Just fabulous!

Love the location, the quirkiness, the team and the building. Even though the furniture is now a little tired, it is still much nicer than your standard cookie cutter hotel design. Very welcoming and accommodating. Can’t wait to visit again once refurbished! Thanks Team Medusa for a great stay

We only had one night at Medusa but it was very comfortable indeed. Very spacious room, very comfortable bed, lovely hot water and quiet. Clean with a tiny but good space for heating up a meal. Comfy occasional chairs and a large tv. Excellent area for a stay in Sydney. We had a top floor room which was quite a climb for older folk! Excellent reception. A great stay for us.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Great boutique style property, like a great big house with rooms and en-suites. Great older style hotel with lovely interiors, however it is in need of an upgrade, particularly the bathrooms, due to mould and flaky plaster etc. Cleanliness is also lacking in both the bathrooms and bedrooms. On our arrival, we booked a transfer to the airport for our Sunday checkout and when we went to confirm on the Saturday, we were told by another staff member, that they don't do checkouts on a Sunday. Even with these issues, we would probably stay again, as I like a small style hotel, staff are lovely and it's in a great location.

Sydney at its best . 😊

Perfect . Top location in a safe area , lots of great restaurants and cafes . Easy access from airport by train , and to the city by bus, train or a 20 minute walk . Hotel is in a beautiful, large terrace . Very welcoming reception staff , who escorted me to my room , 206.... and what a room . First floor at the front , full width of the terrace with a balcony overlooking the street . Contemporary , comfortable , bespoke furniture and fittings . I turned the aircon off , and with plenty of fresh air through the louvred french doors , I had the best night's sleep . I had the enjoyed the experience at the Medusa Hotel , and look forward to my next stay . Thanks guys . 😊

Disliked: Staff & service
A very disappointing experience service wise. I left a pair of shoes in the room. I called and emailed and texted the next day to ask for them to retrieve them. Not until a day later did I get a response to say they could t see them but would check with housekeeping. It took them a daily call to respond to me by email three days later to check with housekeeping and to say they couldn’t find them and they may have been thrown away. Very, very upsetting - and disappointing.
