Top Chinese Garden of Friendship Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, well presented room"

Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was actually bigger than advertised, really kids friendly. We booked a standard queen room and it came with a big sofa. We were able to stretch ourselves across the queen bed and sofa. Best location we stayed so far. It’s at one end of Haymarket and corner of world tower. If you come to city for convenient location and good food, it’s really the best option I found so far."

PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for sure"

ibis Styles Sydney Central

10/10 Excellent

"room was clean and location is good"

Shangri-La Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Second visit in two years, we are from London, we will come back soon to this Hotel"

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

8/10 Good

"Mum and daughter trip. The elevator was not working when we checked in so we opted to climb the stairs to our room. The room was amazing with glimpses of Darling Harbour. Fantastic location — we had a great stroll around the area and grabbed some dinner. Unfortunately we got stuck in the lift for 45 minutes coming back from dinner and on the way to check out the pool. Website that day had said they were having problems with the lifts so this was not totally unexpected. Staff were amazing and kept up informed about what was happening during the whole time. We have a great story to tell from the trip."

Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this property"

Hotel Coronation

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient for Universal Studios. Absolutely worth a little extra to stay so close and not need to worry about transport and getting to the studios early. Super convenient to the train station for when you actually arrive and depart."
