The hotel is conveniently located near Central Station and Chinatown, making it very easy to get to from the airport. While the facilities are a bit dated, it's still clean and tidy. The front desk staff are friendly, polite, and helpful.

The room is small (fine for 1 person to stay) but not clean. The staff there are friendly, and the location is good.
Response from Property: CiaoThank you for sharing your feedback. I am glad to hear that you found the team friendly and the location convenient, but I am very sorry that the cleanliness of the room did not meet your expectations. A Piccolo room is compact by design, but it should always feel fresh, well presented and ready for your arrival.I apologise that this was not the case. I have shared your comments with our housekeeping leaders so we can address the standards and ensure the room setup is checked with greater care. Cleanliness is a core expectation, and your feedback helps us improve.If you choose to stay with us again, we would be happy to recommend a room type that offers a little more space through room options, or you are welcome to share any further details through guest feedback.GrazieLuke Gibbs General ManagerHotel Morris Sydney Handwritten Collection

I had a great experience with the hotel's check-in service. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bedding was soft and breathable. The front desk was very responsive, and the check-in process only took 3 minutes. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and the freshly ground coffee was rich and aromatic. Overall, I'd say this hotel offers excellent value for money at its price point. I highly recommend it for business travelers who prioritize efficiency and a good night's sleep.

• Fantastic Location: Located right near Thaitown and Chinatown, making it incredibly easy to find a huge variety of great food.
• True to Photos: The room matches the pictures provided online.
• Helpful Staff & Perks: The staff are very nice, and the complimentary water refill service at the bar is a great touch.
• Building Layout: The property is a shophouse-style building with multiple small rooms and fairly narrow hallways. The entrance is also shared with the bar downstairs.
• Cleanliness: I found some dust on the shelves and had to wipe them down before I could use them.
• Amenities : The toiletries arrangement was quite awkward. They provided a 2-in-1 body wash and hand wash, but it’s in a locked, wall-mounted dispenser located only at the sink. Meanwhile, inside the shower, there were dispensers for 1 shampoo and 2 conditioners, but no body wash at all. This made taking a shower quite inconvenient.
Response from Property: Ciao LunaThank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed the fantastic location, the accuracy of the room photos and the warm service from the team. It is also lovely to know the complimentary water refill at the bar added something special to your stay.I appreciate your comments about the heritage layout of the building. Our shophouse style footprint does create narrower hallways and compact rooms, and your feedback helps us continue to refine how we communicate this so guests know exactly what to expect.I am sorry to hear about the dust on the shelves and the inconvenience caused by the placement of the toiletries. This is not the level of presentation we aim for and I have shared your comments with the housekeeping and maintenance teams so we can address both the cleanliness and the amenity setup.Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We would be very happy to recommend a room with a layout that better suits your preferences on your next visit.GrazieLuke Gibbs General ManagerHotel Morris Sydney Handwritten Collection

Great location, the staff is absolutely very friendly and informative. The room was small, but had everything we needed and very comfy. Love the location. The room was quiet. We had the breakfast for a couple of days and it was exceptionally good. I recommend it for a great place to relax in a central location next to Chinatown.

Our first night in Sydney was Chinese New Year's Eve, and we chose to stay here because it's very close to Chinatown. The hotel entrance is small, and from the outside, it looked like a bar. When we went in, we realized the ground floor is both the lobby, restaurant, and bar. There was no Chinese-speaking staff available during check-in. They required a 1 AUD credit card pre-authorization as a deposit. There's a large supermarket nearby where a big bottle of mineral water costs only 80 cents. The room provides a complimentary glass bottle of water, but I noticed the cap wasn't very clean so I didn't drink it. The room was tiny, and the hallway ceilings were quite low, making it feel a bit cramped. It was fine for a single night as a temporary stopover. Breakfast was a set menu, not a buffet. Chinatown was very lively during the Chinese New Year period, with long queues at all the restaurants.

Response from Property: Dear Xiaoyumiwangerli,Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your stay at Hotel Morris.We’re delighted that you enjoyed our convenient location, especially during the vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations near Chinatown. It truly is a special time to experience Sydney.We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the arrival experience, room size, and breakfast format. Our lobby concept is designed to combine reception, bar, and dining into a more intimate space, but we understand this may feel different from a traditional hotel setup. Regarding the pre-authorisation, the small hold is a standard security measure, and we’re sorry if this was not clearly explained. We also sincerely apologize for your concerns about the water bottle — cleanliness is extremely important to us, and this will be reviewed with our housekeeping team immediately.We understand that the room and hallway dimensions may feel compact, particularly in a heritage-style building, and we appreciate your understanding that it suited your short stay.Thank you again for your balanced feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even more comfortable experience.Kind regards, Josephine HauvuyAssistant ManagerHotel Morris Sydney – Handwritten Collection

A cozy hotel where you walk straight into a bar and a warm welcome from the staff. While the rooms are small, they are fully functional with all necessary amenities. The real highlight is the proximity to transit and shopping—Central station, Coles, and supermarkets are all within a five-minute walk.

Visited during Chinese New Year, so Sydney hotels were all overpriced. I chose Morris based on its price and location. First, the location is quite good. Navigation suggested getting off at Museum Station, but Central Station feels closer. The hotel sign is on the exterior wall, so it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. There's no disabled access at the entrance – you have to carry your luggage up and down stairs every time you enter or exit. Be aware that the ground floor is a restaurant, and the restaurant's front desk doubles as the hotel's front desk; I initially thought I'd gone to the wrong place! The overall vibe is very Australian. I booked a room with a window, and got one with a window facing a wall. Since the front desk staff only spoke English and I was only staying for one night, I didn't bother asking to switch. The room was quite small. Breakfast is à la carte, but it was delicious! It's probably the same standard as the restaurant downstairs. A meal plus a drink would cost over 30 dollars. The lady taking orders was very enthusiastic! (If you're not confident in your English, I wouldn't really recommend this place; it feels a bit too 'local'. My poor English made ordering a bit nerve-wracking, haha).

That's great! 🥹Thank you very much for the careful and thoughtful service of your hotel staff in the past two days. Even if my English is not good, you can patiently answer. This is a very good point. This trip to Sydney is too hasty. I will still choose your hotel next time.
I remember the smile of each of your service staff! Looking forward to seeing you next time!

Great location in Thai Town, a lot of Thai food for who beloved Thai Taste then would recommend to stay here. Walking distance to shopping area and Tram. Nice room design, good breakfast. Reception is at the Bar but limited Hotel Staff - still good service. Staff in the morning shift was good and the Reception who was check-in very helpful. Only, one lady, nice shift who’s wear black jacket on day of 1Feb’26 was not friendly with Asian Guests. Tone of voice during conversions feel aggressive.

I am delighted to hear you enjoyed our location in Thai Town, the room design and the breakfast, and that our morning team and the colleague who assisted with your check in made a positive impression.

The reception and bar staff provided excellent service; one evening, a staff member even personally helped me connect to the Wi-Fi. However, the housekeeping service was very poor. On the first day, I found there were no slippers, toothpaste, or toothbrushes in the room, and I waited a long time for them to be delivered without success. On the second and third days, I requested room cleaning, but when I returned, only the large towels had been replaced; nothing else was changed. One day, I had folded my pajamas neatly on the bed before leaving, only to find them placed on the phone when I returned 😓. The bathroom trash can wasn't emptied either.

Response from Property: Hi there,Thanks so much for taking the time to share this, and glad our reception and bar team, especially with the WiFi help, made a good impression.I'm really sorry to hear housekeeping fell short during your stay, missing slippers and toiletries on day one, and rooms not being properly serviced afterward, that's not the standard we hold ourselves to. I've passed this on to our Housekeeping team to look into.Thank you again for the honest feedback, it genuinely helps us improve. We hope to have the chance to make it right on a future stay.Grazie,Brooke PerryOperations ManagerHotel Morris Sydney, Handwritten Collection

Service: The hotel's front desk staff were all very polite, and the bar attendant proactively offered drinking water during check-in.
Cleanliness: Needs improvement. There was noticeable dust on the bedding and bedside lamps.
Environment: The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the Bus, Line, and Train stations. However, the overall space is quite cramped, and room soundproofing could be better.
Facilities: The in-room facilities are complete. My room was on a middle-to-low floor, but disappointingly, the window faced a wall. The exterior of the window was also quite dirty with a lot of bird droppings.
Additionally: The hotel next door is currently undergoing renovations, so there's a lot of noise, which significantly impacts sleep and rest.
