The Urban Newtown Review

A small hotel with kitchens in the rooms, a block from the Enmore Theatre in Newtown.

Best for

Travellers watching what they spendLonger staysAnyone who would rather be in a neighbourhood than near a landmark

Why it stands out

The kitchens. On a longer stay in the cheapest area on this list, being able to cook is worth more than a view.

Main trade-off

No harbour and no beach, and the area scores 5.0 for sightseeing — the lowest in the city. King Street is also loud until late.

Why we recommend it

Best for a lower rate

Our pick for the inner west because it is a block from the Enmore Theatre and a short walk from King Street, which is the two kilometres of bookshops, bars and restaurants that are the reason to stay out here at all.
