Booked this motel for 3 nights perfect location. Staff were attentive and kind. Extra towels provided each night without any hesitation. Kebab store on site was also a perfect addition to our needs.

If I could give 0 star I would. We booked 2 rooms and both were worlds apart. Our room No 30 the toilet was smelly , the aircon was smelling cigarette....The other room No 34 had ants in the bathroom & under the bed bed. Very bad experience. Only good thing was the bed linen felt it was pretty new...

Reasonable prize and generous room size, it is clean not fancy but well maintained.

Lots of junkies and drug dealers on carpark all the time

The bed was comfortable and clean, the water for the shower was hot, and the TV worked. I arrived later than expected but the follow up by the Customer Service staff was great, making contact to understand when I would arrive, and helped with giving me directions as I was travelling by car from the airport. The Customer Service staff in the morning were also helpful with my requests for pin to setup SIM card. For a budget hotel this was definitely value for money.

Bronwyn at reception is fabulous. Seems like the bathroom of my queen bedroom was recently renovated- great water pressure.

Lea and adi have made my afternoon after a long day with great service at the bar

Great little oasis not far from Liverpool Hospital. Recently renovated rooms and they're very neat and modern. Didnt catch the ladies name on the desk but she was very warm and welcoming.

Place bet on Melbourne cup day,staff so helpful

Good bedding but service was pretty dry, the location was easy to come by

The girl minding the bar on her own tonight (I should’ve asked for your name) was so friendly and is a great bartender. 5 stars ☺️

it is basic hotle . nice location . close to hospitle . train station .

It's a simple accomodation for short stays.It would be nice if they contact their guest if they are checking in after hours.

Reception super friendly, ❤️under renovation clearly but...rooms that are ready are amazing! fresh,⭐ tv.? all the channels you want with free wifi. Shower... I could have stayed in it for an hour!😂😂

Very clean and tidy recently renovated, a pleasant surprise. Pleasant helpful staff 🙂👍

Good place

Worst place ever 😪 💔 I sat pretty much on the one machine all day long an the last time I ever ever wish to go back to a place where junkies run rings around the staff and redeem n take over the machine. When approached, he collects n withdraws the funds. I do not appreciate being, then my drink snatched from my hand and band from the putrid scummy money laundering joke of a place 😒

Best budget accommodation in Sydney with a fantastic Mexican restaurant my favourite place to stay

Somehow the service was not okay

Very disappointed walked into a wet patch in the carpet just outside of the bathroom it looked like the leak was coming from outside as it rained heavily told receptionist they responded quickly but couldn't do anything to fix it so they gave us our meal free. Hot water always was running out. Won't be staying back here again. But the staff was very friendly & nice

Very friendly staff great service. Rooms are very clean I would highly recommend the el toro The el toro is close to everything major shopping centre, railway station ,hospital ,and clubs. I will be back Regards Peter Farrar

Staff and atmosphere had me extend my stay.

Excellent

Average

Very friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff

I walked in, was horrified and walked out! The photos on booking sites were very misleading to me. I opened the door and immediately noticed stains all over the carpet. Bed base on the floor, bed lamps with exposed wires and no covers, wall with mould and god knows what else all over it. Entered the bathroom to find the shower in an appalling state. I felt like I was catching diseases simply standing in the room so I immediately left to be told the refund cannot be given until tomorrow as no manager was onsite. Photos attached are what I saw on arrival before DEPARTING! quickly.

What an experience the El Toro is. I have debated whether it deserves 2 stars or 3, but I think ultimately due to the pool deception it lands on a 2. Is the El Toro nice? No! But does it have that quirky niche charm? Also no. It's a dive (but don't dive into the pool/swamp... you will break your neck). However, is it priced accordingly? Yes. We had the pleasure of staying in room 7, and my 3 criteria for a budget hotel were met. The bed was acceptable and didn't have any signs of bed bugs or crawlies (However, I would never take a black light any where near it). The shower had plenty of pressure, and hot water... plus you got a bonus water feature as it's impossible to not flood the floor. And the aircon worked a treat without making any crazy noises. My other criteria of having a window that isn't hanging in the frame by a concoction of different tapes wasn't met - fortunately know one decided to exploit that easy access to our room. And for what ever reason it just didn't really bother me. If you need a bed for 1-24 hours (for what ever variety of reasons you may need a bed for 1-24 hours) then this is probably the place for you. The pool is empty - don't let the pictures fool you.... It's been empty a long time too. Don't come here for your summer splash vacation. The check in staff were friendly, the check in area did smell like a sealed smokers lounge you see at some airports but fortunately you don't need to be in there long. Other positives were listening to the other guests above us having continuous domestics (not the hotels fault), finding hiding spot for our valuables in car (hot tip: hide it in the spare wheel well), wondering why the room smells so strongly of chemicals (was it an unaliving?, was it a multi person love fest?) - just a few of the ways to pass your time at the El Toro. Would I stay here again? No. Do I regret staying here? No. Would I recommend it? No with an * Was it a learning experience? YES! And again - Credit must go to the staff, the front desk were very friendly and I can only imagine what the cleaning staff have seen in their time there and they surely deserve a medal/hazmat suit. *If you are after a dirt cheap bed and shower, this is actually suitable - but I would still check the bed for bugs first.

Firstly, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly! We were upgraded to a family room at no extra cost and staff made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed all weekend. The rooms were a good size and the beds were very comfortable. Rooms had pretty much all of the basic stuff you would need. Location was great, with a restaurant and bar within the complex and a cafe just across the road. Train station nearby and very close to Liverpool. Overall, a great place to stay!

Luv it

Tidy and affordable

It was fine for business trip

The front desk lady was nice enough in the beginning, although she talked on the phone and made us wait for five minutes. Reception was as old as the rooms and stunk like cigarettes. As soon as we went up to the room it felt sketchy and reeked of cigarettes as well. My friend checked her bed since she had a feeling it would have bedbugs or something and a cockroach jumped out at her. Then as she was telling me abt it a spider crawled across the wardrobe on the other side of the room. All within the first five minutes. We went back downstairs and told the lady and although she didn’t believe us she gave us a full refund. Also the photos of the room on their website look 100x better than actual room, we regret not taking photos.

Value for money with a good location near the mall and many restaurants.

I wouldn’t stay here again if you paid me. What a mistake The pool is empty and apparently has been for years - false advertising using those pictures online!! Air conditioning doesn’t work - we stayed on a hot night and it was hell, the a/c didn’t cool whatsoever. They don’t even provide a fan instead The carpets are disgusting, like the filthiest I have ever seen. The whole room felt unclean and unsanitary, I’m surprised I did not get bedbugs.

We had a lovely meal in the restaurant there

Rubbish, staff more interested in socialising in the office than serving, don't waste your time

Its good but at afternoon the reception is closed. You should be do your booking by online before go to the hotel.

Won big

Had the best time here. The food is absolutely delicious the place is gorgeous and the staff friendly.

PATHETIC EXPERIENCE AT AL TORO. Checked in 12 am at room 1 and had to change the room at 3 am (room 24) in the morning after a 12 hours drive. Both rooms had stinking, smelly and extremely dirty carpets, the toilets were damaged and don’t flush, the worst of all was the BED BUGS. They made us scratch for days. Everything is nasty and dirty at AL TORO. THE WORST EVER ROOM AND MOTEL. DO NOT FALL FOR THE PRICE. We then changed our hotel and opted for Nightcap at Hume hotel that is only $15 more per night but with the best offerings.

Be aware, bed bugs.

I requested some special request like room in the upstairs and for microwave to the hotel fron trip app. The receptionist mentioned there is no request she can read. She was trying to give room in the ground floor. My request was fulfilled the next day but was unexpected. Overall the room is really nice and service too.

Gju

THE BUTCH WITH THE SHORT HAIR AND TATTOOS ON HER NECK, SERVING WARM DRINKS WITH RAJ. YOUS HAVE A SWITCH BEHIND THE COUNTER SO ONLY PEOPLE YOU KNOW GET FEATURES, YOUR FEMALE WORKERS LOOK SO DESPERATE ARMS AROUND THE CHAIR OF THE PATRON WITH THE MOST MONEY. PATHETIC. MOLES.

Clean, lots of parking, friendly staff, open late

It is what it is..

Excellent service, do check this out everyone🍻🍺

Jckpot

Been waiting for a month to get back my bonds and still waiting, they keep saying my bonds will be deposit into my account in the next few days but until now is 4 weeks nothing happens

Friendly staff. $100 bond cash or card

Excellent service. Close to everything

Lovely atmosphere, food was a little oily, but not too bad

Its better then it was and the Mexican restaurant is good.

Horrible stay and will never come back. Not clean, bad smell in the toilet room 5.

Absolutely disgusting. Would rather stay at a an Ibis.

Best Mexican food in Sydney...loved so many dishes including TACOS...

I have been here numerous times have learnt alot experience's lessons in life in General & another unspoken circumstances but yeah ,I am a bit scared of what lies in under & beyond that swimming pool it is sooooooo scary even for me ....

Handy spot right near to Liverpool CBD but nice and clean, quiet and cheapest prices. Stayed here a few times now and the rooms really could use a refresh i.e. repaint and re-carpet (minimum) but it is a 3 Star motel and the rooms are very clean and mattresses ok.

Mouldy smell everywhere. This hotel needs a good renovation soon.

Didn’t realise there was a nightclub at the place when booking. Literally can’t sleep.

You get what you paid for. The rooms are old but they are serviced daily ( linen not changed on a 2 day stay) clean and cosy. Reception staff and housekeeping staff are polite and friendly at all times. Add the close proximity to Liverpool hospital and universities , the only reason I marked this down to a 4 star was the rooms could do with a microwave and when all rooms are booked the hot water runs out very fast. Will definitely be back.

Very basic. Nothing to write home about

Had a cheap burg and fed some chippies to the local cat 10/10 would eat again

Very dated but clean and friendly staff
