Covent Garden Hotel 102-108 Hay Street, Haymarket, New South Wales 2000

"A huge thank you to the staff at Covent Garden Hotel for last night. My friends and I really appreciate you responding so quickly to ensure we felt safe and welcomed when one of the other patrons passed racist comments and made threats of violence towards us. Even though this person left the premises as soon as we raised the matter with one of lovely bar staff, you all kept checking on us to make sure we were safe. We appreciate you all for making sure that there is no place for racism at your amazing venue. Thank you. Also, the karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights are the best. We love it!!"

"Like many people I know, I used to be a regular at Karaoke on Friday nights here. Unfortunately the way that karaoke is now run here is such that unless you are a friend or associate of the host you are unlikely to get your turn, at least not in a timely manner. You can arrive at 8:30pm put a sign No on and wait hours,!while others walk in after you and sing several times while laughing and chatting with the host. In the past when the karaoke event was very successful it was run fairly and respectfully. I urge management to look into this and many of your patrons may return if they are shown some fairness by the host. You only need to look at some of the other reviews to see this is an issue. The bar staff and security are friendly, range of drinks and venue is great. Unfortunate that this issue is ruining the place."

"This hotel is conveniently located at one end of China Town. The crowd Covent Garden Hotel attracts is one filled with a diversity of locals, tourists and out of towners. I always love the conversations I have with people from all walks of life there. The outside seating is a great place to sit and just watch and enjoy as the visitors that China Town attracts go by. Great prices, very popular and friendly. Don't forget to try the sweets offered across the way at the window where you see all the locals lining up. The cocktails are a must."

"Thank you! I had an amazing Saturday night with friends. The karaoke night started around 8pmish and I arrived there at 7:30pm to find a good spot for the karaoke night. You can't book a table on Friday and Saturday during the karaoke night. The lady who ran the karaoke night was lovely and the 3 big screens were big enough to sing together. The machine was playing up so it stopped a couple of music suddenly and it was random that my name was called for singing. Good event to mingle with people however if you want to sing properly and don't want to wait for your turn, you need to go to a professional karaoke"
