Top Sydney Observatory Hotel Reviews

The York by Swiss-Belhotel International

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was like being at home! Everything you needed to be comfortable. Well located to between Darling Harbour (great places to eat!) and Circular Quay (tourist highlights!). Public transit very convenient from this location, but also easy to walk to many sites! Loved it! Not super modern but if your not into look, it’s clean, comfortable and well positioned for a great time in the city."

The Grace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is phenomenal. It was clean brightly, lit and perfectly appointed in the room with a lot of details. The location was convenient to walk to any of the things I wanted to see in the city shopping,parks ,the harbors & to top it off, it had a great choice of restaurants in the hotel. If I ever come back to Sydney I will stay here again without a doubt."

Paradox Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at the Paradox for one night to attend a wedding in the City and was pleasantly surprised with our choice of hotel. First off, the valet parking was fast and efficient as was the check-in procedure. Staff were courteous and pleasant. Our room was quite spacious, as was the bathroom, with all necessary amenities supplied. Comfortable bed and totally quiet surroundings. The buffet breakfast was most enjoyable and leisurely as check-out was noon. Highly recommend and would stay there again."

Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for Circular Quays and cruise ships. Also easy walking to shops, restaurants,buses and ferries. Easy check in and express check out. Very helpful staff. A couple of restaurants and bars within the hotel but we chose to eat elsewhere, though all locations seemed to be quite busy. Our room.was upgraded to a room with a view of the opera house which was perfect. Very comfy bed and a pillow menu. We also had a complimentary bottle of wine brought to the room."

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Clean and the best location. We had a very spacious room, very immaculate. The breakfast buffet was generous but as a berry lover would like to have seen some strawberries and blueberries. Staff was helpful but some were not too familiar with the city. All in all, had an enjoyable stay."
