Unless you insist on Room Service and 24 hours reception ... then, maybe, this hotel is not for you! But, if you like a place where you get a lovely large room with a King Size bed, light breakfast, and free use of a super new gym close by, 10 minutes walk to the city, then Altamont is for you!... more

We've just returned from a three day stay at the Altamont Hotel in Darlinghurst and enjoyed every moment! This relaxed, bright and airy and hotel was perfect for us in so many ways. Among it's charms, the Altamont is centrally located, which meant that we could walk everywhere. It's also easy on the budget. Before booking, we researched comparable boutique... more

This isn't your usual hotel with fancy reception or facilities. In fact, I think there wasn't much facilities at all, which is perfect as we never seem to be using them anyway. The rooms feel more like home than a hotel, with great comfortable double bed that's actually a double bed, and homey furnishings. Our room had no bathtubs, but... more

Although in the King's Cross area, it is off the main night life strip.... more

We loved the Altamont! The staff was wildly helpful when we had to make last-minute changes. The rooms are very hip--do book the Tower Room if you can. more

We had a wonderful stay at this unique beautique hotel. We stayed in the family room which although simply furnished was very comfortable and accomodated the six of us with ease. Alan was extremely helpful and a wealth of knowledge about Sydney and the local restaurants. (Eat Thai a couple blocks over was wonderful) For the exercise concious, the hotel... more
