BreakFree on Broadway Sydney, an Accor Hotel

BreakFree on Broadway Sydney, an Accor Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to BreakFree on Broadway Sydney, an Accor Hotel on that busy stretch of Broadway, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the outside — it’s pretty understated. But you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Glebe, and once you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that you’re somewhere that actually gets what travelers need. The lobby feels modern without trying too hard, and the staff genuinely seemed happy to see guests arriving.

The Glebe Advantage

Here’s the thing about staying in Glebe — you’re getting the best of both worlds without the tourist trap pricing of the CBD. Sydney can be overwhelming, but this neighborhood has this laid-back, almost village-like feel that locals actually love. I mean, you can walk to the Saturday markets at Glebe Point Road in about ten minutes, and honestly, that’s where you’ll find some of the best vintage finds and street food in the city. The couples who stay here clearly know something — they’re rating the location 8.4, and I totally get why.

The Room Experience

My room was on the sixth floor, and while it wasn’t huge, everything felt thoughtfully designed. The bed was actually comfortable (you’d be surprised how many hotels get this wrong), and there was enough space to spread out without feeling cramped. What I really appreciated was the little kitchenette setup — nothing fancy, but perfect for making coffee the way you like it or storing those market finds from Glebe Point Road. The bathroom was clean and modern, though the shower could’ve used a bit more water pressure if I’m being picky.

Breakfast and Getting Around

The breakfast-to-go situation works better than you might think, especially if you’re the type who likes to get moving early. I grabbed mine and headed down to the harbor — it’s about a 15-minute walk through some really lovely streets, or you can catch a bus right outside. The light rail is close too, which makes getting to Central Station or Darling Harbour pretty straightforward. Actually, one morning I walked all the way to the Fish Markets (about 20 minutes), and it felt like I was seeing the real Sydney, not just the postcard version.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the fanciest hotel in Sydney, but it does something really well — it puts you in a neighborhood where you can live like a local for a few days. The recent guest rating of 8.5 for location makes total sense when you realize you’re walking distance from the University of Sydney, some genuinely good cafes, and that whole Glebe Point Road scene. Plus, you’re not paying harbor-view prices but you can still get there easily. The parking situation is decent too, which honestly matters more than people admit when you’re dealing with Sydney traffic. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned because everything just… works.

Sydney’s apartments welcome families with rooftop plunge pools, kids clubs, and quick ferries to Taronga Zoo.

  The location was surprisingly very good. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and a big shopping centre just behind. Buses run along the front of the hotel frequently, making it easy to travel to and from the CBD. The best thing is that you can get a great breakfast, directly across the road, in Victoria Park. Also, the reception staff were very friendly and accommodating.
