Super accommodation lovely bathrooms however can be spoilt by traffic noise depending on the room you are allocated. Thanks to Dean for his recommendations and to Con for making our reservation and stay so pleasurable. Staff could not be faulted and a special mention to Kylie on reception.

Our stay at Sir Stamford was for 4 nights and it was great. We had great proximity to the Opera House and the Botanic Gardens. The breakfast was delicious though it wasn't free with the room. We got a two for one special deal which helped with the pricey food. The bed was comfy and the room was very clean.... More

The location was perfect. Our room was large and bath was huge with a tub and a shower. It was quiet even though we were on the front. The plumbing needs to be updated, but the furniture was not worn. It's very old world style with a large sitting room on the third floor and the bar is like a... More

Dear Valued Guests Thank you so much for your lovely review - we are so pleased that your experience was exactly as it should be. A swim, shower and change after a long flight or dawn arrival is very refreshing. Some guests do pre-book and pay for their room to be ready and waiting - but this does add another... More

We stayed at the Sir Stamford a couple of months ago when we had a concert at the Opera House (just a few minutes walk away).

This Hotel was located within walking distance of the opera house, circular quay and the rocks, making it an amazing location. However the property seemed to be in need of refurnishing with the furniture looking worn. The hotel is advertised as 5* however the feel is that of a 4* at best. There was no ceiling lighting in main part... More

I took my elderly mother on holiday to Sydney - her first visit, and I wanted to choose a comfortable but lovely hotel that was intimate but had great service.
