★★★ 5.6 (102 reviews)

"Don't book this hotel anymore. We arrived in the afternoon and there were no cars in the parking lot. No one was in the hotel. The windows were completely sealed. The room was right next to the road, very noisy, musty, and run-down. We didn't stay and the hotel refused to refund us. The front desk clerk (see pictures to see where she came from) was very arrogant. She sat down and spoke to us while we were standing. See pictures for details."

📍 345 Esplanade, Sydney

"Proprietor shouted loudly and rudely into my face on the front steps of the lodging, absolutely unwarranted and uncalled for. The 4-digit code for entry / exit to booked room, as DOCUMENTED, applies to the front door as well. I had used it successively to both lock the door when exiting, and open the door upon returning. Then: it would not work. For that, I was shouted at, when all I was trying to do was respect safety and security of the building. A TINY and easy-to-miss 'note' in the lobby points out that the door can be locked by simply touching the keypad. Unless this is pointed out, most guests are going to miss it. And the 4-digit code had worked previously, regardless. Shout loudly and rudely and intolerantly into the faces of well-intentioned guests, expect a review such as this one. There appears to be a pattern for this same conduct at this hotel."

"This hotel needs to be renovated. Excellent staff though. Breakfast area gets crowded on weekends. You may have to wait for a table. You need to give a 250$ deposit upon check in (pre-authorization). Never saw that anywhere else. At least, you’re not billed so for those paying with a foreign credit card, you don’t lose money with the exchange rate of the refund."

Holiday Inn SYDNEY - WATERFRONT by IHG ★★★
"Location was perfect. Right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Plenty of towels in the room and the room staff were courteous and asked if I needed any daily essentials. The view from the room window was looking right at the cruise ship terminal and I saw a 2 ships arrive in the two days I stayed. The only thing that I did not like was the parking fee which was charged per day for parking my car. This is an obvious cash grab."

Royal Hotel Sydney ★★★
"This was the most bizarre experience ever. The 'contactless check-in" text from the Proprietress was completely lacking any useful detail for checking into our accommodation. We arrived at the front door at 10 pm on a gorgeous summer evening and the door was locked, front step was dark -called the Proprietress - she was irritated and short with us - insisted on us being "Silent" - 'absolutey no making noise' were her word. She insisted we wear slippers and then after us unpacking and talking in our room - she came knocking at around 11:30 pm insisting "to speak with someone" - when we didn't respond SHE LET HERSELF INTO OUR ROOM. She was very agitated and I went to the bedroom door of our suite/room to confront her she told us "THIS WAS HER PROPERTY" and that she "NEEDED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE" - me standing in doorway was not enough for her so I closed the door and reminded her that "HER PROPERTY" was "A HOTEL". V V strange experience. My husband and I DO NOT recommend this property to anyone other than our medium to very worst enemies - lol."

Travelodge by Wyndham Sydney ★★
"This was a very disappointing experience. The alarm went off at 5am and lasted for more than 30 minutes. The hotel did not give any explanation. We booked on Ctrip and prepaid the room. The hotel did not give any compensation. If we booked online, we would get a refund. I was speechless about this way of handling things."
