This location can not be beat.It is a short walk to Sydney Harbor Ferries, The Rocks district, the botanical gardens, shopping and restaurants. The train station is right across the street, if you need to venture farther, It also makes the hotel easy to find. The rooms were large, though lacked in good light for makeup. My roomie thought the... more

We stayed at the Menzies for 6 nights and found the hotel to be perfectly fine. The rooms are small (probably due to the era that it was built), but comfortable and perfectly adequate. The bed was very comfortable (new mattress) and the room was clean and cleaned well daily. We were accomodated with an early morning arrival after a... more

The Menzies is located in the middle of the central business district, directly across the street from a rail station (which has many shops, including a supermarket, in it). The hotel is within easy walking distance of the Rocks (oldest part of Sydney), Circular Quay and Darling Harbor. A place to get information on buses is in the entrance to... more

Very good location, walking distance to both harbours with Aquarium and Opera house. Train station just on the other side on the street, free gym and nice rooms. Expensive to eat at hotel, but breakfast in the diner across the street was superb, so we we're happy. more

Spent 1 night in the city after a dinner harbor cruise. Booked a 4 star on Priceline and got this hotel. I am not sure the rooms are quite 4 star quality. The bed was old and uncomfortable, and the room decor was circa 1976. The hotel itself is impressive, with a nice lobby and the staff were very helpful.... more

I wasn't actually disappointed, because I had read the reviews beforehand, but it was far dirtier than I anticipated. Our room was luckily, a deal through an agent. Positives: Staff, esp. the concierge were excellent all around. Even housekeeping was friendly. Location was great- had brekky in the train station almost ever morning. There's also a grocery store on the... more

We stayed here during our Sydney portion of our honeymoon. Without even mentioning to the front desk when we checked in that it was our honeymoon (our travel agency may have contacted them), they gave us a free upgrade to a nicer room with a garden view. We also received a bottle of champagne when we got back to our... more

The Menzies is in walking distance to the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, The Rocks, Chinatown and the Fish Market. We took a bus to Bondi Beach which was easy to find and only a 30 minute ride. The hotel staff was absolutely incredible! Extremely helpful and the Concierge went above and beyond any that we have... more

The Menzies, Sydney by sufr54, 4 more photosWe already had a hotel in Sydney, but it was to far from all of the main attractions, with a little research we found the Menzies Hotel on Carrington St. What a stroke of luck for us. A beautiful hotel in the old Grand Style with marble floors, rich deep hard woods everywhere... more
