175 Hotel Westmead

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about the 175 Hotel Westmead – it’s one of those places that actually surprised me in the best way possible. When I first pulled up to Hawkesbury Road, I wasn’t expecting much (honestly, the area doesn’t scream “boutique hotel”), but stepping inside completely changed my perspective. The lobby has this warm, modern vibe that feels intentional without being pretentious, and the staff genuinely seemed happy to see me arrive – not that forced hospitality thing you get at some places.

What really won me over was how well they understand their location. I mean, Westmead isn’t exactly Circular Quay, but that’s actually the point. You’re positioned perfectly for hitting Parramatta (seriously, it’s like a 10-minute drive) and the train connections are solid if you want to zip into the city center. The hotel sits on a relatively quiet stretch, so you won’t have trucks rumbling past your window at 2 AM – something I definitely appreciated after staying at places closer to the main Parramatta Road corridor. The rooms themselves hit that sweet spot between comfortable and stylish, with decent-sized bathrooms and beds that don’t feel like they came from a budget chain. You know what impressed me most? The little details – proper reading lights, enough power outlets, and windows that actually open if you want fresh air instead of constant AC.

The restaurant situation is honestly better than I expected for a 4-star place in this part of Sydney. Breakfast was solid (real coffee, not that instant stuff), and while I didn’t do dinner there, the menu looked like they’re actually trying. Parking was straightforward, which anyone who’s driven around this area will tell you is not a given. The whole experience felt like staying somewhere run by people who’ve thought about what travelers actually need, rather than just checking boxes on a corporate checklist. For the price point and that 8.5 rating, it makes sense – you’re getting genuine value without the inflated costs of staying right in the CBD. If you’re visiting family at Westmead Hospital, doing business in Parramatta, or just want a base that’s well-connected but not chaotic, this place delivers exactly what it promises.

Reviews

  It was a great experience with Very friendly staff

• I don't usually provide feedback for accommodation, but we were impressed with this property. – Jurek from Australia (9/10)

  The room was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for staying overnight (The capsule pod coffee mach was a bonus). The location gave us quick access to where we needed to be (and I expect the location will be ideal once the light rail begins operation). Reception staff were courteous and helpful.
