Top Sydney Observatory Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Close to the city and opera house, all within walking distance. The Rocks is next door. Nice, light and spacious room."

Shangri-La Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel and staff. Fantastic location, fabulous views."

Hyatt Regency Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. We had an incredible view of darling harbour and even got to watch the firework display from our room. We also had one of the best nights sleep due to the bed being extremely comfortable."

Paradox Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the idea of choosing our pillows. Toiletries were very nice. High tea was lovely, and our interaction with the chef was unexpected, and appreciated. Room was quiet, as we had requested in advance, as theres a construction site right outside for the new metro station. We thought the staff were very professional and attentive. Room service food was of a good standard. We would definitely stay again."

Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay

10/10 Excellent

"They accommodated an early check in. Room had a great view. Wish we could of spent more time there."

Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, comfy bed, pool great, spa wasn’t working on one day but all good the next day. Staff polite, location great. Overall good experience, would stay there again."

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

8/10 Good

"Mum and daughter trip. The elevator was not working when we checked in so we opted to climb the stairs to our room. The room was amazing with glimpses of Darling Harbour. Fantastic location — we had a great stroll around the area and grabbed some dinner. Unfortunately we got stuck in the lift for 45 minutes coming back from dinner and on the way to check out the pool. Website that day had said they were having problems with the lifts so this was not totally unexpected. Staff were amazing and kept up informed about what was happening during the whole time. We have a great story to tell from the trip."

Little National Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Modern, clean, quiet and an excellent location."

The York by Swiss-Belhotel International

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent for walking to sightseeing spots along the water front, shopping along George St and accessing public transport. My family loved the swimming pool and spa facilities. Front desk was very helpful. The room was spacious and immaculate. Beautiful city views out of the balcony. I really appreciated the full kitchen and also washing machine + dryer. On the downside, however, the carpet was a bit tired. We found debris floated down from the A/C unit in the living room, which was very noticeable on the white sheets of the sofa bed below. The filters probably needed changing. The toilet cistern broke down on Saturday night, and had to be manually sprung back during the rest of the weekend (while maintenance wasn't available)."
