This is an absolute little gem of a place in Darlinghurst Sydney. I was impressed when I made the reservation and even more so when I arrived - Really friendly and helpful staff and management. A budget hotel it may be but it far surpassess many other rated properties I have stayed in around the world ! The hotel is... more

The Altamont is a nice boutique hotel in central Sydney, consisting of 14 well decorated bedrooms, a reception area with a bar, and a terrace with views of Sydney skyline that guests can use until 23.00. Some guides describe it as what backpackers hostels should be like but do not let this simplistic definition fool you. Although there are many... more

The Altamont is exactly what it claims to be, a small "boutique hotel for the price of Sydney’s local hostels". It is neat and clean with staff that are both friendly and helpful. The words cosy, warm and rustic comes to mind when thinking back on our stay. When returning from our excursions, we were greeted by Alan and his... more

Reception is open from 8am to 8-9 pm. Outside these hours, you can only enter the hotel when having a room key. Take this into account... more

The floors are of bare concrete, the bathroom in one of our rooms is decorated all in matt black paint. There are no black-out curtains or blinds... more

Our family, Mum, Dad and two teenage boys have just returned home from a 5 night holiday in Sydney. The Altamont Hotel was like a home away from home...a pleasure to stay at. My husband and I independently researched our accommodation options and we both coincidentally selected the Altamont! After a phone call to Alan who could not have been... more

Altamont is truly the best value hotel I have stayed at in Sydney, and one of the best i've seen anywhere. It has a small number of rooms with a relaxed and personable atmosphere. If you're like me and are sick of the mono-culture general hotel standard and don't wish to pay for things you don't need then this is... more
