Top The Rocks Hotel Reviews

Rydges World Square

8/10 Good

"The room was above satisfactory. B+. The windows unfortunately are not completely sealed from the outside noise despite the double glazing. It was only as strong as the seal. Three out of four nights there was construction work overnight (to avoid traffic disruption). Other than that the property was very good"

The Sebel Quay West Suites Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"The view from our 2BR, 2BA, Harbour View apartment on the 20th floor was truly iconic with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge framed by the huge picture windows in the living room. The furnishings were luxurious, beds comfortable, and the included breakfast at the Quartier Restaurant was excellent. First class service. The gym was small but had two good treadmills and a great view. The location is perfect for tourists, a short walk to the Circular Quay, the Opera House and the Bridge as well as many restaurants and shops and all forms of transport. A couple of minor things to improve: The kitchen was a bit cramped and not well supplied for anyone who wanted to actually cook. And it would have been nice to have another couch in the living room, instead of the big armchair, so we could both stretch out after a long day. We moved the lounge chair from the main bedroom to the living room to accomplish this. The second bathroom was tiny and the door squeaked."

PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"The ParkRoyal Darling Harbour was a great place to land after 20+ hours of travel from the east coast of USA. The room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. We had lounge access which was the highlight. Between the attentive staff and delicious breakfast, it was a perfect place to watch the day break and get ready for sightseeing. We had dinner at the restaurant one night. The food was a little more refined than we had hoped for but was delicious and well executed. I would highly recommend this property for young families traveling internationally."
