I stayed in this hotel for one night. I had planned to check into another hotel which I had stayed last year but there was no vacancy. In stead, I checked into Lotel for just one night before checking in to my intended hotel the next day.

All the bad reviews written about Lotel in tripadvisor I am sad to say are very true!!! Beware of this hotel.  Lots of shady characters coming and going. All of them seem to have the key card to the access to the front door! Strange!! I even questioned one of the guys but got a vague response. Clearly there is much drug trafficking occuring at this hotel. I could hear the conversations very clearly!  I briefly went out that evening and upon my return I find some of my luggage has been stolen from my room. There were no signs of forced entry, my door was not broken into. I did file a police report and also brought to the attention of my country's embassy. The Lotel management told the police they do have surveillance cameras but for some unknown reason the recorder, "must have malfunctioned".  Such crap.....clearly the crime was carried out by the hotel staff. Avoid this place at all costs!

Here's another link of the reviews of this Lotel Sydney.
