Top The Vanguard Hotel Reviews

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay, excellent location"

The York by Swiss-Belhotel International

10/10 Excellent

"Great room in excellent location"

Rydges Australia Square

8/10 Good

"Contactless check-in felt cold and unwelcoming. Room was very small for a premier King, but it was very clean, and the bed was super comfortable. Limited space for two large suitcases. Also no welcome drink provided as promised (we're Rydges card members). Tv had no streaming only guest app login only, despite their home page advertising inhouse movies. Not even the maintenance man knew about the latter. Front desk staff were not very friendly or helpful when we approached them about queries. Cocktail bar was closed on Saturday night (we stayed Thurs - Mon). The best thing about the hotel was it's close proximity to all the tourist spots, being walkable distances and close to transport. Our room view was bleak (a building directly across and street below). Maybe show this on the advertised photos? Gym facilities were apparently a shared use of an "Anytime Fitness" gym just around the corner. We never found this gym. Staff didn't ask how our stay was when we checked out, instead just demanded our room number, and that was it. The shower door in our bathroom squeaked every time you opened and closed it. The housekeeping was very good. Overall I was disappointed with this hotel experience. I probably wouldn't stay here in future, despite it's fantastic location."

PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney

8/10 Good

"Handy location close to China town, and Darling Harbour. Whilst rooms were clean the hallway and areas outside of lifts didn’t look like they had been vacuumed or dusted for a while. Water jugs and water stations are a great idea. Bar area was vey nice and great value happy hour prices. For the amount we paid for this hotel I was somewhat disappointed as it was nothing special. Staff were super friendly and helpful."

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great service. Nice rooms!"

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Typical Four Seasons experience . . . it was excellent, although frankly we've only stayed at the Four Seasons maybe 3-4 times in our lives. Price as also very reasonable."

Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour

8/10 Good

"Good location for Darling Harbour Staff were warm and friendly. Only setback was that there was minimal kitchen facilities available"

Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney

8/10 Good

"The location is awesome. One tram stop away from circular quay. We love the city views, the big bed, and the corner rooms where we usually stay, are enjoyable. The water from the shower often saturates the floor, which is annoying. Also, the bathroom has few places to store toiletry bags etc, so they have to go on the floor if they don’t fit on the sink area. The service is very good and there is always a lovely fresh smell in the lobby. Breakfast is good, if a little same, same. The staff there are all a little stern. It would be nice if they were a little friendlier."

Hilton Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room. Friendly staff , breakfast place has a very good ambiance and looks very posh. The only thing that is off putting is that their pool and gym facilities open at 9 am on weekends, which is late and close at 6 pm , which I think is way too early. We were looking forward to using them just to find out that we won’t have enough time if we want to go out and about the city all day. Other than that, staying at the Hilton Sydney was a great experience. It is also well situated, it’s right across the Queen Victoria Building, close to the shopping district, the light rail station is literally right outside the hotel which pretty much can take you anywhere in the city circle."
