Top Balmain East Hotel Reviews

Mercure Sydney

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, good location. Breakfast was very good."

The Capitol Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful welcoming staff who were friendly & helpful throughout our stay. Room was stylish, modern, beautiful & quiet with the most comfortable bed. Fabulous location close to trams, restaurants, sightseeing & shopping. We visit Sydney regularly & have found it hard to find a good hotel at a reasonable price until we found the Capitol Hotel which will now be our home away from home. I can’t recommend it enough,"
