Punthill Little Bourke

Pros: Walking distance to various places. Cons: some other clientele, and the specific staff we dealt with It was a cheap place, one of the cheapest online. So I didn't have high expectations. But even with the low expectations, this was disappointing overall. Stayed 2 nights out of the 3 and just left before the 3rd night. Didn't even get a refund for the night we didn't stay. We found blood and a bandaid in/on the pillowcases in the room we were sleeping in, and when we told the guy there, instead of being understanding about it, he constantly tried to frame it as "are you sure these are not your pillowcases, because they're not ours" and counter-argued about the fact that we had brought a dog and didn't pay the $250 dog cleaning fee (despite us following all steps correctly, I don't know why we weren't charged that, but it's a tiny non-shedding dog that didn't make a mess anyway, so they didn't lose anything). I agreed to take time out of the event that I was at to come back to the hotel for an earlier checkout so they can sell the room to someone else, and we can talk about it to resolve it, but despite agreeing about it, he wasn't there, and there was another staff member instead. She suggested we can move to another room, but I had lost all desire to stay with the whole way it was handled and how my time was wasted and unrespected, even though I came back earlier than I usually would (came at an agreed 4pm to give them time to clean it out and sell it. to someone else, instead of the usual ~8-9pm) Unfortunately, we couldn't amicably resolve it by moving to another punthill location and I was put off by how they handled the whole situation, so we just decided not to stay another night. I didn't even ask for a refund for the night because of the whole argument about "we didn't pay the pet fee, but we'll waive that for you". I don't need to comment too much on the other reasons we didn't like the hotel, as I understand the hotel cannot completely control the types of clientele they get and it was a cheap place, so obviously set your expectations in line with that knowledge. But they can definitely control how they handle a situation and how they treat customers, especially patient ones.

Didn’t let me check in for no reason and refuse the refund!!! Avoid this hotel

I recently stayed here for business trip, and I can’t say enough good things! The location is absolutely great for business. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Location is just right at the center of China town, plenty of nice restaurants around and easy access to city tram. Hotel room is comfortable and clean.

Staff were very helpful, nice and clean room.
