5th floor queen room at rear of property had pleasant modern decor and a tree top open outlook over local parkland and suburbia. NOT a large room but the balcony sitting area compensated. Welcoming, helpful and efficient staff. Across the road from Top Ryde shopping centre means easy shopping, eating and entertainment. Local transport hub provides easy bus service to the city. We will stay here again … recommended !

We were very impressed with the presentation of the room, a little on the small size but was well appointed, clean and comfortable. We were on the 5th level and once the door was closed to the balcony the noise was heavily reduced. The carpark space was difficult to get into for the space we had been allocated however other spaces looked to be only suitable for a motorbike or small car, anything bigger than a medium sized car would be a struggle to stay within the allocated space.

Thank you Henry for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay! In terms of parking, you may speak to our front desk team to request re-allocate you to a more spacious parking bay. We have spaces for small cars and big cars. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again!

was super excited to stay here because the reviews were so positive but that was not my experience whatsoever. when I checked in I had to return to the lobby because the wifi they gave me didnt reach my room. and then i came back in the evening and my room had ants absolutely everywhere (i had no food or anything). I tried to kill them and deal with it but they just kept coming and were literally crawling all over my bag. When i changed rooms the floors were so dusty I had to wear my flipflops in the room. and THEN I was woken up at 8:30am the next day by loud knocking at the door. When I answered it was a police officer who knocked at my door and then just walked away with no explanation?? It was very alarming. I know much of this is out of the establishment's control, but I wouldnt stay here again. And all of this is coming from a backpacker who is accostomed to staying in Hostels. Would chose a hostel over this anyday.

Hi Abigail, thank you for leaving us this review. We are very sorry that you had this experience with us. As you acknowledged, much of this is out of our control and we did our best to accommodate you, particularly by moving you to a new room despite housekeeping not seeing any ants in the first room. As for the floors being dusty in the second room, this is an issue that we could have remedied for you immediately if you had simply asked or let us know.Kind regards,Studio 8

Hi Sandy, thank you for your review. The parking fee 15 per night and security deposit of 50 that will be released back to you are not hidden fees. If you read at the time of booking and your confirmation email, these requirements will be written there, these info are also available on our website and on your reservation reminders.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed at Studio 8. I like how it's easy to walk to the shops to grab a meal and other necessaries. The room is clean, spacious and the bed comfortable. The front desk staff are also friendly!! If you're in the area, it's a great spot for convenience, even though it's close to some main roads - Victoria Rd and Blaxland Rd, it was relatively quiet!!

Stayed here for the NRL Grand Final, could not check in early which was fine so we left our bags with reception. When we arrived at 11pm after the game to check in, it was only a security guard on the desk, he could not find our bags, then bought one down after telling him we had two. He went and found the other one and he handed me the keys, both did not open the lift or the car park, he said he didnt know how to program them so he let us in the lift and the carpark, i was allocated carpark 31, which had someone already in it so i just parked where i could fit my car. Not overly massive issues and not the guards fault, he was told everything was in order and it was not. It was fine in the end and we understood it probably wasnt of his doing. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable but the check in process late at night wasnt great.

Average Stay with Great Elements
We have stayed at Studio 8 before about 5 years ago and we gave it a higher rating because everything was excellent. However, our lower rating this time was due to having a smaller room, buckled floating floor boards likely due to past water damage, reporting a nonfunctional phone that wasn’t rectified in the 4 days we were there, an uncomfortable bed, hit and miss wifi, and an average tasting hot drink at the free coffee bar at reception. Having said that, the general desk service was good, the shared amenities still fabulous, a great view from our balcony, daily housekeeping, and great location with a shopping centre and restaurants across the road with lots of available public transport.
