When filling in the guest survey form, I put a big line through the whole form and simply wrote - "Would not consider staying anywhere else in Sydney unless location was a factor". We stayed in club level accomodation, which is basically the normal room with King Size bed and access to the Club Lounge on the top floor. Club... more

I stayed at the Intercontinental in Sydney over two years ago now, but felt compelled to review it now that I am a regular Tripadviser reader. This is a smashing Hotel and I am so pleased to see that it gets mainly very good reviews. This was my first 'big' holiday away with our two sons travelling basically 'solo' with... more

The InterContinental Sydney is in an excellent location right next to Circular Quay and very close to The Rocks as well as George Street and Pitt Strett Mall shopping. Darling Harbour is just a short and convenient ferry ride away. The room had an impressive view of the harbour bridge and a very comfortable bed. Furniture was in very good... more

My wife and I spent two nights at this property. We were both impressed that this was an excellent choice to serve as our base in the CBD of Sydney. Our room was spacious, modern, clean and quiet with comfortable beds and a nicely appointed bathroom. We had a nice view of the Royal Botanic Gardens. The common areas of... more

I Stayed at this hotel with a group of friends just for 1 night for our last night in Sydney having travelled around Australia. We thought we would treat ourselves with it being our last night and we were blown away by the level of service and quality of everything within the hotel. Check in was quick and easy and... more

We stayed here for our first trip to Sydney for 3 nights. The hotel was classy, clean, and close to nearly everything. I would highly recommend spending a little extra money for a room with a view - we were on the 22nd floor and had an amazing view of the botanical gardens, the bay, and a slice of the... more

I just came back from a 16 days trip through Australia and for Sydney we decided to stay in the Intercontinental hotel. Our experience was very positive. The hotel is well located in the CBD and only 5 minutes walking distance to the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. The rooms are nice and clean and the service from the... more

Dear Limshang, Thank you for your positive feedback. We were very pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay. It’s interesting to note that the Cortile that you so admired holds a significant place in Sydney history. Built in 1851, it was once the site of the Treasury. We look forward to welcoming you again when you next choose to...

I must say, a bit disappointed with the overall experience. Service was slow and at majority of the occasions it took us more than 3 times to reach room service or housekeeping because there was no one to pick up the phone. Room was ok and so as bathroom, you can’t say 5 Star though. Normally 5 star hotels offer... more

Dear qb76, Thank you for taking the time and giving us your feedback. Please accept our apologies for any disappointment you experienced during your stay. We are usually very happy to offer late checkouts, however, when the hotel is full we cannot always accommodate these requests. In regards to service, I have shared your feedback with our Executive Housekeeper and...
