My recent stay at the 1831 Boutique Hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, close to Darling Harbour and great places to eat in Chinatown. However, I found some aspects of the hotel needing improvement. The entrance felt a bit unwelcoming, and my first room was quite dingy. Thankfully, I was moved to a better room which was clean and comfortable, but still smaller than I expected.

I initially got a dingy room that I found uncomfortable, so I requested a change. The new room was compact, modern, and mostly comfortable, with useful amenities. Still, I missed having a window for natural light.

Service

7.0

The staff were efficient in processing check-in. They moved me to a more suitable room quickly, which I appreciated. However, the lack of warmth during the initial interaction felt a bit off.

Location

The hotel’s location is a definite highlight. Being right at the edge of Chinatown, it's perfect for exploring Darling Harbour and other attractions like the Opera House on foot.

Dining

6.0

Though dining options in the hotel were quite basic, I enjoyed nearby cafés. I especially liked 'de la France' for breakfast pastries, but the in-room dining options were limited.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities included a kitchen area and a lift to access floors, but they felt a bit dated. The indoor mall access was also less appealing, which took away from the overall experience.

I had a lovely stay at 1831 Boutique Hotel. The room was basic yet comfortable, with a great location close to Chinatown and easy access to public transport. The only downside was the slow lift and some noise from neighboring rooms, but overall it was good value for the price.

Rooms

8.0

The room was quite basic but had all I needed, like a comfortable queen bed and a decent-sized desk. Though small, it was clean and air-conditioned, which was a plus. I appreciated the good water pressure in the shower, and while it wasn't soundproof, my room was in a quieter area of the hotel.

My stay at 1831 Boutique Hotel was a mixed bag. The location was convenient, being close to Darling Harbour and local shops, but the room I first received was quite dingy and not very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helped me change to a better room, which I appreciated, but overall, I wouldn't consider this a true boutique experience compared to others I've had.

Rooms

6.0

The first room was small and very dingy, but I was moved to a larger room after I complained. This new room was still small, with an urban feel thanks to exposed brick, but it was more comfortable.

Service

The staff were friendly and accommodating. I appreciated their efforts to move me to a larger room that better suited my needs, which made the experience better overall.

Location

8.0

The location is excellent, right near Darling Harbour and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. However, George Street was under construction, which made it a bit complicated to navigate.

Dining

6.0

The dining options were decent, with a nearby café to grab breakfast. However, the communal kitchen had a strong garlic smell from adjacent eateries.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities felt somewhat lacking, with a communal kitchen and shabby stairways. There was also no room service, which was a downside, but the walking tours were a nice bonus.

I had a pleasant one-night stay at 1831 Boutique Hotel during a business trip. The room was clean, and the bed was super comfy, which definitely enhanced my experience. The location was fantastic, being right in the heart of Chinatown with lots of eateries and bars nearby. However, the quirky layout with long corridors and staircases made it a bit challenging to navigate at first.
