My husband and I stayed at The Altamont for the first few days of our trip to Australia. Our room was at the very back so nice and quiet. It's a reasonable size, simply decorated and clean. The bathroom was painted black I think to be 'different' but it just meant that it was hard to see clearly in there!... more

We stayed at the Altamont for 3 nights on a recommendation from a friend who lives in Sydney. For the price I guess it was ok, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. However, this was the only hotel we stayed in for the whole month where we saw cockroaches (only 3). This was probably because the cleaning staff... more

This place is a real jewel. My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and wished we could have stayed more. The Altamont is a perfect storm of comfort, class and value. Location: Just two blocks from the Kings Cross CityRail station... the Altamont is very conveniently located. There's a grocery store just a block away (look for the... more

We stayed twice at the Altamont during our recent trip down under. The first time to get over jet lag before travelling round a bit; the second time at the end of our holiday to explore Sydney. It's a small, unpretentious hotel outside the main tourist area which means it is either an easy 10-15 minute walk from Hyde Park... more

The Altamont is a slightly tired boutique hotel.It has a good location near some excellent cafes and restaurants in Victoria Street. Its a half hour walk to Circular Quay area or to Harbourside, but there is a metro station nearby, and plenty of reasonable taxis. The reception is friendly and helpful. We had a largish room for three with a... more

We stayed at the hotel for 9 days and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Alan, the host, and his staff couldn't have been more helpful. The room that we were given was fairly spacious and the bathroom had a great shower. The bed was also very comfortable. There is also a great roof garden to relax in. The staff helped... more

We spent two weeks in this wonderful hotel . Although it is located very close to Kings Cross, you don't feel disturbed or annoyed by the outgoing crowd. Rooms are good, well maintained and quiet. The staff were very helpful and real heroes of the reception desk , Alan and Sam, are very nice people to talk. They provided every... more

I stayed at the Altamont two times, from Sep to Oct and at the end of Jan 2008. I loved both of the stays. The service is really nice, all staff is friendly and kind and I had a lot of fun. Mr Morris gave me a lot of information regarding the whole sightseeing around Sydney and i totally enjoyed... more
