Having stayed at the Sydney Park Hotel in winter once before, we were excited about coming back. However, it needs to be said that our stay in the height of summer was, unfortunately, an uncomfortable experience.
Upon entering the room (on a 41C day), even the staff member who let us in was taken aback by how hot the room was. Although we turned the fan on and opened the window straight away, we were unable to cool the room down for the duration of our five-night stay. Due to it being very stuffy in there overnight, we had to leave the window wide open and this meant that we had to deal with mosquitoes and more street noise than expected.
We really love this accommodation - great location, very clean, fantastic bar downstairs - but would seriously reconsider staying again in the warmer months. Although not listed as an amenity, the inclusion of air-conditioning would be a welcome addition given that it was so difficult to get a good night’s sleep in the heat.
