Mrs V L
We had a lovely stay. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout our visit.

Although the hotel is a little outside central Sydney, it was still within walking distance of Pitt Street and Circular Quay, making it a convenient base for exploring the city.

Poor Trip Vulcan

We were there through the Anzac weekend. At every hotel I keep a reasonable tip and request the room to cleaned and beds made. The excuses and the stories were noteworthy.
The breakfast was very poor and even no bread because it was a holiday. I really had pity for the staff who have to work with owners like this. Convenient location if you know sydney

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.

First stay at the Vulcan Hotel and it was very nice! The room matched the pictures in the previews. The place was clean and service was as expected for a professional hotel - seamless, easy and friendly. We stayed in the superior queen bedroom and the ensuite was adequate - clean. It was small and a little challenging for larger guests, but comfortable. Tv was limited to free tv and only some channels - Netflix and others available if you’re willing to sign in for yourself.
Only complaints were hearing traffic through closed windows. A bit of a constant dull buzzing from the city life. Bed was clean and nice, however very soft which is not to our liking (either rolling in or out from each other and feeling every movement).
Overall, close to dining and shopping if willing to walk about 10 mins. Parking was reasonably easy at the UTS underground park, a 7 minute walk. Very nice hotel and would absolutely stay there again happily.

Standard Sydney hotel

I don’t know what star rating this hotel is but it seems like 2.5? 3? I know there will be excuses about the place being a boutique hotel etc but I was a little surprised they charged for espresso drinks. Seemed a little strange for the type of hotel it presents itself as online. The staff were amazing. I had an issue with the toilet and was moved. Then I had an issue with the sound and the next door neighbor and I was moved. The staff were very gracious about it. The rooms are dated, but clean. Breakfast was fair. Location was less than desired but if you like the bus and google maps … you’ll enjoy this place. It’s about a 15 minute walk to get to Chinatown.

It's been a few years since I have been to the Vulcan Hotel, but I'm glad to see that it is still at a very high standard. The reception staff were very efficient and friendly and the room was comfortable and very clean. The whole hotel had the feel of being well looked after. It's a very short walk up to Broadway with lots of buses to the city, and an easy walk to wonderful Glebe Point Road. The rooms were very quiet. All in all, an exceptional stay.

The staff were very happy and really helpful giving us information about the parts of the city we were heading to.

We only stayed the one night and were able to park in the paid parking on the street in front of the hotel. That was really convenient.

We enjoyed our stay, the hotel is really clean. We'd recommend it and would go again.
