See what other travelers say about Duck River Walk
I stayed at Pullman Sydney Olympic Park and had a truly excellent experience. The staff went above and beyond—after checking out, they actually found my lost thermos that I left behind in the room. That kind of attention to detail is rare and really made my stay stand out. The hotel is located a bit outside the city center, about a 20-minute taxi ride from downtown, but it’s well-connected and not too far for a comfortable commute. It’s situated right across from the Olympic Park Stadium, so it’s quiet and peaceful, perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle. While it’s not in a commercial district, there are still plenty of nearby options for dining and essentials. Overall, this is a great choice for travelers who value service, comfort, and convenience without sacrificing tranquility. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit Sydney.
