Top Sydney Observatory Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Sydney by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing service and fantastic breakfast"

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

8/10 Good

"Overall the hotel was really clean and staff was friendly. It was nice having USB plugs in the outlets for charging. The food we ordered was good and the restaurant downstairs was nice both for breakfast and dinner. Our room had some issues like the shower door not closing all the way so water puddled on the floor every time we took a shower, and we had to wait a couple minutes to get cold water from the sink faucet. ( That seemed strange) The pillows seemed puffy, but squished down to nothing almost instantly."

Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 5 nights and wanted something centrally located to all sites we wanted to visit, this being our 1st time in Sydney from Canada. Almost EVERYTHING on our list was within walking distance. The Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Botanical gardens including Mrs Macquaries Point and Chair. The Sydney Eye, Circular Quay for ferries to and from destinations, etc. All was easily accessible. We would have stayed longer but needed to get closer to the ICC for a conference starting tomorrow. There are plenty of fantastic restaurant choices around including food courts (don’t remember the name) between the Marriott and Circular Quay. You might think the cost of the hotel is more than you want to spend but if you factor the cost of transportation from a remote location to theses sites over the course of 4 or 5 days, you’ll likely spend more money than not, and don’t forget the time you spend to and from. The hotel is higher end than budget hotels, but extremely modern and clean and the staff is extremely helpful and courteous. We were always cheerfully helped by the concierge whenever we were contemplating our next visit and their directions and advice were always spot on! I’m sure there are other locations in the area and I assume some may be slightly cheaper but we are extremely happy we stayed here. We totally recommend it!! If I had to say something less favourable, I’d say they need faster wifi."

Rendezvous Hotel Sydney The Rocks

8/10 Good

"We stayed 4 nights and booked at the last minute. Checkin was a breeze. All the staff was so nice and friendly. The room was dated and carpet was worn, but the space was huge. We had a king bed and pull out couch for 2 of us and it was still spacious. The outdoor patio was very large and we had a view of the bridge. Neighborhood was quiet . The kitchenette was stocked with utensils and pans. We used only the water kettle for tea - nobody wants to cook when you’re on holiday. The hotel was a short 5 minute walk from the metro. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."
