Hotel Description
You know what? I walked past this place on George Street probably a dozen times before I actually stayed there, and honestly, I was kicking myself for not booking it sooner. The thing about 569 George Street is that it sits right in that sweet spot where you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the chaos around Circular Quay that you can actually get some sleep at night.
The apartment itself is pretty much what you’d expect from a solid 3-star setup – nothing fancy, but everything works and there’s actually room to breathe. Three bedrooms means you’re not playing musical chairs with your luggage, and I mean, having a proper kitchen when you’re staying in Sydney CBD? That’s worth its weight in gold considering what you’ll pay for breakfast down at the cafes on York Street. The living area has this slightly lived-in feel that I actually prefer to those sterile hotel rooms – it’s like staying at a friend’s place who happens to live in one of the most expensive postcodes in Australia. The windows face George Street, so there’s definitely some traffic noise during the day, but it dies down quite a bit after the evening rush. Pro tip: if you’re sensitive to street sounds, pack some earplugs or use the white noise from the air conditioning.
What really sold me on this place was stepping outside and realizing I could walk to Town Hall station in about three minutes – and not that touristy shuffle either, I’m talking a genuine quick stroll. Wynyard’s basically around the corner too, which means you’ve got trains, buses, and ferries all within spitting distance. The QVB is right there when you need to duck in for something decent to eat or just escape the weather, and you’re close enough to Martin Place that grabbing lunch from the food courts becomes a legitimate option instead of a major expedition. I spent one morning walking down to the harbor via Pitt Street, and it hit me that I was staying somewhere locals actually live and work, not just where they dump the tourists. The building itself has that slightly tired but dependable feel you get with older Sydney apartment blocks – nothing’s falling apart, but don’t expect marble lobbies or doormen in fancy uniforms. Check-in was straightforward enough, though I did have to coordinate with the property manager rather than just rolling up to a front desk.
Look, a 7.3 rating sounds about right for this place. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it delivers exactly what it promises – a proper apartment in an absolutely prime location without the premium hotel prices. If you’re the type who values being able to walk everywhere over having someone fold your towels into swan shapes, this is your spot.

Unit right on George street so location was good

Also dishwasher didn’t work and no tea towels and no sharp knives or teaspoons and just few things in cupboards had to be washed before usedIt’s in a perfect location in the heart of CBD which we enjoyed very much.
