Hotels near The Rocks, Sydney

"After a 12hr flight the last thing you want to do is self check in! I can not beleive a 5 star hotel with a name like Shangrila is now using self check in terminals so impersonal. The concierge guys were excellent and they only real people I got to engage with. Room is dated but Harbour views are fantastic. We did not have breakfast due to early morning flight the next day. Note: Steep 7 minute walk down to the harbour not good for elderly people The indoor pool was poor with a heavy chlorine smell not what I was expecting so I did not swim in it. I am a member but probably would not stay here again. By Contrast the Shangrila in Chendu China was very nice. Aslo have stayed a number of times in Surabaya both are dated but beautiful service & facilities"

I ate at the buffet for two mornings, and i love that you can leave your baggage there when you chrck out if you need to run errands. Would dwfinately book again. Everything was clean and immaculate."

"Perfect location,very close for most Sydney attraction. Beautifull design, polite service, fantastic breakfast!!! I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel and had a wonderful experience."

"Conveniently located in the heart of the CBD, near Circular Quay, it was easy to access the key attractions like the Sydney Opera House. The rooftop bar, Aster, also provided fantastic views of the Harbour Bridge. The main draw of this hotel for us was its own indoor carpark as we were renting a car. Valet parking is $89 AUD a night (as of Aug 2025) and there is no option to self-park, but you can enter and exit the carpark as many times as you want. Pricey but generally consistent with the other carpark options in this area. Our room size was pretty big for 2 persons and the room was generally well maintained. We encountered some issues with inconsistent housekeeping e.g. used cups not being replaced, towels not being replaced, but they were generally minor and often quickly rectified after a call to reception. Would recommend if you would like to stay in this part of Sydney."

"Location is great, close to the museum, central train, Chinatown and CBD. There is 2 restaurants and a cafe onsite, the coffee was great but we didn't dine at the restaurant. The room was a bit small for a family of 4 but was able to get a good deal so was worth the price we paid"

"The view was amazing. I overslept and missed breakfast, but I'm sure it was wonderful."

"It’s a really nice hotel, free upgraded from front desk. Nice buffet as well, very valuable prices for two nights !"
