Stamford hotels area world wide brand with an image associated with excellence in the hotel industry. Unfortunately this Stamford hotel lets the branding down badly. Arrived with my bags only to help the cab driver unload them myself. No concierge staff anywhere and eventually when it was obvious no one was appearing to help my partner and I took the... More

We stayed at the Sir Stamford for three nights over the New Years Eve period in December 2011.The location is fantastic being literally 150metres from the Opera House which allowed easy acess to the Harbour when all the roads and acess to the harbour side over the NYE period was restricted. Location apart the hotel itself is the epitome of... More

I hate all the glass, metal and plastic of the large chain hotels so i was delightfully surprised to find this charming hotel in probably the best location within Sydney ... near everything. The harbor and opera house views are a tad over-rated but the rooms are spacious, well-appointed and really quite luxurious. The breakfasts were delightful - and it... More

Room 503 was awesome, large room, large full marble bathroom and big courtyard with views to the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Wish the weather was nicer so we could swim in the lovely pool and make use of the courtyard area. Within walking distance to the Opera House and the Quay. Only negative was we had to wait 15 mins for... More

I am a regular here. Ilove the olde world charm, the fire place cackling during colder months, the relaxed yet efficient staff who are so courteous yet helpful; the views over the gardens and harbor; the generous room sizes, and classic furnishings and so on. Ok.... Australia does not seem to be able to compete with five star hotel levels... More

This was our first stay at the Sir Stamford, Circular Quay and I must say we were very impressed. The room was lovely and the breakfast excellent. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and I we loved the location. We both prefer small boutique hotels so the Sir Stamford was perfect for us. We will definitely be going back. More
