This was our first time staying at The Shangrila but certainly won’t be our last. Everything from cleanliness of rooms and spaces to helpfulness of staff to amenities, location and state of hotel were top notch!
Was in Club Horizon suite..could not fault in any way..just perfect..beautiful view,cleanliness perfect,staff helpful,food and drinks Club excellent..would definately stay again.
I really loved everything about this day. It was a beautiful hotel and staff was amazing. I utilize the spa, had a massage and they have a nice indoor pool and hot tub, everything was really top-tier. A perfect stay!
Well worth the money! Very close to the cruise port. Great location for walking to Sydney opera house, as well as other tourist sites. Very clean and comfortable hotel.
Lovely room with Sydney opera house views, best train stn to find it was wynyard, the staff friendly and helpful. I loved my time here. Recommend it. Note the rocks has lots of steps for moving up and around so be fairly active.
