Hamilton Lodge

Hamilton Lodge Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Hamilton Lodge on Woolley Street, you immediately get that “hidden gem” feeling — it’s one of those places that doesn’t scream for attention but quietly does everything right. The four-star property sits perfectly in Glebe’s leafy streets, and honestly, the moment you step inside, there’s this welcoming atmosphere that feels more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than a typical hotel.

Location & Neighborhood

Glebe is actually one of Sydney‘s best-kept secrets for visitors who want to feel like locals. You’re close enough to the city center that getting around is easy, but far enough away to escape the tourist crowds. The Saturday markets at Glebe Point Road are just a short walk away — I mean, where else can you grab vintage finds and artisanal coffee within minutes of your hotel? What really struck me is how couples seem to gravitate toward this area; there’s something romantic about wandering these tree-lined streets together, and apparently other guests agree since couples consistently rate the location above 9 out of 10.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in had that perfect balance of comfort and style — not trying too hard to be trendy, but definitely thoughtfully designed. The beds are genuinely comfortable (you know how hotel beds can be hit or miss), and there’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in for a few days. What I appreciated most was the attention to practical details — good lighting for reading, plenty of outlets where you need them, and windows that actually open for fresh air when Sydney’s weather is being cooperative.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you both money and hassle — the parking situation is actually sorted. Free private parking on-site might not sound glamorous, but anyone who’s tried to park in Sydney’s inner suburbs will tell you it’s worth its weight in gold. No circling blocks looking for a spot, no feeding meters every two hours, just pull up and you’re done. It’s one of those practical touches that makes the whole stay more relaxed.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to Hamilton Lodge isn’t any single standout feature — it’s how everything just works together smoothly. The location consistently gets top marks from recent guests, and you can see why once you’re there. You’ve got easy access to Sydney’s highlights without being stuck in the middle of all the chaos. The staff seem to actually care about making your stay comfortable rather than just going through the motions. It’s the kind of place where small details are handled well, from the quality of the coffee in the morning to having someone available when you need local recommendations. For couples especially, there’s something about the whole Glebe experience that just clicks — maybe it’s the village-like feel in the middle of a big city, or simply having a comfortable base to return to after exploring Sydney’s endless offerings.

To book a hotel in Sydney during New Year’s fireworks, visitors plan ahead to balance rooftop parties with dawn swims at Bondi.

Hamilton Lodge Accommodations

Reviews of Hamilton Lodge

• Great apartment in a great location – Goran from Austria (9/10)

  Great apartment in a great location. Close to Glebe shops, Glebe foreshore, broadway and a short bus ride to the city. The apartment (unit 2 on a ground floor) is clean and has everything you need for a short stay. Aircon is a great to have in Sydney, both in winter and in summer. There’s a laundry with 2 washing machines and 2 dryers that 6-7 apartments share. Never had a problem getting a free one. Each apartment has a dedicated parking space.

• Good value and clean – Shannon from Australia (9/10)

  The place was clean, comfortable and spacious.
  The bed itself was extremely comfortable.
  The road it was situated on was pretty quiet.
  Short walk to a main road which had a grocery store/coffee shops and main bus routes on.
  The train/tram station isn't too far either, if you do walk to the station it is at the bottom of a steepish hill whichis good for walking down but could be pretty tiring coming back up!

• Very pleasant and clean accomodation – Fernanda from Australia (8/10)

  Beautiful property , seems like it was recently renovated and very clean. Beds were extremely comfortable and we loved staying there 🙂

• Great location, family friendly accommodation. – Kirsty from Australia (9/10)

  Location was perfect, easy walking distance to great coffee and food and an IGA for supplies. Also an easy walk to either buses or the light rail. But it was also a very quiet street so you didn't feel like you were in a busy city. The apartment was well stocked, particularly the kitchen appliances and dinnerware etc which was all in really good condition. Having access to the laundry was also really helpful. The staff were also very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely use this accommodation again.
