Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Hacienda is often praised for its convenient location, being within walking distance of both Redfern and Central stations, as well as local shops and cafes. Guests appreciate the clean, modern rooms, some of which feature separate beds in two-bedroom units, dining tables, lounges, and kitchens. While some found the rooms to be on the smaller side, especially for luggage storage, many highlight the good value and the well-functioning air conditioning. The downstairs restaurant with tacos is a definite win.
