Very slow service at check in and check out. Super expensive parking and had to wait for a long time to drop off and pick up car. Cramped bathroom, facilities are dated and worn.

6/10 Good

Good location otherwise disappointing
On balance, I was disappointed. The photos flatter the rooms, there’s no complimentary water in the rooms (meaning I had to go out and find somewhere at 11pm because I arrived late) but worse of all, they don’t have porters so I had to drag three cases and a backpack from the taxi to the room. I did use the trolley but it’s not what you expect for how much this hotel costs. Same story when I left, nobody to help. I stored my stuff for a few hours and had to laugh when the reception woman left my cases by reception - didn’t even help me take them to the door. All in all, not very hospitable or helpful! Best thing about the hotel: the view from the roof (photos below).

Historic Hotel with Space and a Great Location
Have stayed at this hotel as a Holiday Inn and now the Sydney Harbour Hotel. It has always been a great location for our wonderings. It is a short level surface walk minutes away from excellent restaurants, historic locations, The Rocks Museum, week end street fair, Circular Quay with trains and ferries to other locations such as the Blue Mountains, Manly, Hop On/Off bus, shops both unique and touristy. The hotel is designated as historic. For a country's capital city, the hotel is very spacious with a TV/refrig cabinet, a desk, and spacious closet and chairs for sitting. The only "negative" is a bit of precision knob turning to get the separate handles adjusted when it is just right coming out of the single faucet. We will be staying here on our next trip, the sixth one, when we return to Sydney.

Location good for cruise terminal
The only good thing about this hotel was the proximity to the overseas cruise terminal for our holiday. It was old and run-down, cockies everywhere and the bathrooms were needing some work. Was very disappointed with what we got for the price we paid.
