“The Ultimo, housed in a heritage-listed building in Haymarket, impressed me with its blend of historical charm and modern comfort near Central Station. I particularly appreciate the pet-friendly Ultimo Courtyard rooms, each with a private outdoor space, a rare find in this vibrant part of Sydney. It's a solid choice for those seeking a convenient base with character.”
