Feedback about Hotel Hacienda from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Hacienda is appreciated for its convenient location, providing easy access to train stations and nearby attractions, which makes getting around the city and to places like Bondi Beach quite simple. Guests often compliment the light and airy decor and find the rooms clean and comfortable, with effective air conditioning. The keycard system is a plus for effortless access, and some have noted that while rooms can be small, the beds are generally comfortable; a few guests have mentioned occasional noise from trains. The Everleigh Hotel, with its excellent margaritas, is conveniently located just around the corner.

Fantastic Location, Great Room

perfect locationstrong waterdifficult parking
The location was perfect for the event I attended. I found the room fantastic with nice strong water pressure. I booked the two-bedroom apartment. It was very clean with great decor.
The parking situation was a bit difficult. Once I found a good spot, I did not want to move my car. I used ride-sharing or walked everywhere.
Location
10/10
The hotel has an amazing location that is a few minutes walk from a major train station. The convenience extends to proximity to nearby attractions, restaurants, and transport options. This spot is a great base for urban adventures.
Service

Staff members were helpful. They stored my luggage while I picked up the rental car. The keycard system made entering and exiting effortless. I appreciated not having to use a traditional key.

Food and drinks at the downstairs restaurant are great with good prices. There is a taco place downstairs I didn't try. Lots of cute cafés surround this amazing location.
Rooms

The air conditioning worked well. It kept the room at a comfortable temperature throughout my stay. The bed provided great support. I got a restful night's sleep. Large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were available.

I appreciated the keycard system. It made entering the room easy! The air conditioning worked well and kept the room at a comfortable temperature. The location was convenient. It made access to nearby attractions easy.
The hotel is NOISY. My room faced the train tracks, and they run all day and night. The hotel room doors are heavy. They bang constantly. The rooms have concrete floors and no rugs. They were not swept properly.

Mixed Experience Due to Noise and Room Issues

The staff were friendly and helpful.
My room faced the train tracks, so it was noisy all day and night (I could barely sleep). The heavy room doors constantly banged shut. They did not sweep or vacuum the concrete floors properly.
