Hotel Details

Location

Situated in Sydney city centre, Gia Sydney places you in the heart of Chinatown, steps from Darling Quarter, ICC, and a 9-minute walk to Central Station.
Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport is 8 km away, easily accessible via Central Station. The apartment is surrounded by numerous restaurants (Master Bowl, Gumshara, Betty's Burgers, Spicy Joint, New Hong Kong Cafe) and Tumbalong Park is a 300-metre stroll. Light rail and bus stops are within a few minutes' walk, making it straightforward to reach Darling Harbour, the Art Gallery of New South Wales (2 km), and the Sydney Opera House (10 km). The Australian National Maritime Museum is 1 km away.

Accommodation

Choose between a studio or a one-bedroom apartment, both featuring a private bathroom, a kitchenette, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV.
Studio units include a single bed, a seating area, and a minibar. One-bedroom apartments offer a separate living room, providing more space for longer stays. Each unit has a private bathroom with a shower over bath, hairdryer, and free toiletries. The kitchen is well-fitted with a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and kitchenware. Some units have a portable air-conditioning unit rather than a central system, and the portable unit may not fully cool the whole apartment during hot days. The apartment is quiet when windows are closed, though some units face a busy road. The rooms feature parquet or carpeted floors. Blackout curtains are provided.

Dining

Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchenette with cookware, utensils, and a stovetop for self-catering.
Kitchenettes include a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kettle, and tea/coffee maker. Complimentary coffee pods and a welcome basket with water and snacks are provided upon arrival. The immediate area offers a wide selection of restaurants - from Asian eateries like Gumshara and Spicy Joint to burger spots like Betty's Burgers - all within a 300-metre walk.

Wellness and Leisure

Access to a year-round outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre is included.
The pool is accessed via a neighbouring building: you take the lift to that building's reception, present ID, and collect a key to reach the rooftop pool on the 18th floor. The pool water temperature is comfortable for morning swims. The fitness centre is similarly accessible. Both facilities are free of charge.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, a lift, and intercom entry are provided. Luggage can be dropped off from 10:00 AM on arrival day.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and is free. Laundry is available at an additional charge on level 6. Luggage storage after check-out is limited - the property can store bags in the housekeeping room after 10:00 AM, but it is not guaranteed. There is no on-site reception; communication is through a chat system. Safety features include CCTV, smoke alarms, and a security alarm. An early check-in fee of AUD 75 applies for a 12:00 PM arrival. The building has a lift and intercom for visitor access. A safe is available in the apartment. Cots can be provided on request.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve parking in advance through the provided suggestions, as no on-site parking is available and surrounding public options cost extra.

  • 02

    Use the luggage drop-off from 10:00 AM if arriving before the 2:00 PM check-in; the property has no reception, so this must be arranged via the housekeeping room.

  • 03

    Prepare for a self-check-in process: pick up keys from the 7-Eleven store; the building has no front desk or signage, which can be challenging with luggage.

  • 04

    Request early check-in (12:00 PM) on the day of arrival; a AUD 75 fee applies, and availability is not guaranteed.
