Location is amazing! So close to Sydney harbour, especially Circular Quay. Hotel rooms are quite dated and show signs of wear and tear especially the carpet in our room (room 820) The air conditioning was really poor in my room also. I turned it down to 12c yet the room was very very hot. The bed was very comfortable and the room itself was spacious. The rooftop pool area was good, with some great views, but there was no clean towels to use at 6:30am, and instead a massive pile of dirty ones which hadn’t been cleared.

Easy check in, friendly staff, they do take a $50 "bond" which you get back that i wasnt aware off. For the price i feel the place was quite old & dated. Air con not great either. Great location. Probably wouldnt stay again.

We loved our room at the Sydney Harbour hotel. We were just a short walk from everywhere we wanted to go during our 3 night stay. The hotel is less than a 15 minute walk to the Opera House, Sydney Bridge Climb, and a tour meeting spot to see the Blue Mountains. The hotel itself is older, as are all the buildings in this iconic area, but the hotel is impeccably maintained.

Old property. Very basic for the cost. Staff very helpful. Reminded me of the old motels out west of the coast but with no biscuits or little comforts in the room. Excellent position for The Rocks and convenient for cruisers. Will use again though.

Amenities was fab, laundry provided free powder, our room was next to laundry but they closed it at 9 to avoid noise. Hotel was soundproof, clean, staff were lovely. Conveniently located right by circular quay. Allowed us early check in as soon as they could. Hotel pool and jacuzi was nice and offered fab views for the bridge and opera house. Only downside to my score was it was a bit dated. Could do with some modernisation but it didnt affect our stay.
View from rooftop pool. Offering free towels too 😊
