Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pretty great overall. The rooms were very comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, there were some issues with the room service and housekeeping, as it took multiple phone calls for servicing and some items were not replaced promptly.
The hotel has some great features like awesome and quiet rooms, incredibly friendly service, but the location may not be ideal for everyone due to access challenges. The dining options are plentiful but might not offer the best value for money.
The hotel rooms were very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious with great lighting for taking pictures. However, the standard of the rooms was not very high. The staff was incredibly polite and friendly, providing excellent support and going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The location offers one of the best views in Sydney and is perfect for sightseeing, although the difficulty of gaining a view over the harbor can be a drawback. The dining experience, while feeling decadent, could be improved to match other Shangri-la options and service was somewhat lacking in the restaurant. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were in need of revamp but spacious with a beautiful view. The service was sincere and friendly, though not always prompt. The location was perfect for exploring the area, but the dining experience was somewhat pricey. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room had an incredible view of the harbour and Opera House, and the bed was super comfortable with a variety of pillows to choose from. I enjoyed the deep bath, well-stocked fridge, and makeup mirror. Room service was amazing, especially with such a spectacular view right from the room.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, especially after exploring the nearby beautiful Botanic gardens. The rooms were decent, although the smoky smell was off-putting. The dining experience was excellent, and the best coffee I've ever had. However, there were several service issues, from confusion at reception to a rude wait staff. The facilities were impressive with separate saunas, a pool, and a jacuzzi.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and elegant with excellent views of the harbor, but unfortunately, my room was facing the motorway, leading to constant traffic noise throughout the night. On the bright side, the service was incredibly welcoming and friendly, with helpful staff going above and beyond. The location, while offering fantastic views, was a bit chaotic at times with children running around. Despite some ups and downs, the dining experience was excellent, offering a variety of delicious options. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay quite comfortable.
The hotel offers beautifully appointed rooms with everything we needed and terrific views of the Opera House. The rooms were lovely and comfortable but could benefit from an update considering the price paid. The service was exceptional, with professional and efficient staff in every department. The location, although wonderful with stunning views, may pose a slight challenge due to the hilly terrain walk to Circular Quay. The dining experience was mixed, with a move to Altitude hotel providing a lovely meal and view but being way too expensive for the quality received.
The hotel rooms are fantastic with amazing extras like canapés and free drinks every evening, but the bed setup could be improved. The maintenance noise from a nearby room was bothersome, impacting our stay. Despite this, the service was friendly and accommodating, though some areas could benefit from additional training. The location is excellent for exploring key attractions on foot, although some seating areas are overhyped. The dining experience was pleasant with generous and tasty options. The facilities are decent, providing a comfortable stay overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although spacious and well-equipped, were quite stuffy without the option to open a window or access a balcony. On the bright side, they offered stunning views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
Despite a delayed check-in and lacking VIP service, the room was spacious, clean, and featured a comfortable bed with an opera house view. The service, though responsive, was not very attentive. The location offers great views and easy access to Sydney sights. The dining experience was marred by greasy food and slow service, especially during breakfast.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though a bit outdated, were clean, and I appreciated the option for early check-in and the comfortable bed. The bathroom was lovely, especially with the bath overlooking Darling Harbour. However, some areas could use a refresh to enhance the overall experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, with a spectacular view of the harbour, were not made up on the second day until late afternoon, which was disappointing as it was my partner's birthday. The rooms lacked a desk lamp, but overall were comfortable. The service staff were extremely polite and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. However, the bar staff seemed a bit untrained. The location was good with easy access to many attractions, although the hotel entrance was a bit inconvenient. The dining experience was chaotic and not up to the standard I expected. The facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of breathtaking views of the city and the Opera House from the Grand Premier Sydney Harbour View room, although the breakfast arrangement could be improved. The service was friendly but lacked attention to detail at times. The location offered both a lovely nightlife experience and easy access to the city attractions, with some areas in need of renovation. The dining experience was described as exceptional, yet with minor issues like overcooked eggs. Overall, a paradise-like experience marred slightly by the need for certain improvements.
The hotel boasts a very good room with a magnificent bathroom featuring the highest quality fittings and accessories. The rooms are nice but have an older look. The service was excellent and very professional, outshining some of the facilities. The location is super convenient, allowing easy access to Sydney harborside attractions. The dining options, although with a good selection, fall short of the usual standard expected. Overall, a comfortable stay with some areas that could use improvement.
