I made the mistake of renting a car, but this hotel was so well located that we didn't use it for 4/6 days (could've skipped it for all days). Luckily we had a reserved parking space with our suite.

Loved the two bedroom suite, loved the view, really appreciated the free continental breakfast. Laundry facilities onsite. Nice to have the kitchen, fantastic living room. Overall a great place for families!!!

We are a family of five and stayed in a deluxe family room for two nights. It’s hard to find a good hotel that can put us in together without having to book two rooms. Our room was on the top floor and had a great view over Hyde Park and the harbour. It was very clean with a modern bathroom, good TV and air-conditioning. The free city shuttle bus that stops nearby made it easy to get to all the tourist spots although we chose to walk most of the time as everything is quite close. Short walk to Darling Harbour, George Street Sydney Tower and City shopping. Fifteen minute walk to Circular Quay, Opera House and the Domain. The hotels great location makes it easy to travel around the City, Kings cross, Bondi and the airport. The reception staff were all friendly and helpful and allowed us to store our bags at the hotel after we checked out at no cost. They organised an airport shuttle to pick us up later in the day which worked out better than a taxi. Housekeeping staff were very good and the daily newspaper left outside our door each morning was a very nice touch. Double glazed windows reduced the traffic noise at night and we slept soundly on very comfortable beds. The kitchenette was well equipped and shopping at the nearby Coles meant we didn’t have to eat out all the time. I would definitely stay at the Hyde Park Inn again.

I recently completed my fourth stay at the Hyde Park Inn (30 December-13 January 2013). This is still my number one choice for hotel while visiting Sydney. Coming from the US means getting into Sydney early morning and though my room wasn't ready, I was offered a place to leave my luggage and even a call when my room was ready (no cell phone for me so I was given an estimated time for the room to be ready). I set out to get some breakfast and to walk around a bit while waiting for my room. A couple of hours later I returned to the hotel and my room was ready, with my luggage already brought up. I go for a deluxe room with a balcony overlooking Hyde Park. The room is a great size and I appreicate the kitchenette with stove top. The waterfall showerhead is wonderful and the water pressure is great. I wanted to take the duvet home with me, so cozy. I like having a chair to sit on instead of the bed while kicking back in the room. The views of Hyde Park are awesome and you can see a bit of Wooloomooloo wharf from the higher floor rooms. The service has always been excellent. Everyone I ran into was friendly. One day I was in the elevator with the man who was delivering the breakfast foods and asked if I could switch out my Just Right cereal for something else, he was more than happy to get me a box of Coco Pops. The walk to the Circular Quay area is about 20 minutes, depending on pace. I have used the free 555 bus but it doesn't run until 9:30am. The Museum train station is right across the street. Darling Harbour is a very easy walk downhill, though remember, it's uphill after a long day out. I've stayed here two visits over New Year's Eve and the rates are very reasonable, even over that holiday period. I recommend the Hyde Park Inn to anyone I hear is visiting Sydney.

We stayed in a deluxe family room for two nights to explore Sydney with a grand-daughter aged 11. Being opposite Museum Station made it so much easier to get around. It was a short train trip from the airport and only two train stops to Circular Quay. Continental breakfast was provided each day and we were able to top it up with fresh fruit and yoghurt from a 7-eleven three doors away. The room wasn't large but it was pleasant and perfectly functional with a small kitchen and dining area. There were also comfy chairs and an ottoman.
It was lovely to be able to look out at Hyde Park. Surprisingly there was no traffic noise at night (Friday & Saturday) and we slept soundly on very comfortable beds.
Front desk staff, cleaning staff and housekeeping staff were all friendly and helpful. We arrived early and were able to get into our room within ten minutes to unpack which was a bonus, then on the last day we were able to leave our bags in a cloak room until the time of our flight.
