The hotel was beautiful, spotless, and full of character, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. The free breakfast at TOCH was a highlight as it was delicious and worth every bit of the add-on (it was something we looked forward to each morning!). Our Connell room was fantastic, with super comfortable beds, lovely robes and slippers, and luxurious shower products that felt like a real treat. The location, just steps from Central Station, made exploring Sydney and beyond quick and easy. We also loved the Polaroid guest book; a thoughtful and charming touch that made the experience even more memorable. This hotel exceeded our expectations, and we’ll gladly stay here again on our next trip to Sydney! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d8a96f53-e87a-49f1-a8bd-e3108078602c-1757107047765.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ef9393a-59bb-4038-b439-70e64e87ae00-1757107045287.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4f4add38-1313-4e64-8fb3-6cf93bb2687f-1757107047060.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dbfa994d-7bc6-4259-916e-625e94e92fff-1757107047158.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Courtney Elizabeth Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the historic architecture of the hotel & the location next to the restaurants of Kensington Street was fantastic ##### Richard Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peter 15 Sept 2025 Boutique hotel that's only 10 years old but already showing it's age.
