"Lovely views and convenient location "

"My stay had many positives: the room was comfortable, the hotel was clean and elegant, staff were generally warm and friendly, the location was excellent, and the Diptyque toiletries were a lovely touch. However, several aspects fell below the standard expected of a 5-star hotel. Most concerning was a food safety issue. I advised staff of a prawn/crustacea allergy when ordering chicken satay and asked for no prawn chips. The dish arrived with plain chips, but the “fragrant rice” was mixed with prawns hidden beneath a fried egg. After one bite I felt an immediate mild reaction. If my allergy were more severe, the consequences could have been serious. It was alarming that the allergen was not listed, staff were unaware, and the dish was still served after I disclosed the allergy. Food quality overall was disappointing. The breakfast buffet felt well below the price point, and bar service was inconsistent, including a cocktail missing a key ingredient and careless wine service. I was also disappointed the spa was fully closed on ANZAC Day Saturday, as spa access was a major reason I booked and part of my birthday plans. There were also room maintenance issues: a wardrobe light that would not switch off, doors that would not fully close causing unwanted light overnight, and a leaking cold tap that pooled water on the vanity and soaked personal items. Overall, a pleasant property with strengths, but several avoidable lapses that felt below luxury hotel expectations."

"Arriving early at the Shangri-La Sydney hotel, the staff warmly greeted us at the front lobby and showed us where to store our luggage. The Filipino guest services attendant who stored our multiple luggage was helpful and kind. After we had our breakfast, we went back to the hotel and this hardworking and friendly bellhop/porter was looking for us in the lobby while pushing a trolley with our luggage, backpacks, etc., and ushered us to our clean and spacious room with the amazing view of the city! Btw, the front desk staff who checked us in greeted us with a smile and paid attention to our concerns, being exhausted from our long international flight. She was the best! Breakfast buffet had a wide variety of international food to choose from; delicious and worth the price. Our stay was absolutely perfect! On our last day prior to embarking on our cruise, the concierge staff made sure our taxi to the port was there on time. She walked with us towards the taxi, like she was family sending us off safely to our next adventure. Thank you, Shangri-La, we had a wonderful time!"

"The staff at the QT was very professional and friendly. The hotel had neat Miami feel with mice dinning options. I enjoyed the pizza and calamari at the Stingray and I also enjoyed the sushi at the Izakaya that they had. The breakfast buffet was also done well. The only thing is that property was going through some renovations and the rooms need to be updated a tiny bit. "

"The buffet breakfast was awesome. Scrambled eggs were not rubbery. They were just right. But the variety was amazing. Pillows were super fluffy too. Trans and ferry’s right there "
