perfect place to launch into a cruise
We have stayed here before prior to joining a cruise. The perfect starting point and an easy downhill walk to the terminal. The Staff were lovely and helpful. There are great places too casual dining nearby. Give yourself an extra day to explore The building is partly historic so windows don't open but the air con was effective.

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.

A great location, and a clean room. A bit noisy in the lane down the side of the hotel when bins were collected, but no noise overnight. Some great cafes and food options very close by.

The room was old and dingy and as a VIP I did not receive any benefits. The one thing this property does have going for it is that it is in a great location.

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 location was perfect for us as we were taking a cruise, so it was pretty much across the street. The store next door was also very convenient. The room was a good size and the rooftop view was beautiful.
