“Great little hotel with character”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

We were a bit hesitant about booking initially for our weekend getaway given some of the other negative reviews, but decided to book an executive room and were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The service at the front desk was quick and hassle free, reception was also most helpful in setting up some parking for us prior to our arrival... More

“Shabby. Dingy. Dirty. 'Luxury Boutique' it is not.”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

1. Reservations not in order We made a booking for two people, but they arranged for a room meant for one that was way too small with a super single bed. We asked to change to a larger room and had to pay an additional A$20 per night. 2. Room defects, design issues (See photos) The 'rain' shower was more... More

“Yuck”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

I'm actually halfway through my week-long stay and it has just been a really "meh" experience. I made a reservation for 2 adults, not knowing how big the rooms were. When I got here, they dumped the both of us in a room so small, we barely had any place to put our suitcases. Furthermore, the bed was a double.... More

“Lower your expectations”

Reviewed 30 April 2013 via mobile

My room was small (which was fine as I was alone) but I would not recommend for a couple, definitely not for more than one night. The acoustics between rooms are incredibly poor as I could hear everything from the room above and adjoining rooms. There was also continual banging which could have been the water pipes turning on and... More

“Simple but definitely good enough”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

Stayed at this place last weekend. Rooms are small but if you're touring, that's irrelevant because you're not there much. It's 1-2 suburbs out of the city, but close to King's Cross. Other than that it does the job, definitely a good option for budget travellers looking for hotel-level security.

Dear JonCorbett, We appreciate the time you have taken to review the Kirketon Hotel. As you have mentioned, the Standard rooms are on the comfy side and filled with all your basic necessities for a stay of any occasion and were very pleased they met your needs. The location is second to none with such great options for dining, to... More
