Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, friendly staff, room was comfortable and clean"

The Grace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hot"

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely helpful and accommodating staff. After 20+ hrs of traveling, we arrived well before check-in. Nevertheless they helped us get into our room early and I can’t tell you how thankful I am for that. The room itself was compact but the bed was large and luxurious. Paired with a soaking tub, it was exactly what we needed. The location next to Circular Quay is exceptional, If you come on a weekend, don’t miss the pop-up market at the Rocks. The food and craft goods were top notch. Stop by Grana nearby for fresh pasta."
