The Grace Hotel
Staying at The Grace Hotel in Sydney was an absolute delight! Right in the heart of the city, everything is just a short walk away—shopping, dining, and attractions are all within easy reach. The room was spotless, bright, and incredibly comfortable, with a nice touch of modern elegance. What truly made our Christmas visit special was the little surprise at the door: a sweet Christmas chocolate waiting for us in the morning—such a thoughtful and festive welcome! Breakfast was delicious and varied, offering both international and local favorites. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. This stay exceeded expectations, and I’ll definitely be recommending this hotel to friends and family on future trips to Sydney.
Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour
The Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour truly exceeded my expectations. The facilities are top-notch, and the service was professional and welcoming throughout our stay. I’d recommend booking breakfast in advance—especially during peak times—as it tends to fill up quickly. While the pool is on the smaller side, it’s perfectly suitable for a quick swim after a day exploring the city. Located right in the heart of Sydney, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around by train or on foot. Everything from the room comfort to the staff’s attentiveness made this stay unforgettable. A fantastic choice for travelers who value location, quality, and value—all in one.
PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney
This was my second stay at this hotel, and I’m happy to say it lived up to the high standard of my first visit. The rooms are spotless, staff are friendly and welcoming, and there’s a nice balance of comfort without feeling too foreign or impersonal. Getting here from the airport is super easy—just a three-stop train ride from the airport station, then a quick five-minute walk from Town Hall station. It’s also just a five-minute stroll to Darling Harbour, and even closer to nearby supermarkets. The front desk goes the extra mile by arranging taxis for your departure to the airport, which makes everything stress-free. With its unbeatable location, excellent service, and convenience, this hotel is definitely my go-to choice for future trips to Sydney.
Novotel Sydney Darling Square
This stay at Novotel Sydney Darling Square was absolutely perfect! The location is unbeatable—just a quick 2-minute walk to ICC Exhibition Centre, which made attending events super convenient. I loved how central everything is: walking just 4 minutes gets you to Chinatown, and George Street is within easy reach for shopping and dining. Plus, Westfield is also a short stroll away—no need to worry about transport. The room was spacious and clean, with a well-maintained bathroom where the shower delivered strong water pressure and hot water came on fast. Breakfast has improved since my last visit—there were new options like roasted tomatoes, stir-fried broccoli, and carrots, which added a fresh, healthy touch. The only small downside? The hairdryer is quite old; the handle feels worn and could use an upgrade. But honestly, that’s a tiny detail in what’s otherwise a top-tier experience. If I’m back for another event, this will be my first choice again.
APX World Square
Staying at APX World Square was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the city center and right next to a supermarket, making everything super convenient. The apartment itself is spacious and bright, with a large balcony perfect for enjoying breakfast with a view. The kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size oven, microwave, dishwasher, and even a complete set of cookware, cutlery, and dishes—more than I have at home! They also provide laundry detergent, plus a washing machine and dryer, which made packing light a breeze. There’s a cozy sofa and a TV, so relaxing after a long day was easy. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed. This place offers incredible value and comfort—definitely my top choice for future visits to Sydney.
Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour
Staying at Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour was a fantastic experience. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed that made for a great night's sleep. Its location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Town Hall, and even closer to the CBD, World Square, and Darling Harbour itself. Public transport access is super convenient, making it easy to explore the city. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, adding to the overall pleasant vibe. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed, from the modern décor to the quiet ambiance. It’s an excellent choice for both business and leisure travelers who value comfort and convenience. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and plan to return.
Quest North Sydney
I booked a 7-night stay at Quest North Sydney for the Sydney Marathon, and it turned out to be a perfect choice. The hotel is located just a short walk from the race start line, making everything super convenient. It’s also only a 5-6 minute stroll to Victoria Cross Metro Station, which makes getting around the city effortless. I stayed in a studio with a small kitchenette—compact but fully equipped. I was able to cook everything from simple Western meals to quick Chinese stir-fries and snacks. Housekeeping came by every 1-2 days, keeping the room clean and tidy. The soundproofing is decent, so no noise from neighbouring rooms during the night. The only downside? The bathroom is quite small, and the shower has only a fixed showerhead without a handheld attachment, which made rinsing a bit awkward. A handheld sprayer or even a toaster oven instead of a microwave would’ve been a nice upgrade. Overall, though, this place offers great value, especially for longer stays or event-goers. Highly recommend.
Rydges World Square, an EVT hotel
This was hands down the highest-rated hotel among all our stays during our trip to Australia, and honestly, it's hard to beat. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Chinatown, Hyde Park, and St. Mary’s Cathedral. Right downstairs is a bustling shopping center with restaurants, cafes, and bars, making dining and exploring super convenient. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile. The on-site restaurant has a clean, inviting atmosphere, and the food quality was solid. Even though the hotel isn’t brand new, the overall experience was top-notch. My kids kept saying it was their favorite stay, which says it all. Great value, great service, and a perfect base for discovering Sydney.
The Sebel Sydney Chatswood
Staying at The Sebel Sydney Chatswood was a fantastic experience overall. The location is excellent—just steps away from a variety of dining options and a large shopping mall, making it super convenient for both meals and retail therapy. The apartment itself is spacious, well-maintained, and offers a comfortable stay with modern amenities. Public transportation is nearby, so getting around Sydney is hassle-free. One small note: the sofa bed could use an upgrade—the mattress has started to sag slightly, which affected sleep quality a bit. That said, this is a minor issue in an otherwise outstanding property. With its great location, clean rooms, and attentive service, I’d definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Chatswood. A solid choice for comfort and convenience!
Citadines Walker North Sydney
Staying at Citadines Walker North Sydney was an absolute highlight of my trip to Sydney. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the heart of North Sydney, with easy access to public transit and surrounded by great cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets. The room itself was spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean—definitely one of the newest properties I’ve stayed in. The lobby on the 5th floor offers a sleek, welcoming atmosphere, and everything feels well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. What really stood out was the check-out time until 11 AM—far more generous than most hotels in Sydney, giving me the freedom to relax without rushing. Being housed in one of Sydney’s tallest buildings also means incredible city views and a real sense of being in the pulse of the city. For both business travelers and tourists, this place offers excellent value, comfort, and convenience. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier stay in Sydney.
Hotel Morris Sydney - Handwritten Collection
The room is a bit compact, but it’s more than sufficient for a comfortable stay. The layout is smartly designed—every inch feels functional and well thought out. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a short walk to the Close supermarket and shopping district, making daily errands super convenient. Across the street is a popular Thai restaurant that’s definitely worth trying—the food is delicious, though I’d recommend avoiding peak hours to skip the line. What really stood out was the thoughtful incentive program: if you opt out of daily housekeeping, you earn a $10 credit each day redeemable at the on-site dining area. It’s a clever, eco-friendly touch that adds real value to the experience without feeling gimmicky.
