The hotel was conveniently located for cruise ship boarding. The pier is across the street. Plenty of surrounding places to eat. The rooftop view is awesome for seeing the Opra House and Harbor Bridge. Comfortable beds.

The hotel is in the perfect location for cruisers. Easy walk to restaurants, shops, Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay Station etc. The hotel itself is nice enough, the room we had was small and the furniture could do with an update, but overall good enough. Would stay again.

After having stayed 5 years ago there has been a massive decline in the hotel. It looks very tired in need of a refurbishment. Location is brilliant so just needs to be upgraded internally.

On making a booking for a car for one night then, wrong night booked which took several emails to change finally to be told I dont need a booking at the desk, then being charged for 2 nights with an added $75 room charge ? then I paid charged via my phone for a full breakfast before asking what I wanted which was a continental, no refund was send to desk as promised and desk staff brushed me off, Im not sure I'll stay there again, it made a special weekend far too stressful , maybe understaffed but their attitude showed as I observed many patrons getting impatient waiting for their cars and not spoken to professionally , desk staff were doing that as well . I’ve now had three emails with invoices trying to correct my $1100 charge instead of $837 $75 for one car stay as quoted

Cobwebs in the windows, mold all over the bathroom. (I have the pictures to prove it) The room and halfways snelled like cat urine. Horrible stay, rude staff! Honestly they should be embarrassed charging as much as they do for something thats worse than a cheap motel. I don't often write reviews, but avoid this hotel!

We very much enjoyed our one night stay at the Sydney Harbour Hotel. You just can't beat the location, it is the best. The hotel itself is older but clean and the staff were lovely. This was our second time staying and we will be back. The harbour view from the room and rooftop terrace are great, but be aware that cruise ships can block the view.

Perfect spot for a tourist. Right in The Rocks area. Walked the 2 blocks to our cruise ship. Lots of restaurants and shopping, great vendors outside on Sunday. Laundry self serve at the hotel was terrific. Breakfast was hearty. Rooms were clean and fine. All around a great place for a few days before our cruise.

The Sydney Harbour Hotel couldn’t be in a better location! It’s on a prime street in the Rocks area, close to everything. It’s a 3 block walk to Circular Quay, which is where all the transportation is. It’s bout a block from the Bridge, and maybe .7 miles to the Opera House. Lots of people going on cruises stay there because it’s about 2 blocks from the cruise port. We had a view of the Opera House and Bridge. The hotel has a small pool and hot tub on the roof with great views of the city. Great stay!
