Its a very nice Hotel but its a little bit old. A g.ood refurbishment would be nice

Excellent location, safe place, next to the public transport, very friendly staff, best breakfast ever!

Outstanding location, service. Ridiculously expensive parking for guests. No access to rooftop for normal guests.

I had a comfortable room, solid gym, and it was great to be walking distance to downtown. I'd skip the breakfast buffet, as it was expensive and service was slow. They insisted on seating every party individually, which meant there was a line every morning during rush hour.

Loud Construction next door, bad Manager and customer service.

excellent view of the city and the location makes it easy to get around

Good location close to the Harbor and good quality rooms and service. Don’t get swayed by the top roof view and advertising though because it’s only for Club members or folks who paid more for a club level room.

It is my first time staying at the Intercontinental Hotel and I will continue to stay there. The service was superior

Every member of the staff was ready to see to all needs. The location can almost not be better. Key card elevator operation a bit of a mess, and if you’re a party in several rooms, make sure you’re on the same floor if you want to see each other—your key card will only take you from the lobby to your own floor.

We splurged and got the room with the opera house view. It was spectacular. We could see the opera house and the bridge. Easy walk to Circular Quay area and a decent amount of restaurants nearby. When I booked I added breakfast at time of booking. If you want breakfast at the hotel I would recommend this otherwise it's more expensive to buy on site. Concierge was very helpful. Botanic gardens very near if you like to walk or run. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay... location was excellent... the staff was very friendly... nice restaurants arount the hotel... also the public transport (bus, train, ferry,) is next to the hotel... ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Great place. Spent a week there. View of the opera house and bridge from our room was awesome. Walking distance to all ferries, opera house, and the rocks

The hotel is beautiful and well located. Had a great dinner in the hotel restaurant although prices were a bit over the top. $58 for two double vodkas over ice! Felt that the charge for wifi was a bit off but perhaps that is because you would never get away with it in America. Still, pay $200 for a room and have to pay another $25 for something as basic as wifi?

Best hotel in Sydney, close to the Opera House and Sydney Harbor with lots of awesome please to eat and sightsee.

Everyone was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable at the Intercontinental. Went during New Year's week and although they were incredibly busy they took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable and had a good time. Great location near the Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, Opera House, Botanical Gardens, etc.

Amazing view of sydney harbor, centrally located - short walk to gardens, rock, downtown and trains. Hotel restaurant satisfying.

great stay....friendly courteous staff...great breakfast and rooms had great views, even thought it was not a harbor view

We got a good deal and a free breakfast buffet which was truly memorably awesome . And we have compared many fine buffets in the past and this was the best one perhaps ever. The room was very clean and luxurious (got early check-in too) by helpful staff at reception. Wonderful central location . Could see the harbor from our room even though it was a city view . Air conditioning worked very well (unlike the Sofitel hotel where they had a pre-set sneaky setting to block cold temps) . Nice indoor pool upstairs with good views. This would be an amazing hotel to watch the fireworks next time .
