Top Colonial House Museum Hotel Reviews

10/10 Excellent

"All staff are professional, helpful and friendly. Room was spacious and luxurious, with a great sized balcony to sit & watch the harbour. Breakfast buffet a highlight - hot, fresh, delicious choices and quick friendly service. Will definitely stay again!"

Hyatt Regency Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was outstanding"

The York by Swiss-Belhotel International

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located near George street but away enough from it as well. It’s an easy walk to Barangroo, The Rocks, Circular Quay, and Sydney Opera House as well as everything below from that. The hotel’s luggage storage was great since my flight wasn’t until 7 at night. I love that I have a washer and dryer in the room. I came back from a rainy whale watching day, which had a lot of salt water splashed on me. It was easy to do laundry at my convenience."

Rydges Australia Square

8/10 Good

"Staff great / room clean / amenities restaurant bar available / close to easy transport train tram uber taxi"

Rendezvous Hotel Sydney The Rocks

8/10 Good

"Our room definitely didn't look like the pictures! It was extremely tired and old ... the curtains were broken and hanging off hooks in places. The kitchen was awful and I didn't use it. The bathroom was fine, the beds were fine. It didn't feel "grubby" but I had to wonder when the last time the carpets or bread spreads or mattresses might have been cleaned. Mostly though the conditions of the curtains was just utterly foul. With regards to location, we didn't know the area at all. Finding it from the train station using google maps was quite complicated. Getting ubers to and from for the evening event we attended, and to go to the Fish Markets the next morning, was very challenging. The Uber drivers couldn't find us, both times, and it's a really tricky actual physical address. Keep that in mind if like us, you don't know the area. The most disappointing thing, which wouldn't be a big deal for most I'm sure, is that I was only there for one night, for an awards event at The Rocks. I'd booked hair and makeup to come to the hotel, but the lighting in the room was appalling. Luckily the make-up artist had brought portable lights, but even so, if you want a room that you can actually see properly - this isn't the room/hotel for you! Would I stay there again? If I had no other options, then yes. The front desk was very clean and friendly, so that was something!"
