Parramatta Shared Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about this place on Sorrell Street? It actually feels like staying at a friend’s well-kept apartment rather than some sterile hotel room. I mean, when you hear “shared apartment,” you might picture cramped quarters with paper-thin walls, but this spot genuinely earned its five stars. The whole setup is thoughtfully designed – there’s this lived-in comfort that makes you want to kick off your shoes and stay awhile.

The location is honestly pretty brilliant if you know Parramatta at all. You’re literally a five-minute walk from the train station, which sounds mundane until you realize how easy it makes getting into the CBD or exploring the western suburbs. Plus, you’ve got Westfield right there when you need anything, and the riverside walks along the Parramatta River are actually gorgeous – something I definitely didn’t expect before my first visit to the area. The street itself is quiet enough that you’ll sleep well, but you’re still close enough to Church Street that finding a decent coffee or late-night bite isn’t an adventure.

What really sets this place apart is how it strikes that balance between privacy and community. The shared spaces are kept immaculate (seriously, I’ve seen luxury hotels with messier common areas), and there’s this unspoken courtesy among guests that creates a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere. The kitchen setup is actually functional – I’m talking proper cookware, not the usual bent forks and dull knives you get in most budget places. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too, none of that awkward waiting around in a lobby situation. Parking can be a bit tricky on the street, but honestly, with Parramatta’s public transport connections, you might not even need a car. The 8.6 rating makes complete sense when you experience how everything just… works. It’s not flashy, but it’s thoughtful in ways that matter when you’re actually living there for a few days.

• It is what it is in the pictures. Owner is nice and patient. – Gerard from Australia (8/10)

  It pretty much looks like the pictures. The place is clean and each of the rooms is let out to other people. Parking near the building is limited to 1 hour. The nearest street that I could find was Holt street, but make sure you check which side of the street you park on. One side has no time limit and the other has limited parking time. It's about a 15 walk from the place. The room that I stayed in had a folding door, but all other rooms had standard doors. Although all rooms were occupied it was a quiet place. I was lucky in that two of the other people staying there were also solo and we got on well and went out for a meal. All appliances were operating except the dryer, but there were a few clothes racks outside on the balcony so that wasn't an issue. Coles supermarket is literally across the road which is great if you need groceries.

• Pretty good place to stay. – Kristy from Australia (8/10)

  Secure, clean and well equipped.

• Bang for your bucket apartment. – Christer from Australia (9/10)

  I traveled to Sydney to watch Blink-182 live and I found this apartment for a relatively cheap price in comparison to other hotels and knowing Taylor Swift was in town as well, most accommodation prices had sky rocketed. The apartment was modern and spacious enough with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a shared kitchen/living area and a balcony. The apartment is close to a Coles and other nearby restaurants so plenty to choose from. Easy to access to public transport with Parramatta Station being a 10-15min walk away.

• Value for money – Shambhulal from Kuwait (9/10)

  Every thing! Hospitality, Location, comfort, cleanliness, facility…etc.
