It was my first trip to Australia and I had an awesome stay! This was probably the best hotel I've ever stayed at in all my years of travelling. When I first entered the Medina Grand Harbourside, I was warmly greeted at the front desk by, I believe her name was, Kirstie. My room wasn't quite ready, as it was... More

In short, this is a good hotel convenient to Darling Harbour. Check In & Out was efficient. We had a dual key apartment on the first level which suited our needs (3 adults & 2 kids). Having space was important to us. For those wanting to be close to Darling Harbour, this hotel is only a hop skip and a... More

Despite of the great location this is not in the roll of the bests Medina´s. It is close to Harbour and just 5 min to excellent restaurants and entertainment.

Arrived at our hotel early, the receptionist took out baggage and locked it away for us while we went out for the day.

We spent 3 nights at the Medina and were upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite. The facilities were very good and the location at Darling Harbour is excellent. There is plenty of nightlife if you want it but we were not troubled in our room or in the surrounding area by all the action. More

We had a lovely room with a harbour view ( we were upgraded). Very spacious and a nice balcony.The location is great- steps away from Kings Wharf. The Aquarium is almost next door ( a GREAT take) and the monorail (which is fun to just take a ride on) is steps away. We were in Sydney briefly at the end... More
