Sofitel Sydney Wentworth

Sydney Central Business District Sydney|0.63km from Speakers Corner Hyde Park
4 night stay for Vivid. Chose this as an Accor member and that it was close to the Harbour. Upgraded to a Prestige Suite, Club benefits and was not disappointed. Yes the building is not new, it’s not like the shiny new hotels in town, but it’s solid and my sleeps were uninterrupted and rarely heard noise from the hall. My Suite 930 was spacious, clean, well appointed, Sofitel Bed topper and electric sockets to plug in my adapters to charge. Like other reviews no USB ports but I’m sure most sensible travellers have an adapter. The Club Sofitel access was the perfect addition. Early check-in and waited with a hot tea while my suite was made up. It was 9:30am but the room was rushed and 30 minutes later I was unpacking. Evening canapés and drinks from 5:30pm. Table drink service by Alley and her dedicated, personable, attentive team. They remember your preferences pretty quickly and it became an oasis from Vivid hoping and sightseeing. My suite completely blocked out the light and slept through 2 alarms, it’s the Sofitel Bed topper. Breakfast at Club Sofitel, peaceful, plenty of options to choose from, salmon and capers to a great gluten free station, eggs cooked to order and a great way to start the day. Try the Dilmah Blood Orange and Eucalyptus tea. Thanks Lara. Afternoon Tea served from 2:30 and daily sandwiches , scones, cakes and complimentary drinks, tea, coffee and soft. On entering the Club Lounge, always a friendly greeting, your preferred drink served and a relaxing space anytime of the day. The Club team really made my stay, they work really hard to make your stay great. Housekeeping always made up my room before my afternoon return. Always a Bonjour as you walked past them in the hall. My stay was great. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The Lobby is grand and the history of this hotel makes her great. Not the newest but I prefer tradition and good honest service. Definitely not the style of hotel for everyone but my expectations were met and exceeded beyond imagination. Club Sofitel is a must. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is an amended review to highlight the ongoing lack of communication from the hotel. It is fair to say that the hotel had some great things going for it but, sadly, customer support is not one of them. Breakfast was excellent and the roof top Aster bar was a great place to enjoy a cocktail and see some spectacular sunsets. However, the whole thing was let down by extremely lacklustre support from the management down. My wife lost her glasses in the hotel. They are prescription reading glasses in very distinct designer frames and were in a sparkly gold box. We asked at the desk during check out if they had been found and were told that they had not been handed in but that reception would check with the Aster bar, where we believe they had been left but was closed at the time of check out. We were due to be in Sydney again in 4 days and the receptionist took all the details and a description of the glasses and case and said that she would email me to give me an update. Sadly we didn’t hear back. Four days later when we returned to Sydney we checked back at the hotel there was no note against our booking and the duty receptionist said nothing could be done but was unable to confirm if a check had been made in the Aster rooftop bar. I asked to speak to the duty manager and an Irish lady, whose name I sadly didn’t get, came out to speak to me. She was very apologetic and said it was not the normal standard we should expect from the hotel and promised to speak to the Aster staff and that she would get back to me by email before the end of the day. Sadly, no further communication was forthcoming and a follow up email to the hotel remains unanswered. We realise that the loss was our fault but the lack of interest from the staff and unfulfilled, empty promises from the management would definitely deter us from staying there again. It would appear that the management have no interest in fostering customer satisfaction.

I had high expectations of Capella Sydney after staying multiple times at Capella Bangkok and being treated as though I were the most important person in the hotel, just like all of the other guest who stay there are. The attention to service detail at Sydney location unfortunately failed very short to meet my expectations. The booking process on the website was glitchy and the pricing was inconsistent, sometimes showing pricing including tax sometimes not without indication and only upon receiving confirmation via email from reservations was the price confirmed, which did not match the screenshots of the reservation when I placed the booking so I had to go back and forth with reservations via phone and email to simply confirm the accurate pricing for my stay. After creating an account to log on to their booking platform although the option of modifying the booking was offered, the feature did not work on the site, so you had to cancel the booking and book a new booking if you simply wanted to extend by 1 day. This is before I even arrived at the hotel. When I did arrive, it is of course, no small feat that the restoration of this historic building was carried out with the utmost respect for the architecture, from the flooring material to the fenestration and even the internal grand stair way was brilliantly retro-fitted with current code requirements for the handrail in a historically appropriate yet contemporary solution. The hotel does not have many floors, so I encourage anyone to take the stairs to experience the beauty of the restoration work. The recognition of the strong identity of the urban location and sense of place in Sydney’s CBD offers us a promise, an encounter, as the space of the possible. I wish I could say the same about the interior design. There was a real disconnect between the intent of the architecture and that of the interior design. The decoration at best seemed vague, and so for the guest experience, how could one of have a point of view about the effect of the design? The space of the expectant “possible” relationship I was expecting from the simple activity of stepping into Farrer Place’s south entryway marked Department of Agriculture, as local stories interpreting colonial history with ancestral elements of the Eora people by Waayni artist Judy Watso unfolded, or the sense of expansive freedom through the bronze Palazzo doors on Loftus Street into the latent quiet luxury of the grand stair was lost when I was met with the contrasting designs and colours of the lift lobby vestibule axminster carpet and that of the corridor carpet to the guest rooms, able to be seen in the same frame. Although an argument can be made about eclecticism and the use of curating a collection of exceptional vintage and contemporary objects this was not the case here, it read as a mismatched bric-à-brac (to borrow a Victorian word from the building time period that's true meaning in French means ”any old way” or ”at random”).

The Sebel Sydney Martin Place

Sydney Central Business District Sydney|0.52km from Speakers Corner Hyde Park
Room initially appeared well presented with good basic amenities and good central location for what we needed. Bathroom with large shower and good water pressure. Bed comfy.Front reception staff friendly and helpful. Parking close by (although a bit of a rabbit warren to get to / from car park, you also may need to tell parking staff that you a a guest of the hotel to get in as it also has public parking and fills up). The negatives I noted that bedside table had a couple marks (looked greasy/ hadn’t been cleaned properly) otherwise the room appeared clean to me. The tea and coffee looked like it was skimped (box showing 4 pods of coffee only had one). Friend in different room had similar experience and their soap was empty. Heard another guest complain about the cleanliness of their room to front reception whilst I was waiting in the lobby. For me the real surprise was being charged for things I didn’t use in the minibar. I rang them once I was home and reception told me it wasn’t an error, and the bill would remain (however they said ‘we will check’). I had one drink, not 3… unless I drank them whilst asleep!This is actually the action which motivated me to review this hotel, so others know to be careful. The charge won’t break my bank account but I feel like I have been shortchanged. I think all the issues with the hotel are with housekeeping, I won’t stay again though due to the minibar charges. If the housekeeping improved (cleanliness, refilling consumables and not charging guests for items not used) it has potential to be a nice hotel.

Ovolo Woolloomooloo
4.5/5123 Reviews
Sydney Central Business District
The industrial-style design hotel was originally located at a cargo terminal. The visual effect is very good, and the service staff are also very enthusiastic. Although there is no breakfast, the food, drinks and wine in the minibar can be enjoyed every day. There is a loft room on the fifth floor, which is the top floor, with a good view. However, it rained on the first night and the raindrops pattered on the roof. The sound was very loud, so I didn't sleep well. There is a botanical garden next to it and it is very close to walk there, but it is best to take a taxi to get to the commercial street. Because the hotel is at the port and the commercial centers are on the hillsides, so you have to go up and down the hills to take a detour. The shower in the bathroom broke and water splashed, and the water flow was a little slow, but the overall feeling of staying here was pretty good, so these minor problems can be ignored. The entire building not only has a hotel, but also some restaurants and bars, as well as apartments where residents live. Not only do I like many sculptures in the building, but there are also many good works of art on the pier outside the hotel. If you always like art and design, I recommend you come here to experience it.
Travelodge Hotel Sydney Martin Place

Sydney Central Business District
The hotel location is near the subway station and it takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to the Sydney Victoria Shopping Centre / Circular Quay. There is a bus stop downstairs to different places in the city, such as bondi beach. The hotel facilities are average, the beds are very narrow, and I don't like to see the inside of the quilt, other equipment is quite clean.
Nesuto Woolloomooloo

Didn't eat breakfast, when I went, it was just a little taste. But the front desk is super welcoming, and it helps us to mention the luggage and recommend us a fun place. Also help us open the window ventilation. The most important thing is that the room is super large, the bathroom is very full, the living room has a kitchen with a dining table, close to the sea, the train is very close, and it takes 20 minutes to the city.

Mariners Court Hotel Sydney
4/5103 Reviews
My family and friends have been staying at Mariners for several years. We are all well travelled and have stayed at a range of hotels around the world, from modest to ritzy. Mariners is unique- it’s not pretentious or trendy but fits in so well with the quirky and historic character and location of the surrounding area of Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross. The rooms are comfortable, and accessible for people with disabilities ( one of the original purposes of the hotel) . They have little balconies and windows that open- so rare. On my recent visit I left my hand bag containing car keys etc in a taxi. It was amazingly returned by the driver some time later , but not without many phone calls and dramas in between. Donna ( the long time co manager) was wonderfully helpful and understanding, suggesting recovery ideas and ringing key copying services. When the bag was returned to the hotel finally, and when we had already left, she made repeated calls to reach us on a bus returning to Canberra and managed to connect with us when we stopped at the airport. We then got off the bus and returned to the hotel to retrieve the bag and most importantly the car keys and car! Could this kind of personal and caring kind of service have happened at a five star glass and steel international chain hotel? No. Thanks Donna….
Cozy M Hotel
4/513 Reviews
Good points; Newly appointed rooms were very well done with more lighting options than you could point a stick at. Clean and well maintained. Quiet location but only 20 mins walk to Opera House etc. Breakfast thrown in was good. Down side; Self closing room and corridor doors made a loud bang on closing unless controlled. Late night returning guests obviously not aware or didn't care and let doors slam. Guests above appeared to have pet elephants with them and didn't care about the door slamming either. Otherwise OK.
