“One incredible hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

I booked this hotel using my SPG points and was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to the SPG gold floor. The room was spacious and very luxurious.

Prior to my arrival, I required some help from the concierge picking up a gift from a nearby shopping centre. Ron Greedy worked with me over the phone (I was in Melbourne at the time) to make all the arrangements. Although he did not have to do this pick up for me, Ron was incredibly accommodating and my gift was waiting for me upon check in. Thank you, Ron!

Overall, top-notch service, a top quality hotel in an excellent Sydney location. I would recommend the Westin Sydney to anyone.

“Don't wait for the bell hop!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

Porter and reception staff made checking in a breeze. Polite and efficient. The room was spacious and plenty of hanging space. The bathroom lovely and modern (with all the nice smelly bits too!) The bed somewhat soft for my liking but there was no outside noise - lovely and quiet considering this hotel is extremely central. My only glitch was chasing up for our bags - they arrived after repeated requests but close to 30 minutes later. We decided to carry our own on checkout .. we didnt want to miss the flight!

“Beautiful, true luxury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

Staying at the Westin was simply lovely. The hotel incorporates the old post office in quite an amazing way. I found the architecture dazzling and the room exceeded my expectations. It had fluffy robes, a great tv, and the best bathroom I have ever encountered in an Australian hotel.

I didn't interact a great deal with the staff, but on the one occasion I asked for advice, I found them friendly and helpful. The food in the hotel is predictably very expensive, but one alternative for snacks and drinks is the supermarket that is very close to the rear exit of the hotel, and down an escalator. Paying for WIFI in the hotel would be exhorbitant too, but thank heavens for smartphones.

“Centrally located corporate hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

This hotel is located very centrally in downtown Sydney. It is right next to the main shopping area, but not too far from the Sydney Harbour. I have stayed at a lot of Westin Hotels (I have SPG gold card), but this one is not one of the best ones. The rooms are fine. They are large, comfortable, clean and stylish. The problem was the service and that's why I am only giving the hotel four stars. After a long flight we could not check in the room because the phone was being repaired for a long time. The luggage was not brought up in a reasonable time, so we went back downstairs and brought it up ourselves. Once we were settled in we could not sleep because the property is next to a clock tower and the bell tolls every half an hour. Luckily it was turned off during the night, but it started again at 8 a.m. The restaurant at this hotel was very expensive. The was a small heated pool and a gym.

Dear givemesunshine

Thank you for your review following your recent stay with us. We were pleased you could take advantage of our central location however disappointed that we did not exceed your service expectations. Thank you for your observations regarding your luggage, we will certainly share this with our Front Office Manager to address with his team. The historic General Post Office Clock Tower is iconic and unique in Sydney. The bells are audible between 9am and 9pm; upon making your next reservation please advise your preference for a room further away from the clock tower and we would be delighted to accommodate. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Kind regards
