For the price I paid, this hotel did not live up to my expectations at all. The restaurant for breakfast had very poor food quality and service. I trust Intercontinental hotels, but this one was very disappointing.

Convenient Comfort

Very convenient & comfortable hotel near Sydney Harbour. Walkable to ferries, trams & train. Lovely views to harbour & Royal Botanic Garden. Early arrivals lounge on 31st floor, with access to showers, was welcome surprise. Only negative was our checked bags were initially delivered to wrong room -- that occupant, thankfully, called my mobile # directly (from IDs on bags) to let us know, as that could have been a horrific start to the trip. Outside that blunder, very happy with the stay.

The worst service i have ever had in any hotel. Slow, chaotic, long lines for reception, non-existent concierge and staff that could not care less. Really poor.

Good but

Mostly good review but in booking requested interconnecting rooms multiple times but were given rooms next to each other instead. Cups were dirty unfortunately & cleanliness was average for a 5 star. Location is excellent & Treasury bar is a great place to have a drink. Breakfast is top notch

Club lounge

Upon check in I asked if there was a chance of an upgraded room which was immediately granted. Afternoon tea was great and service quick. The evening beverages were plentiful and top quality, service very attentive. Food was sufficient but not great. 2 hot items, prawn and arancini. Then cheese, crackers …. Don’t expect it to be sufficient to skip dinner. The view was lovely overlooking botanic gardens and only one window overlooking harbour where there was no place to sit to see the view so we moved our table and chairs over a little so we could see out to the harbour bridge and opera house. Breakfast next morning in the bar upstairs had a stunning view overlooking harbour bridge and opera house. Al a carte menu was plentiful. Fresh juice good. There was also a table with cheese (assortment of great crackers) and cured meats to pick from. Salad items too. Lovely stay and the view at breakfast could not have been better. Sheraton on the park smashes it when it comes to the assortment of food available in the evening.
View from club lounge at breakfast.
