“An ideal location with a helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

The must haves in a vacation hotel:
- proximity to public transportation
- clean and quiet rooms
- coffee nearby (you have to have your "flat white" each morning!)
- a HELPFUL concierge, especially Allan Alvarez
- major attractions within walking distance

This hotel ticked every box with nice bonuses like a phenomenal gym, ability to use Marriott Rewards points, newly renovated rooms, an early arrival lounge, and restaurants and shops within walking distance. I'd recommend it to any traveller.

“Good location for the harbour”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

Good location if you want to be near the harbour and it's activities. It's about 15 mins to walk up to the main shopping in Sydney. Checkin was a little slow so they upgraded me to a higher room with a view of the bridge which was great. Room was fine for a business trip. There was no bath which is a shame as it's a nice luxury at the end of the day. Room was expensive compared to others that I have stayed at in Sydney. I stayed here as I had a conference at this hotel. Breakfast was standard hotel buffet. Overall nothing outstanding about this hotel but everything was perfectly acceptable - food, accommodation and friendly service. I picked up a stomach bug on the second night (not due to the hotel food) and they allowed me a midday checkout which was great.

“I would stay again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2013 via mobile

The best located hotel. Clean, friendly knowledgeable staff with a great buffet breakfast, offering everything you could want.
We had a great room, we didn't require a view of the harbour, as we weren't planning to spend the weekend in the room.
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

“Not Your Average Marriott”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2013

This Marriott is in a great location - near the Opera House, Ferry Station, The Rocks District, and Royal Botanic Gardens. The property is quite nice (more like a JW Marriott than a standard one). Friendly and helpful staff, plus an outstanding executive lounge for gold/platinum members including free wine/beer/cocktails and nice breakfast/evening snack options. The rooms are updated and offer great views of the city or harbor. The fitness room was also well done.

“above average, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2013

The room was perfectly adequate for a business trip. Nicely appointed, pretty quiet, with a great view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Everything worked. The front desk staff were very friendly and extended my stay one night with ease. I thought the value was good. The best part of the hotel is the location - a two minute's walk away from Circular Quay ferries, The Rocks, and lots of other attractions. I would definitely stay here again, although I might prefer to look for a small hotel in The Rocks since I spent most of my free time there.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a view of the bridge.
