Stanmore offered us rather simple but very adequate accommodation that was a good value for the money paid. Beyond the basics, they offered a well-equipped shared kitchen space where we could have cooked excellent meals. Its about a 10 minute walk to great bus connections and Stanmore was close to the lovely Victoria Park and University of Sydney. We loved the area. The facility had keyed access only after hours, which made us feel very safe. Fellow travellers were also very respectful and quiet after hours (and throughout). Its worth noting the place requested no alcohol on the premises. Overall, this was an excellent choice for us for our 3 day stay in Sydney and we hope to return again next year.
