch the US Open tennis live and any other app offered program. The elevator/lift was a bonus as I was travelling with a bicycle. I guess most of all I loved the position; walking distance to everything important to me and directly across the road from Wynyard station. Took my bike for an extended Saturday ride with easy access to upgraded Sydney bike lanes (for the most part) made a weekend in Sydney staying at the Occidental a true pleasure and real delight.

“Cheap but clean and tidy”

This hotel is upfront that there are shared ablutions, no reception desk and is priced accordingly. I arrived early after a trans tasman flight and my room as expected wasn't ready.

This hotel is upfront that there are shared ablutions, no reception desk and is priced accordingly. I arrived early after a trans tasman flight and my room as expected wasn't ready. The staff member I met advised me to come back in a couple of hours and he would get my room done first. Arrived back and got access. The room was clean and more than adequate. The ablution rooms have been upgraded to accommodate modern requirements. Great shower pressure. Fortunately occupation was very low when I stayed so I had the run of the floor. There is limited noise reduction from outside. On a busy night band noise can be heard and the thump of the bass. TV is intermittent as the aerial is rabbit ears. Not all channels can.be sourced and be prepared to.lose picture. My huge negative is the tap water. It tastes vile and recommend using bottled water. This is an old hotel with probably older water pipes in the area. There is a local convenience store nearby. The hotel.is 5 minutes walk from Wyndum train station which gives direct access by train to the airport. Light rail is also onlyb5 minutes away
