Not recommended

For the price point, this stay was disappointing. For a little less at the same price point, I stayed at a much nicer, more modern hotel within walking distance of this hotel. The good thing about Sydney Harbor Hotel was the location but there are better hotels within walking distance at a similar price point. The staff were helpful and friendly. However, the place is in desperate need of total renovation. The shower was mouldy. The floor was dirty. The bed was old and saggy. I rarely write poor reviews but I would not recommend nor stay here again.

This hotel was perfect for me. It’s a little dated, but the room was fine, just a normal hotel room. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was great, and you couldn’t have a better location. Step out the door and you’ll see a view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and everything is within walking distance. I’m glad I chose this hotel, it worked out perfectly for me.

The room was clean, Wifi was super-fast, and staff was courteous; the only thing was the bathroom faucets that is kind of outdated but ok. the location was excellent as it's right next to the Cruise Port, Ferries, and the Tramway station, so it was very convenient if you are staying for few days touring the city.
