"Amazing hotel"

Rydges World Square

8/10 Good

"A great location for easy access across the CBD and easy walking to metro and tram station, and easy access to World Square eateries. Room was overall nicely appointed and a comfortable size, but a little dated in places and the hotel is showing it's age somewhat in terms of wall scuffs, carpet, bathroom tiles. However a comfortable stay, quiet, and good location for business in the city."

YEHS Hotel Sydney CBD

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff and nearby to restaurants, shops and public transportation"

Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour

8/10 Good

"Clean room, nice views of the harbour, the food was good and the pool was adequate. Good gym and spa facilities. The wait time to check in was a little longer than expected as only 2 staff were at the front desk but apart from that a great central spot to stay with comfortable rooms and great food options."
