Overall the Swissotel was a great place to stay for visiting Sydney; within walking distance of everything; lovely clean rooms and friendly staff; great breakfast in the restaurant; our only criticism would be that the bed was a little on the hard side.

I found that the staff and service

I found that the staff and service were excellent and upon checking out I commented that I really liked the room I had as it was big & spacious. The reception informed me that they will make a note and I can request that room or one similar on my next visit. The room service was fast and the food was very enjoyable.
