10/10 Excellent
"Amazing hotel with stunning views from the very clean and spacious room. Best part was the friendly helpful staff. Our luggage was lost for three days by the airline and the hotel staff did everything they good to help us. They even let us have the airline deliver it there after we left and held it until we could retrieve it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

8/10 Good
"A great location, very handy to Darling Harbour and Town Hall station and all near by. Ideal for catching trains, buses or metro to get you around the city or just to Circular Quay. Having cooking facilities and fridge is a bonus to allow self catering to save costs, and Woolies just up the road. Good sized apartment with separate bedroom and bathroom. Some aspects of the room a little tired but more than good enough, and great pricing for central Sydney. Very attentive and friendly staff at check in and out."

Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay

10/10 Excellent
"Such a great hotel for seeing the sights in Sydney. Couldn’t be more convenient. It is just steps away from the train from the airport which runs every 10 minutes. And the same distance to the wharfs for the views, dining, shopping and to see the harbour bridge and the opera house. Just perfect. Beautiful room with a view of the opera house. Staff was super nice and helpful. Definitely will stay here again when in Sydney."
