4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2013 NEW

I have stayed at Glenferrie Lodge twice now, and enjoyed my stay both times. Rooms are very basic, but clean and safe. One problem the bed was TERRIBLE!!! I had to see a chiropractor after my stay, seriously! Staff are wonderful, always greeting us with a smile anytime they saw us and were happy to assist with any 'touristy' questions.... More

We rely on our guests, especially our regulars, for fearless feedback, and I've already written asking what room this guest was in so the bed can be replaced. Since we took over in April 2012, we've replaced many beds, but obviously we need to replace this one, too. If you read over our reviews, you are the first person in... More

You are right: if you are on honeymoon, you need a honeymoon suite, and if you'd booked direct with us, you'd have been given a room right next to a bathroom which can be yours exclusively - but you have to book direct. You pay a price for not doing your homework and for booking through a booking agency, because... More

I read some of the complaints about the Glenferrie and wondered if they were referring to another Glenferrie. I’ve got nothing but praise for the Glenferrie at Kirribilli which is why I keep going back. Where else for the price can you stay so close to the harbour and public transport in such a charming and quiet neighbourhood? Well, OK,... More

This is what we like to hear - a really happy traveller. We aim to keep on improving (we are painting hallways at the moment) and the best way to do that is listen to our guests and their frank feedback. You have ticked all the boxes we've been focussing on: clean comfy rooms, crisp bedlinen, a beautiful garden setting,... More

I have stayed here for business at times for years now. I like the walk from Milsons Point station and its surroundings. The value is unbeatable, really. Shared bathrooms are always clean enough and the breakfast is substantial although it would be nice to see healthier options and less processed foods. Unfortunately it is a bit noisy because of the... More

Sydney hotels are incredibly pricey and since I was traveling solo, I thought I would check out Glenferrie Lodge. The reviews I read were good, so I went ahead and booked. The place is okay. It's easy to get to, especially with the Kirribilli ferry just a short walk away. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely and I felt very... More

Even free wifi occasionally has problems, and that's what happened when you were here. Would have been worse if, like most places, you were paying $10 a day... Glenferrie is a big property, and when a booster breaks down the way one did in February, it can take a few days to locate and fix. Thank you for your feedback... More

Very pleasant helpful staff member in the evening of 16/03/13 and very rude man at reception morning of 17/03/13.

Your feedback will go straight to the staff member who was too busy to be friendly to you. I'm shocked because that's absolutely not what we are known for. I also apologise to you for the bathroom debacle: that bathroom was out of order for weeks while the floor drains were repaired, and I'm very sorry to hear the sign... More

Located just a few minutes from the ferry that takes you to the Circular Quay where you can get to the Opera House, the Harbor Bridge and transportation anywhere. Room was adequate., clean and comfy. We share bathroom, but that was no problem. We had a TV and free WIFI service. Very friendly. Old building and nice gardens

Once again, a ringing endorsement from an overseas visitor. That's what we like to hear, because it makes all the hard work worthwhile. What we find is some of our guests look at price only so they miss the fact that we are a real B and B where bathrooms are shared, so they are disappointed when they arrive and... More

You really chose an unusually hot few days to visit Sydney, so I'll bet you were glad you had the breezes from the harbour at night. We've found the breeze isn't enough on the top floor so our hottest rooms are now air conditioned. Ask for one next time you come, and thank you for your review. it's so good... More

This is most unusual, and I will ensure the staff - who are normally praised for their kindness and courtesy... More
