quick trip to sydney

i was in sydney for only a few days, never been before, so i wanted somewhere close to the main attractions of the city. the hotel itself is in a business district, but it's all within alking distance to the main sights, like the opera house and darling harbor. the room was a little small but perfect for a single traveller, the bathroom was a little awkwardly placed but not a big issue. the room was very clean. i didn't go to the pool or any of the bars or restaurants. the staff was very helpful when i needed to get train timetables. there is free internet in the lobby for 30 min and the price in your room is very high, but this seems very typical for australia.

Very Nice Stay

Stayed one night after a cruise. Room was clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Very convenient to the Rocks and business district. Free shuttle ran just around the corner from the hotel and subway to airport was just across the street. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it and stay here again.

Two Day Visit to Sidney

Good location and opportunities around this hotel for good restaurants & food courts. Circular Quay nearby and many good shops on the way to the Quay However, the rooms were very small and needed some TLC. Cost vs Value -- below par.

Great Location

It's hard to beat this location. The Wynyard train station and market is across the street. George street is 1 block East. Ciccular Quay and the Rocks are only 4 to 5 blocks North..

Hotel in Auckland Airport

It so close to the International Termainal that after I missed a flight to Sydney, I was able to catch the next one. The Breakfast was expensive and no option for coffe & toast, or light breakfast. Only Buffet. When you're not that hungry, you don't want to spend $35 for breakfast.

Friendly,helpful staff right from entering the front door, to the booking desk and housekeeping. Nothing was too much effort. Price wise I was very pleased overall with our stay. The central position to the train station, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and the city centre would be hard to beat. Well done Menzies staff.

Excellent service. I felt really

Excellent service. I felt really welcome from the start. Both the staff at the reception and the front door were extremely friendly and helpful. Everything worked really well. The location just next to Wynyard station is great. The front bar with a free 30 min internet connection was a bonus, as I had already checked out but had to check out my emals. This worked well.
