If you are looking for "safe bet", this would be a good choice. We paid $350/night and I expected a little more luxury. The location is very close to the Circular Quay (the transportation center) and all the other attractions. We had to work hard to get a partial Opera House View at the front desk. The hotel if very... more

My wife and I had a deal to fly to Sydney on the cheap and we thus needed to look for a place to stay. We knew we needed something close to the action as we wouldn't be driving and we also knew we wanted to have any amenities available (though we rarely use them). The Marriott name and the... more

Recently stayed at the Sydney Harbour Marriot for a business conference and stayed extra night. The hotel is perfectly suited, rooms very nice and clean, bed was terrific, no complaints. Had a no smoking floor and whilst had read bad reviews about a smell, found nothing or smelt nothing out of the ordinary. The staff were nice and efficient, would... more

Great location. Helpful staff. Room was ready when we arrived at 11am from airport. Good size, very clean.. Avis is located at front of hotel. A few minutes walk to Circular Quay, and Rocks area. Main shopping is about 10 mins. Post Office and small cafe are next door but limited weekday hours. Cafe is good for a $10 Aussie... more

Just back from a 6 night stay at Marriott, and I have to give Marriott Sydney Harbour a first rate review. Location was great. As others have writen, it is convenient to Circular Quay, making transportation to other areas quick and easy. It is an easy walking distance to Quay, Opera House, Rocks, and Botanic Gardens. (The distances to these... more

The rooms are not that great. Not very big. However the location is perfect. It is minutes from Circular Quay underground Station. Can take the train from here to Sydney Airport which takes only 20 minutes. Can also view the harbour bridge from the rooms. Walking distance to the Opera House and the Harbour. Nice places to eat near by.... more

My girls and I stayed here on our way back from the Cairns area. The beds were scrumptious, the front desk was helpful with any questions we had and the Fitness Center was the best! No hassles about taking my teenagers in and letting them use the equipment (with supervision). They had just about every piece of equipment you could... more

My experice at the Marriott was absolutely amazing. My husband & I stayed here the first two nights of our honeymoon and we made the right choice. We got an upgrade to a room with direct views to the Sydney Harbour Bridge which sparkled all night. The service was fantastic across all departments. We spent 2 nights here and as... more

Standard Marriott predictability. Great location and depending on your room, you overlook the harbour and opera house, with plenty of restaurants around the hotel or a block or two away. Front desk staffs seem overworked and tired. Breakfast was quite lacking in selection and a bit of a zoo, it was really tough to get coffee or any sort of... more
