Stayed here for three nights in January 09, a fantastic location to explore the Sydney Harbour. Very easy to get to from the airport and only a short walk from the train station. We were upgraded to a room with a bigger balcony which was nice, and it was only a few metres from the pool, we have a kid... more

I stayed at Sir Stamford for four nights in January with my parents. We initially booked through lastminute.com but unfortunately they made an error in our booking and only listed two guests on the reservation. I was advised to contact the hotel directly about this (after waiting for three days for lastminute.com to contact me about this issue, not a... more

Stayed for three nights, excellent staff so helpful and polite.The rooms are very spacious and the breakfasts are excellent. It is very central just a short walk to the Opera House and the Harbour. more

The Sir Stamford is a lovely property, close to Circular Quay and all the cafes and restaurants, also very close to the Opera House. If you walk to keep fit then the Hotel is right beside the Botanic Gardens where you can easily do a morning walk. Breakfasts were good although a little expensive. The rooms are large with a... more

This hotel was amazing. We stayed their when our neice was married at Lavender Bay. The staff were amazing, cannot do enough to help their guests. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful quiet hotel with plush furnishings and value for money. The restaurant is also simply fantastic. Well worth a stay. You won't be disappointed. more

They even let a business... more

It would be about a ten minute walk to Hyde Park, which is closer to the very centre. ROOM: We stayed in a standard room with... more

We spent the last three nights of our Australia trip at this hotel and loved it. Check in was quick and we were up-graded to a suite with a view of the opera house, a lovely bonus. Furnishing/decor is very traditional and beautifully done. All staff are friendly and efficient. We were impressed to see the head chef speaking with... more

I have been to Sydney four times and have always stayed at the Marriott on Circular Quay. (See my prior review.) On this trip, I was looking at three weeks in-and-out of Sydney and I was taking my wife. She likes older hotels, and the Marriott was over $100 more than the Sir Stamford, so based on the generally good... more
