This hotel is a shadow of its former self. I can remember staying here 5 years ago, and it was just lovely. Now, it's run like a 3-star with low care factor. The good things: having been Sydney's best hotel, the rooms are large and the bathrooms handsome; but the fittings and fixtures are worn and the rooms themselves are... More

Entering the Stamford seems to enter a bygone Grand Hotel period, with a lovely traditional feel. If you are unlucky there is only one staff at reception and perhaps one at the concierge, a situation which seems not being monitored by management and rather strange for a 5 star hotel. Staff are usually friendly, whilst the Bar unit could do... More

Wow, simply amazing is all I can say about this place!!! Right from the beginning from email contact to check-in, concierge, housekeeping everyone in this place was awesome. The customer service was simply exceptional from everyone & all the time and certainly the best service I've ever experienced! The room was gorgeous with a small balcony and a small view... More

Best location near CQ, friendly concierge, lovely spacious rooms, decent breakfast all set in a historical building. This one is a definite repeat. More

The bathroom all lovely marble. The beds were comfortable. If you are looking for slick & modern - this... More

The Sir Stamford offers old world elegance and a perfect location for visiting Sydney sights as it's a couple of minutes from Circular Quay, the main transport hub for ferries, trains and buses. A free city bus operates from here too. The rooms... More

We stayed at the Sir Stamford a few days before starting on our cruise to New Zealand. I can't say enough about the hotel or the staff. I would especially like to give so much thanks to the wonderful concierge who helped us. He went out of his way to make sure we knew exactly where we were going, how... More

This lovely hotel is in the perfect location to enjoy downtown Sydney by foot. Our deluxe room was large and beautiful and had a great balcony that overlooked the botanical gardens and had a view of the opera house! The gorgeous bathroom was all Carrara marble with double sinks, separate bath tub and large marble shower, and a separate room... More

My husband, 4 friends and myself were fortunate to complete our stay on the 30/31 Dec 11 and 1/1/12. The rooms were clean and the staff overall were pleasant and friendly. All requests were attending to with a smile. Our friends room was ready at 10 and they were more than happy to let us check-in. Unfortunately we weren't so... More
