“Awesome accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Stayed here for one night with my partner for his birthday. Service was brilliant and we even got a room upgrade which was lovely. Staying in the room above the restaurant, not so fantastic on a Saturday night, however we survived. Room was clean and linen was fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The only big downside, was having to wait for over 30 minutes while the consierge tried to find our car. This was a little bit irritating as we weren't really told anything and had to sit and wait.

Room Tip: Do not book over the restaurant

“Excellent location and superb service.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

I stayed at the pier one and loved the location of the hotel. It is located right on the water at the literal foot of the Harbour bridge. My room opened up to the waterfront with a wonderful patio for coffee in the morning. The fact that the pier one is not very large and that it isn't amongst all of the big brand hotels just a few meters away is great. The staff was extremely courteous and I would highly recommend the pier one to anyone planning trip to Sydney.

“Good service hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

Was there for business and found concierge and front desk quite attentive and greeted everyone with a smile. Room was spacious and comfortable although would have loved a better room view instead of a small window overlooking a road. Was a little disappointed to know despite paying AUD310 a night, the hotel does not come with free wi fi in the room - instead we were "encouraged" to buy a drink from their restaurant and get the wifi code from them. Apart from that, location wise very near to the Rocks and walking distance to Circular Quay and the view of the Harbour Bridge is quite spectacular.

Room Tip: if you are particular about room view, ask for a better view room.
