The Jensen Potts Point
8.0 (73 reviews)

The Jensen Potts Point ★★

📍 71 Macleay St, Potts Point

"Having a sink in the room was very convenient. The shared bathroom was also incredibly clean, so it didn't feel like a shared space at all during my 5-night stay. I've already booked for another 2 nights during the Vivid Festival and plan to keep that reservation! Oh, and to the staff: I stayed in Room 209 and accidentally left behind one of the parts for my hair straightener! Please keep it safe for me. I'll be back for a 2-night, 3-day stay from May 26th to 28th. I'd really appreciate it if you could give it back to me then. Thanks!"

The Capsule Hotel
8.4 (334 reviews)

The Capsule Hotel ★★★

📍 Level 3/640 George Street, Sydney

"There was no hot water when I was showering. The drainage is also blocked, causing a lot of water to accumulate in the bathroom, and the lighting in the toilet is quite dim. But everything inside the capsule itself was good."

The Star Grand Hotel and Residences Sydney
9.0 (166 reviews)

The Star Grand Hotel and Residences Sydney ★★★★★

📍 80 Pyrmont Street, Pyrmont

"This hotel is excellent."

Mercure Sydney
8.9 (981 reviews)

Mercure Sydney ★★★★

📍 818-820 George Street, Chippendale

"This Mercure is a reliable choice you can't go wrong with. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic; it's so good and filling, we didn't even need lunch! The room is spacious and bright, with unbeatable city views. Most major landmarks are within a 20-minute walk. Plus, you can change the lighting in the room, which is a nice touch. The bathroom is huge, with a vanity mirror spanning the entire wall – perfect for both adults and kids to get ready at the same time. There's also a full-length dressing mirror."

Paradox Sydney
9.2 (243 reviews)

Paradox Sydney ★★★★★

📍 27 O'Connell St, Sydney

"The Paradox is in a great location, it’s not far to walk to the the Rocks and the ferry wharfs as well a short walk to Pitt Street Mall. The Metro station is very close. The staff were amazing, very accommodating and friendly. Our room was great very clean and could not believe how big the room was even with the king bed. Thank you to all the staff at the Paradox Sydney."

Central Studio Hotel Sydney
7.7 (589 reviews)

Central Studio Hotel Sydney ★★★★

📍 803-813 George St, Haymarket

"It’s a very convenient location just walking distance from Central Station MRT(train) Lots of eateries & shop around the hotel, no worries of running out of food or personal items. The hotel is near Chinatown hence you will see a lot of Asian food very easily accessible. Haymarket is a nice place to have nice breakfast & coffee as well. Service is good and front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Just a heads up, they do not provide breakfast & no room service in the hotel. Water is not provided at all. Other than that, my 7 days stay was pleasant."

"We booked W sydney months in advance with breakfast included and is worth it . Food choices are plenty during breakfast and can order different eggs style and cooking preparation during breakfast and can order different hot or cooled selection of drinks as well. Hotel is clean and location is near china town ,paddys market , and harbour easily accessible to townhall in a walkable distance of 7-10 mins away. There is a fireworks show on saturday night that lasted 5-7minutes.. There are lots of restaurants around the area and ice cream shops as well . There is even a park at the back of the hotel and a playground for kids. I highly recommend this hotel. There is 2 pool in the hotel at 22nd floor and 29th floor .  The hotel is beside  Imax cinema ."

InterContinental Sydney Hotels in Sydney

InterContinental Sydney

"The service was excellent, and the room had a fantastic view. I stayed for a week and was given a high floor, late check-out, and a welcome gift. It was convenient to walk everywhere, offering great value for money. The in-room dining food was also delicious and priced similarly to outside restaurants, not overpriced at all. The only downside was the number of non-guests, likely heading to the rooftop bar, which made it a bit noisy at times."

"The location is super convenient, whether you're heading to the Sydney Opera House or doing a city walk. There are also plenty of dining options nearby, and the room was spacious. Every staff member we encountered was very nice. The view from our room was absolutely beautiful, with sights of the Opera House and the bridge. Overall, it was a great experience, and the room even had a capsule coffee machine with delicious coffee!"
