You hear to over and over in reference to hotels. ”You get what you pay for.” So, this place is cheap. For Sydney (where hotels are becoming absurdly expensive) it is very cheap. So, yes, it is old. The bathroom with its grey-green tiles reminded me of an old country hotel. The glass surround of the shower is grungy (but not dirty). The curtains don't quite fit. BUT ... the location is astounding. As advertised, it is literally a minute's walk to Sydney Town Hall. It is right in the very heart of the city. It is clean. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The place is quiet (note I had a room on the fourth floor - it may be noisier lower down). It has a modern working lift. The Wifi is good. The TV is erratic. And, most surprisingly, the room was actually quite roomy. The Coronation is MUCH better value than many inner city hotels. There are some that are more expensive which have only shared bathrooms; there are some that are very slightly cheaper that was actually pod or capsule hotels. Here you can get a proper room, a roomy room, with an ensuite bathroom, right in the heart of the city, cheaper than less well appointed alternatives. Sure, it's old. It isn't the Ritz. But it also doesn't charge Ritz prices. In truth it is an average establishment, but I am rating it very good because it is actually much better than expected, and the price - for the location - is fantastic. People will complain about it because it is old. Eventually it will get upgraded, and then it will be modern and white and gleaming - and much more expensive! Until that day, I'll stay there again, happily.
