We stayed in a loft suite which was very nice but smaller than I was expecting. It was great to have a second wc on the lower level and the decor of the room was very nice. There was nowhere to hang used towels in the bathroom which was a bit of a pain as we had to use the... More

I stayed with my sister and mum for one night at the Blue Taj Hotel. We stayed in a King suite loft. It was a great size. There is a toilet downstairs and a bathroom upstairs. The bed is really comfortable. The decor is modern and cosy. They had little things like an ipod docking station, iron (with a proper... More

Blue sydney is a great hotel, well located, with friendly and helpful service staff. The interior design of the hotel is interesting and unique and the facilities, with pool and gym are quite good. I did find the gym a little small, but similar to many that i have seen before. The service staff were really what set this hotel... More

I stayed in Blue for three nights and enjoyed the experience a great deal. The hotel itself occupies a unique wooden building (originally a cargo handling facility) at the wharf of Wooloomooloo. The rooms are uniquely designed to a very high standard and are well equipped (as you would expect from a 5 star hotel). The true beauty of the... More

Excellent attention to detail in their room appointments and housekeeping, and a wonderful use of space. The beds and pillows are ridiculously comfortable, so it was easy to get a really great night's sleep here. The bar is quite low key these days, and the hotel is in a fairly quiet part of town, so expect your nightlife to be... More

We were trying to stay close enough to the 'heart' of Sydney, but not for the 'price' of hotels in the 'heart' of Sydney. The Blue was absolutely a perfect choice. We could walk to all main attractions (Opera House, Bridge, etc.), and were situated across from a lovely park. The staff at the hotel could not have been better.... More

My partner and I were dining at China Doll for our anniversary and decided to throw a hotel stay in the mix. We live in Sydney and thought it would be nice to "get away" for the night and we managed to get a last minute rate. Very welcoming staff. We stayed in the Deluxe Pier King room. The room... More

We stayed at the Blu Sydney for three night in January. The hotel design is Impressive, and the staff was friendly. The room was very small (we booked into a deluxe room) and the shower room very tiny. The location is good, but not for those looking for buzz and nightlife, as it is a bit remote from the centre....

I would ideally rate Blue a 3 1/2, but that's not an option, so I went with 4 to be generous. Stayed for a weekend (Friday/Saturday). Overall impression is that it was nice place to stay, but doesn't quite live up to its former glory. I mean there's nothing wrong with the hotel - It must have been hugely impressive... More
