Great hotel
We stayed for three nights for a family vacation. Have to say the location is perfect since we had spent the first three days at circular quay, and have well explored that area. This location got us closer to the actual CBD as well as other area such as George Street shopping, Darling Harbour, Chinatown, Hyde Park, or QVB (which is right across the street). Thr day we were leaving was a raining day, we decided to go shopping at Myers which is in the sme building. Perfect location. Other thing is that the staffs are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast at tr executive lounge was great, too. Can't ask for more.

Consistently Good
Consistently good service from Swissotel and excellent location in the Sydney Central Business District. Short walk from the botanical gardens, bridge, and Darling Harbour. Staff was efficient and the facility was modern and clean. Outdoor pool area was nice but weather was too cold to enjoy. Only issue with this location is the use of elevators. In order to get to the lobby from the main entrance on Market Street, one must take an elevator. From these elevators one must cross the lobby and use a seperate bank of elevators to access the rooms. Just enough delay to be a nuisance, especially during morning or afternoon check-in/out times. Did not eat or drink at the hotel bars/restaurants.

We tried to get tickets online, but it charges a service fee, and negated the cost savings, so I think that's pretty dumb.

Excellent location and price
The hotel was very accesible, the decoration was modern, very comfortable. We travel a lot and this hotel was really good for the price we paid. The employees were very friendly and helpfull. We really enjoy the stay. Hotel for two days before a cruise and planned to stay in another hotel after the cruise. Since we liked it we stay again in it for three more days after the cruise. I recommend.

I hadn't stayed at a 5 star hotel
I hadn't stayed at a 5 star hotel for a while, and Swiss was definately one. Staff were very professional and courteous, and the hotel was exactly as I wished (and expected). I didnt think any meals were included in our package however staff advised that we had a complimentary lunch. This was not convenient and they exchanged it for breakfast which was a true 5 star breakfast and absolutely fantastic. My only minor criticism was that the scrambled eggs were dry. I didnt point this out to staff who I am sure would have rectified this. The restaurant was busy at the time and staff appeared a little flustered. In all, the stay was fantastic and Swissotel is a true 5 star establishment which I redcommend.
