The Sydney Harbour Hotel couldn’t be in a better location! It’s on a prime street in the Rocks area, close to everything. It’s a 3 block walk to Circular Quay, which is where all the transportation is. It’s bout a block from the Bridge, and maybe .7 miles to the Opera House. Lots of people going on cruises stay there because it’s about 2 blocks from the cruise port. We had a view of the Opera House and Bridge. The hotel has a small pool and hot tub on the roof with great views of the city. Great stay!

Be aware that instead of breakfast being included, we only received a $25 in-hotel credit which did come close to covering the $35 charged in the hotel restaurant per person.

Great location, particularly for those taking a cruise from Sydney. However, the hotel is very tired and in need of a serious update. Having said that, it had one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever had in a hotel. Some mildew in the bathroom. I hope the owners find a way to update this hotel. I would love to visit it again.

The hotel is very conveniently located in the Sydney harbor close to many good restaurants, transportation, shopping, cruise terminal, and tourist attractions. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and professional. The cost of the stay is a great value considering the location and service. We would certainly stay here again when we visit this great city.

The area around the hotel was historic and interesting. You could walk to the Opera house, botanical gardens, the quay for boat tours. It is a really good location. The courtyard to the hotel is really attractive. I loved the circular look. Our room was adequately supplied but very dated with old scuffed furniture and an damm chair that would not fit under the desk so it just kept getting in the way. As I am typing this I realize I should have checked to see if I could have manually lowered it..oh well. The breakfast was really good, staff helpful and pleasant. Did not swim in the pool, but it has a fantastic view. Great for photos. Instead of my credit card, I accidentally used my debit card for the security deposit, so the deposit was immediately withdrawn from my bank account as a debit purchase. I wanted a refund right away so it could be done correctly but I was unable to convince the staff that it was wrong. It was repeated to me over and over again that the funds were on hold and would be released back to me. Well they were not on hold it was a purchase that was withdrawn from my bank account. It has only been 2 days since I checked out but I sure hope I get a refund for that security deposit. The cards look so similar…..

Amazing location for my 6 night blitz in Sydney. I was able to walk everywhere I wanted to tour. I only needed transit to get to the airport and that was a breeze even with rolling luggage. The staff were very helpful to me and I appreciated their professionalism. Thank you

Hotel was very basic and requiring an update and renovation. Staff not overly friendly or accommodating. Lift does not access all floors so you have to drag your bag either up or down stairs. Would not wish to stay here again.
