Veriu Green Square

Veriu Green Square is a boutique hotel at 18 O’Riordan Street, Alexandria, offering an inner-city base close to Sydney Airport and Green Square station, which is about 100 metres away. Its location suits travellers who want to explore Alexandria’s café scene, galleries and neighbourhood spaces, while still having straightforward access to the Sydney CBD. The hotel describes itself as a place for both short stays and longer visits, with reduced rates available for stays of 14 days or more.

The building is a contemporary property shaped by its industrial surroundings and the site’s former use as a luxury European car trader in the 1970s. Polished chrome, high-gloss finishes and modern details reference that history without turning the hotel into a themed attraction. Shared spaces include a business lounge with desks, charging points and outlets, as well as a gym with cardio and weights-based equipment. There is also a guest laundry, an on-site pantry, meeting and event space, complimentary Lekker bikes, free unlimited Wi-Fi and 24-hour reception.

Accommodation ranges from Comfy Queen rooms to larger suites for families and groups. The 25-square-metre Comfy Queen is designed for up to two guests, with a queen bed, sitting area, air conditioning, fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, Chromecast-enabled television and Wi-Fi. Veriu Suites offer a kitchenette, with options including a full-sized fridge, dishwasher, microwave, stovetop and convection oven depending on the room. For families or friends, the 28-square-metre Quad Suite sleeps up to four and includes a king bed, double bunk, kitchenette and work desk. Adjoining suites provide two bedrooms, while the Tribe Suite Adjoining is designed for up to six guests and includes two kitchens and two bathrooms.

The range makes Veriu Green Square practical for several types of stay. Solo travellers and couples can choose a compact room or studio-style suite, business guests have access to the lounge and meeting facilities, and families can request cots or book a Quad Suite. The accessible Comfy Queen + Single has additional space for wheelchairs and walkers, along with an accessible bathroom. Assistance animals are permitted, and the hotel is non-smoking. Limited on-site parking is available for $55 per night, with bookings required, making it worth arranging ahead if you are driving.
