One of the reasons to choose this hotel was the wifi facilities. Unfortunately it didnt work. This was very disappointing.

Everything was perfect. The Haven Inn is very nice place with perfect atmosphere, good location and price. I just didn´t recive back 10% booking fee which I paid before staying. I had to pay the whole price (not the price without 10%).Is it correct?

We love this place. We've stayed there a few times over the last 3 years. The service is always wonderful and the location is excellent. Thank you.

The staff are helpful, anything you want to know, want booking, or help with just ask. There is no lift but the taff will arrange to have your bags taken to your room. the pool is over shadowed by the building, so a little cool to start but not bad. There is a good variety of food stores, both restruants and small grocery stores along Glebe Point Road. A very pleasant stay.close

Arrived at given time and date to find no room available. They did however find us another one, and took us there, but by then it was midnight. They also collected us the next day for the remaining 2 nights. Easy to get around from there. Nice pool.

The windows were singlazed and I on two sides for the bed and I could not sleep with the traffic. The Bed cover was dirty. The Berakfast finished at 9 and even when I was the at 9 It was too late. I did not complain as somebody else complained while I was there and they got no sadisfaction. When I checked out I was not offered a bill reciept and Had to ask for one to be printed. I felf very insecure during my stay there and so did my colleague who will let you now. I was glad to be out of there.close

This is the dirtiest hotel/hostel I have ever seen, the room smelt, it hadn't be cleaned properly, the air con didn't work and the recpetionist was incrediably unhelpful. I walked into and staright out of the hotel, they refused to give me a refund, even though she had said to the couple in front they could get a refund as they were also refusing to stay. Avoid this place like the plague, try travel lodge in wentworth avenue, same price and miles better.close

It was not properly serviced.We only spent two out of our three nights there.staying with a friend on the middle night so that we could catch up on our sleep. I would not recommend this place to anyone based on our experience. Its only redeeming feature was it had a swimming pool we could cool down in.close

The room was clean and good value, but it was extremely noisy, being right on the corner. Also, if you are going to advertise a "heated"swimming pool, you should heat it to a temperature that's acceptable- it was far too cold to actually swim in.

Really nice pool in the middle of the inn and just a nice area too, not too far from the city. Restaurants are just across the road too which is a big thing. I can strongly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Sydney City area. All rooms also have a nice TV, extra bed and a DVD player which just adds to the services. My rating is 9/10!close

The staff was wonderful. I enjoyed my stay and would suggest it highly. The walk into City Central Sydney was delightful as i passed many small markets and fresh fruit stands to get snacks for the day. For the price and location it was a great deal.
