Pre-cruise stay.

We stayed for 6 nights before a cruise. Great location, we could walk to the ship, lots of places to eat, shop at, and transit options within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay.

Great hotel

Everything about the hotel was perfect and had a great upper floor with views of the opera house and the location couldn’t be any better. I’m staying there next time for sure.

Not up to par

This hotel is not worth the price. The only thing positive about our experience is the location. It is only a short walk to the cruise port. The restaurant was not open on the day that we were there. When we asked reception about restaurants, we were told that we could walk on the street to find one. The room and the lobby are as different as night and day. The lobby is attractive and modern. The room was old, barely furnished and ugly. It was furnished only with a TV. bed, a desk and two old night tables with nothing on them, not even a lamp or clock. The TV didn't work. The repairman promptly fixed it. Unfortunately, the TV was no longer working the next morning. The only reason that we didn't find another hotel is that we were very tired when we arrived and would board our cruise ship the next day. There is no way that we would have longer than that one night,

the location was ideal if you were a tourist. The hotel has no life and the room is super basic and dated. It was clean enough but certainly a no frills experience.

Such a great location. Very clean and friendly staff. I think the only thing was the restaurant in the hotel was only open for dinner thurs-sat, which we were hoping to use. But a few places locally that were still great.

Amazing views

Sydney sky Harbor had a very great location. The views for our room were stunning. The views from the rooftop pool were amazing. Getting to the hotel was a bit more difficult than anticipated because of the location on a hill, but once we arrived climbing uphill with very large suitcases in the pouring rain was worth it when we got to take a breath and look out and see the stunning Sydney Harbour. The room itself was very basic and on the older side, but had amenities that made it comfortable and great for a good nights rest as a transitionary place. Only stayed one night, but would happily stay here again.
