Nesuto Chippendale

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about the Nesuto Chippendale? It’s actually got this quiet, residential feel despite being smack in the middle of one of Sydney’s most up-and-coming neighborhoods. I mean, Chippen Street isn’t exactly a main thoroughfare, so you’re not dealing with constant traffic noise – which honestly surprised me given how close you are to Central Station and the CBD.

The thing about staying in Chippendale is you’re basically in this sweet spot between the university crowd and the creative types who’ve been slowly transforming the area. Walk five minutes toward Broadway and you’ll hit that massive shopping center, or head the other way toward Central Park (the development, not the New York one) and there’s this whole strip of decent cafes and that Yellow Bistro everyone raves about. The hotel itself feels more like serviced apartments than your typical tourist trap – which makes sense since plenty of guests seem to be longer-term stays, maybe academics or people relocating for work. The lobby’s pretty understated, nothing fancy, but the staff actually know the neighborhood well enough to give you proper directions instead of just pointing at a map.

Here’s what I really appreciated: the rooms are genuinely spacious by Sydney standards, with actual kitchen facilities that work – not just a sad mini-fridge and kettle situation. The laundry setup is clutch if you’re staying more than a few nights. Parking’s available but you’ll pay for it, which is pretty much standard for anywhere in the inner city these days. The building’s got that solid, slightly industrial feel that fits the area perfectly – Chippendale used to be all warehouses and factories before the gentrification wave hit. It’s not going to win any design awards, but there’s something refreshingly honest about the place. You’re definitely not getting harbor views or anything Instagram-worthy, but you’re also not paying those kinds of prices. The 7.8 rating feels about right – it’s a solid, no-nonsense option that does what it promises without trying to be something it’s not. If you’re the type who wants to feel like you’re actually staying in Sydney rather than some tourist bubble, and you appreciate having proper space to spread out, this place makes a lot of sense.

• Exceptional staff who went above and beyond; accommodation that is value for money. – Alisha1986 from Australia (9/10)

  The staff were phenomenal; I'm an awful sleeper so was hoping for a room quite far from the main road; they did their best and unfortunately I was still a bit of a pain. The way it was dealt with by Phil was exceptional and he went above and beyond to assist and ensure the best outcome for everyone.
  The rooms are basic but a great size, good kitchenette facilities and while dated, are clean and tidy.
