Top Balmain Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Sydney

8/10 Good

"absoluty amazing and best service "

Song Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"This is not a huge mega-hotel, but it is a decent size. Located just off Hyde Park South, virtually across the street from the ANZAC Memorial and Museum Station, this hotel is clean, efficient, with helpful staff. There is a morning breakfast buffet which offers great coffee, eggs, sausage, bacon, and the usual cereals and juices. The hotel also has a street-side coffee shop with excellent coffee. There is a lot to like about this hotel, but the best is its location. It is within walking distance — say, less than a quarter of a mile — from the Art Museum of New South Wales, from Oxford Street, from the gay-borhood around Taylor Square/Surry Hills, from Gadigal Subway station, from Central Train Station, from Chinatown, from Thai Town. One night, I noticed very slight street noise, but if an ambulance comes up Wentworth, you can hardly expect it to be silent. Especially on the third floor. It wasn’t much both to me, but if you want a quieter room, the upper floors might be preferable."

ibis Sydney Darling Harbour

4/10 Poor

"The room was very dated, hand towels were tiny / useless. The toilet seat was so flimsy I thought it might break at anytime. It was supposed to be a “superior” room though I’d hate to stay in what it was superior than. The best thing about the hotel was its location and as we only slept in the room 2 nights it was too bad. Didn’t have breakfast or use the bar so can’t comment."
