Top Sydney Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"Best location! We walked everywhere! From the hotel to the Sydney Opera House and everywhere in between. And if you don’t want to walk any where, you don’t have to because a 5 minute walk takes you to the beautiful Darling Harbour. So many restaurants, shops and ice cream! Beautiful scenery with the water and yachts. Awesome playground for children too! The hotel has a delicious coffee and bakery shop in the lobby, a great restaurant and very helpful staff. Clean, large rooms. Comfortable beds. Couldn’t ask for more. I will definitely stay there again on my next visit."

The York by Swiss-Belhotel International

10/10 Excellent

Paradox Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff; clean rooms. Great food and drinks. Very close to everything transport; shops; Opera House; Botanical Gardens; galleries and museums"

Shangri-La Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"It’s in a great location. Especially if you get bridge and opera house facing room. Grab a coffee in morning and watch the sunrise over opera house. Breakfast is wonderful. Walkable to great restaurants. Loved it."

Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bien ubicado, una cuadra de la calle George, donde pasa el tren ligero, zona de tiendas y restaurantes"

Mercure Sydney

8/10 Good

"Rooms are clean and well-maintained with everything you need. Checking in and out are all done digitally on kiosks, and there is a very friendly and helpful staff there to assist if you have trouble. Convenient location and secure parking. Couldn't give five stars because there was a peculiar smell all throughout the building (thankfully not in the rooms) and because the sofa bed mattress was too thin and uncomfortable. The main bed mattresses were great, though."
