It's a Hilton hotel, so met my expectations via 5-star hotels. Great location, in the middle of town and shopping. Prices are quite high for a hotel so works well for business trips. Happy to come back once I get some points up as queue in a couple free nights. If I had to say something negative, it's that I wish their smart tv's would have WiFi casting to stream Netflix or Prime video for the family hanging out. read more

Hilton Sydney - Darling Harbour only minutes away from Hilton. Location is great and in the middle of the city!! - Hotels Near Me - Sydney, NSW

The location is good because it is in the less busy part of town yet very walkable to shopping malls and tourist sights. The front desk staff was very nice and polite. The lobby is very pretty and has plenty of comfortable places to sit or to have a cup of tea. Our hotel room was nice and the bathroom was pretty big. Our view below was of the fountain, and we could see very far without any other hotel obstructions. The elevators were pretty quick. The gym and pool are on the lower floor, and they both were well maintained, though the gym was very small and crowded every time I went in. read more

Nice hotel in the Central Business District. Close to everything and the tram just outside makes it easy to get around. The staff is amazing, with check in problems, they went above and beyond to make it right. I highly recommend. read more

Had a lovely stay at the Hilton in Sydney and it's on George st, it is in the middle of everything like a 10 min walk to Darling harbor 4 stops on a tram to The Opera house, I went to China town which is like 5-10 min walk and the Westfield mall is around the corner, the staff is friendly and the rooms are lovely, it was my birthday and stayed there for 2 nights and I was surprised they gave me Champagne, thank you I was truly surprised :) Alessio was so friendly and nice :) read more

I last was here about 8-9 years ago and at that time, I was so impressed. The location was fantastic, the property was modern, beautiful and well-staffed, and they took great care of me as a Hilton Diamond member including an upgrade and a nice Executive Lounge to hang out in. Fast forward to now, post-COVID and much as changed. I'm unsure if this is the new normal or if they are having issues with staff shortages and budget constraints but the place just seems to have gone down a notch in just about every regard. Don't get me wrong, I am a Hilton loyalist and a lifetime Diamond loyalty program member so I am not trying to badmouth the brand. I will still continue to stay here when my work takes me to Sydney but this time around, the property just didn't shine the way it used to. Gone are consistent doormen and I found the front desk sometimes unstaffed. I expect that at budget hotels but that should be a minimum standard at places in the mid-3 digits per night for a room such as this. I also was a little surprised that the area around the hotel has become a lot less bustling tourist and motivated business workers hustling to enjoy their day and has a much more homeless panhandler feel to it peppered in with the addled druggie back-packer groups just loitering around all of the closed businesses in the middle of the night. When you add in the multiple areas of vomit staining the sidewalk from the late night revelers closing out the bars, it really gives you a sense that the business district of Sydney has taken a real downturn. It feels like Sydney borrowed the playbooks from Portland, Seattle or San Francisco and are doing a reasonable job of running their societal strategies from them. Within the hotel, the public spaces were clean but seemed to lack staff. The room was comfortable but nothing over the top. The restaurant and bar selections are uninspiring. Even the attached private gym which all guests have access to 24/7 seemed a bit run down. For $450 AUD/night, I expected a bit more as a hotel guest. The Executive Club was where I really noticed a downward spiral. Higher end Hilton branded hotels, especially international (non-USA) locations have some outstanding Exec Clubs that are often well-appointed, private areas with fantastic work-spaces. They are great to enjoy breakfast in or evening cocktails after a jet-lagged work day. This one had the bare minimums in terms of offerings. It is a fairly large space which is great but it is showing its age and was only staffed with cleaning person during most hours instead of the usual staff that can assist you as concierges. In the mid-afternoon, there were no staff and there were dirty tables all over needing to be bussed. When I entered around 3:30pm, I bussed my own table just to have a clean space to sit at. That was just plain disappointing. Sydney is a long way from home for me and I was let down by this Hilton experience. It was not a complete failure but it was clearly lower than what it should be given the prior stature of this hotel and its location. I will stay here for the location when I am in the area but otherwise, it will not be in my list of top international destinations. read more

I got upgraded from king guest room to city suite and it is huge! Great views and a jetted tub and 2 TV's and 2 toilets. Also got access to executive lounge as diamond. City suites are on the 42nd floorm. Great location and next to lots of malls especially for food. They stored my laksa in their fridge and provided a microwave on request. read more

Great hotel with the perfect location. Everything was fast to get to with a 15-30 min walk. If you are interested in heading to the opera house or the great restaurant area in The Rocks this hotel is fantastic. We were given an upgrade which was nice but still found the room to be small. There's a executive lounge but come early! Tables were hard to come by as was the food options. It starts at 6:30 we arrived at 6:15 and everyone was eating already and tables difficult to get. They had great shrimp options by 6:45 no more shrimp and other food options were given. My suggestion is go earlier! As diamond breakfast is complimentary as well and man breakfast was amazing!!!!!!!!! Soooo many delicious options!!!! The best breakfast I've had at any Hilton with a great view at that! read more

This is a very nice hotel in a convenient location. There is a grocery store (Woolworth's) and train stop less than a block from the hotel. Circular Quay was only 2 stops away. I'm Hilton Gold and was upgraded to the Executive Lounge. Yay! The rooms are nice, but relatively basic. I also stayed here 9 years ago and the room looked exactly the same (although not worn, so I'm sure they've refreshed it). My room also had a great view. The lounge serves a continental breakfast, afternoon scones and tea, and evening canapés and alcohol. On some days, that's all I had to eat all day and it was fine. There were so many friendly people working in the lounge. They do check people in when they walk in, so don't try to sneak in any guests :). I'd very much recommend the Hilton, especially if you get lounge access. read more

How can you be a 5 star hotel and not have a cafe or anywhere open at 1pm Sunday. Absolutely unheard of with a 5 star rating.

Absolute top hotel. Excellent service, clean rooms. The staff helped me retrieve lost documents after my stay and went above and beyond to help me. read more

I checked in with no line on a Monday about 5PM which was good. As a diamond member, the guy spent quite a bit of time explaining I could be upgraded to the relaxation spa room for an extra $260/night. In the states, the hotel would have just upgraded me. So much for being a Hilton diamond member! The location of the hotel is excellent. You are right in the heart of the city, and since I was only staying a couple of nights, it worked out. There is a stop for the hop-on-hop-off tour a couple of blocks away from the St James station nearby. An uber to the opera house only takes about 15 minutes if that in no traffic. I will say though Pitt street is the pits for traffic since the next street over is closed for the light rail. It may be better to walk to the end of the intersection or even force uber to pick you up at the hotel door (rather than on the street) in order to drive onto a street with no traffic. That is, if the uber driver can even turn into the hotel due to pedestrian traffic. I booked an executive king bed room, and it was pretty small. The bathroom is so small that you cannot open the shower door and still easily reach the sink, e.g. turning on the water to warm up while brushing your teeth. The drain is located under the shower stall door, which is odd to me. This means water gets all over the bathroom essentially because it splatters when taking a shower. Trying to lay down the bath mat in a dry spot is difficult in such a cramped space. For this, I give 3 stars. The executive lounge prevents me from docking another star. There are lots of choices for non-alcoholic beverages, more than you can imagine, for breakfast. Each morning there are eggs, sausage, potatoes, lox (no bagels or cream cheese though), fresh fruit (ate a couple of kiwis each morning), cereals, pastries, breads, etc. The food was pretty familar, as per standard executive lounge food. I think overall my stay was alright. Diamond members receive 2 free bottles of water each night of stay. Too bad there is not a fridge to put the water in, since the fridge is full of mini bar drinks and snacks. Oh well, at least I was able to stay for cash + 60,000 points for two nights!

This is a nice Hilton, with an excellent location. It's easy to find, very close to Town Hall station. The shopping nearby is great and tram right outside the door. My room was comfortable with great shower, comfortable furnishings and good quality linen. Restaurant is also great - for breakfast and dinner. I would come here again. read more

This hotel is 5 stars with 2 star pricing. It's awesome. The service is incredible. The location is also incredible The gym is the best gym at any hotel I have been at in the world. The concierge is wonderful. The continental buffet is the best continental buffet I have seen. The full buffet is also exceptional. I am staying for the the next 8 days. I am absolutely glad I picked this hotel. Anything I have needed they have accommodated immediately. The house keeping team is exceptional & they do a tremendous job cleaning your room. This hotel is outstanding from top to bottom! read more

I recently stayed at this hotel and was blown away by the stunning architecture and elegant decor. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure my stay was perfect. The hotel's location in the heart of the city also made it easy to explore all the nearby attractions. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a sophisticated and stylish stay. Link here for Booking :- https://www.trip.com/w/aMACK88rJN1 read more

Great Location, outstanding service, wonderful food, and outrageous buffets. Need I say more? As a Diamond member, you get one of the best breakfast buffets around. You also get afternoon tea, and an evening cocktail hour with food that basically replaces dinner. There were so many people in the executive lounge that use the evening buffet as dinner. For example they offer chicken skewers, gyozas, three kinds of salads, cheese and charcuterie plate, mixed drinks and wine, soft drinks and different types of water. It's located in the Central Business District which is near the train station, bus station and tons of shopping and eating. It is a short 10 to 15 minute walk to Circular Quay and the Sydney opera House, and about a 10 minute walk to the ferry which takes you to Toranga Zoo and a very nice ride to the Sydney opera House. This is probably one of my favorite hotels in the whole world now. The rooms are also very nicely laid out, with amazing comfortable bed and a pillow menu. They also have a rain shower in the bathroom and a great jet tub. You're going to love it here! read more

The Hilton Sydney pretty much sets the standard in terms of customer service, hospitality and knowing how to make a guest feel welcome. As a diamond member, the hotel recognized our status and put us up on the 43rd floor which is the highest level at the hotel. The only knock is that the rooms are a little small but comparable to standard New York sized rooms. Waking up the next morning, we had buffet breakfast at the restaurant. Service was excellent, wide variety of food options and a small section of Asian fare. At this point, we realized us being on vacation this is a very centralized business hotel and everyone was dressed to a T in 3 piece suites. We paused for just a second and thought, oh what the hell. We're on holiday, who cares! We also dropped into the executive lounge in the morning for some coffee. Staff was more than accommodating and treated us very well. read more

It makes me feel all grown up and fancy pants having a coffee meeting at the Hilton Hotel. Look mum, I'm a real businessman! What's that? Oh. There's tomato sauce on my tie. Quick, get the sponge. You kind of figure, at least I did, that a place like this must surely have free wi-fi. And it does, it appears, although only for guests that are staying there, unless I missed something and wasn't able to figure out how to log on. I was in Vietnam last month and man, every banh mi shack and coffee shop had free wi-fi, and they've never even heard of Paris Hilton, let alone Conrad. Pull up a table - the ones on the landing have the best, lofty views - and table service takes care of the rest. Drinks are 50c to $1 more expenno than you'd pay elsewhere, but hey, it's the Hilton, and you've put on your best pair of shoes to come here. read more

My hotel stay was absolutely perfect. The location is perfect, 1/2 a block away from the Town Center train station, a block away from the Sydney Tower and huge shopping mall, and a 10 minute walk to either Sydney Harbor and the Opera House, or to Darling Harbor. The hotel has a great Executive Lounge on the 36th floor, that serves breakfast, lunch snacks and evening cocktails - all free of charge to Gold and Diamond members. The staff was the most polite of any place I have been to. Everyone was ready to help and always called me sir (I know, a bit formal, but very nice). They have a spectacular "prohibition bar" downstairs (Marble Bar), and bar and coffee counter in the lobby, and other restaurants and bar on other floors (3rd/4th). I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Sydney! read more

Hilton Sydney - The lobby isn't a bad place for great champagne. - Hotels Near Me - Sydney, NSW

After all these years, the Hilton is still looking modern and offers the key business traveller requirements - easy city access, fast wifi, in room desks and good bathroom amenities. The service on check in was friendly and very helpful. I arrived well beyond the normal 2pm check in and was offered immediate check in if I upgraded my room for an extra $24. This was perfect and meant I could get some work done at the well equipped in-room desk before heading off for meetings The bathtubs are fantastic - deep and perfect for wallowing around in after a long day. The black out curtains in the room ensure coffin-like darkness, but mind the strong aircon as it will dry you out if left on full blast all night. The beds boast plush bed linen, but why oh why do they try and pass off two single beds pushed together as a "King". This isn't conducive for star-fish sleeping arrangements and if are sharing the bed, then one of you always ends up in the uncomfortable hap in the middle. The Hilton scrapes in at four starts as it's perfectly located and while they miss the mark on some things, the major things like a quiet nights sleep and helpful staff mean it should be considered for a quick business trip to Sydney. read more

The hotel is very centrally located. The staff are very efficient and helpful. The rooms are a bit small but comfortable and well equipped.

I would recommend the hotel as good CBD hotel. read more

For price of room it was just ok, definitely expected more in the details. Romance package was missing an item, tv remote need new batteries and staff were just there. Great location if you're looking to shop or want to hop on ferry or train. Breakfast buffet view and food options was the saving grace of our stay for sure read more

Some of the front desk is nice, but not all. Room was nice but TV wasn't working (engineer fixed it and was very friendly) and the fridge had no space for my own items around all the overpriced drinks. Concierge gentlemen were very nice and helpful. I'm giving it a 3 (would be 3.5) because for such a high end hotel there cancellation policy is unforgiving. I called approx 4 days and 8 hours prior to the 5 day cancel policy and they wouldn't honor it. I won't be using this hotel again simply because of that and that overall the service wasn't worth the cost. I realize I knew the policy and didn't meet it but I need a more flexible hotel. read more

We stayed at this Hilton from 27/01 to 01/02, this was our first time stay with Hiltons but also our lil baby Aidan's first hotel stay (he was only about 3 months old). From the time we arrived the bellman greeted us and help us with our luggage to checked in and had our bags delivered to the room took maybe 15-20 mins which was really good. When we arrived we also got the upgrade to executive deluxe room on the top floor (43rd) with access to executive launch. The executive launch offered breakfast, afternoon tea and evening canopies. The staff are very friendly and helpful. On the check out day my husband had to work until 5pm, the staff extended a late check out until 12pm and allowed me to used the executive launch to feed the baby. The room was very comfortable and food lay out but it was a bee small room. Having said that, it's right in the heart of Sydney it's hard to expect a spaces room. Thank you for making our stay; especially Aidan's first stay a much enjoyable and rememable one. read more

I am not a Platinum member of the Hilton brand but I have to be honest with myself, this hotel was the most amazing experience from checking in to out a pleasure and relaxing experience. The staff is amazing from desk to lounge( was a guest of a friend) they are amazing experts of customer service and give you an excellent quality of service you can't imagine. The food variety and choices at breakfast are fantastic fresh and tasty, the staff very amazing. The lounge much smaller choices but the staff was excellent, very nice spirits offered not just beer during happy hour and bar tender. Decor very modern and clean area full of shops and short walk to beach and trains. read more

I stayed here for 1 week on business in June 2014. This hotel was grandiose. I was on the top floor with views of the Sydney Tower Eye. Since i'm a gold hhonors member, I had access to the executive lounge. Every night they had beers, wines, spirits, and snacks. Although the snacks became more like dinner for someone of my size. Breakfast was also great with eggs, cheese, juice, coffee, toast, meats, etc... My room was incredible. There was a hand written note welcoming me to the hotel, which I appreciated. Everything was more than comfortable here. The location of this hotel was great, I could walk to just about everywhere in CBD, and cab anywhere I couldn't. In June, the cost was about $199/night which is a steal in my opinion. I can't wait to come back here! read more

While the rooms are overall okay the hotel itself was pretty disappointing. As noted the rooms are fairly nice. The beds comfortable, the bathroom and shower excellent! The TV was a bit difficult to figure out the channels. Just watch out for the 20th floor - the only smoking floor. Doesn't smell good. The reception desk is sorely understaffed leading to long waits. They have a tool in the room called "Magic" Press the "magic" button on the phone and a live person comes on to assist you with your needs. Kinda cool. Though if you need something delivered to the room you may have to wait for it a bit. Breakfast here is expensive!!!! But unbelievable. So delicious. Pretty much anything you want can be found at the breakfast buffet, from omelettes to breakfast meats, cheeses, pastries, smoked salmon, fruit, dim sum, porridges, cereal and yogurt. Fitness center is excellent! Lots of equipment in in excellent condition. One of my big pet peeves is having an expensive hotel room and no internet access. Only pay for access in your room here. There is free connection in the lobby but even that does not function well. You still much use an access code and the site doesn't always work plus it's super slow. Great location! read more

This hotel is fabulous! It is next to QVB! The huge shopping mall with beautiful decor! Their beds are so comfy and the rooms are spacious! The breakfast buffet is the ultimate best at the Hilton! There's a bread & pastry bar that has these little doughnuts. They look like cute doughnuts with a light powdered sugar dusted on them. When I bit into this amazing little doughnut, it was so soft and the inner part was filled with gooey chocolate! I got right back out of my seat and went up to grab three more! It was that good with my latte! The chef that caught my eye was Filipino and was so nice! He cut a lemon for my nephew and suggested for him to try it with a food selection from the buffet line. The assortment of fruit juices are on a round counter and well displayed! Very nice decor in this beautiful restaurant and high ceilings everywhere you go in this hotel! A beautiful masterpiece in Sydney! I can't wait to stay in the beautiful hotel again when we visit! Lovely indeed! read more

I stayed at this hotel for a conference held on site and I must say I could not fault the service or the room. The rooms are modern and well appointed, automatic mini bars, new iron, some cable channels on the TV, and plenty of natural light. The windows have mechanical shutters which block out virtually all light so that you can sleep during the day if you desire (although it took me a little while to find the switch to operate these). Good comfortable bed, only discovered the pillow menu on the second night (would have helped the first night!). The bathrooms are modern with plenty of frosting and stone providing a clean and bright environment. Our shower head appeared to be broken though and would not change modes (shower/jet) but this was only minor. The cafe downstairs serves single origin coffee, and provides good service. I did not eat at the restaurant. Great central location right across from the QVB and minutes walk to Hyde Park and many Sydney sights. Free wi-fi would be good, but unlikely to occur in hotels. read more

Loved this hotel! Great location, beautiful hotel. Stayed on the 31st floor (which was actually kind of terrifying to ride the elevator up that far and that fast). The room was kind of small, but very updated and the toiletries were great. I also really enjoyed the black-out shades in the windows. Breakfast buffet is amazing. Not sure if it's worth the price, though. Ours was complimentary and we made sure to fill up. We had a vegetarian in my party and none of us had any issues finding food we liked on the buffet. I also liked the executive lounge and the options available there. Most of the staff was very friendly and helpful, but there were some that weren't as friendly. Overall, it was very hard to leave the Hilton when we left Sydney! read more

We stayed here for my sisters 16th birthday. It was intended to be a treat and spa day but it was kind of a disappointment. The staff didn't explain during the booking that a $100 dollar security needs to be payed for each night you stay. Of course this isn't a big deal if you're loaded but it was a treat that cost a $1,000.00 and I'm a middle class citizen at best. The room was ok. The Alysium spa was amazing though. Very lovely receptionist and great masseuse! read more

Pro: Lobby nice, gym is excellent, rooms are well laid out (if a little small) & the bathroom is really nice. Great location. Con: Internet. $30 per day!

We stayed her on our trip to Sydney. The location is perfect. it is centrally located where important shops and tourist buses are easily accessible. The inside of the room we stayed in was a moderate (read medium) size) and clean. The style was very modern. The bathrooms are small. The shower seemed too close to the toilet. I found that bothersome. Getting out of the shower I was always conscious to not bump into the toilet thus defeating the act of getting clean. The customer service as I remember it was good. The people were friendly. We had few interactions with the front desk. Our room was well cleaned and furnished with Peter Thomas Roth toiletries. I liked that. You can request a more feminine scent. I don't remember what they gave to me at that request but it was lovely. The view from the hotel was amazing. It is right near the statue of the Queen Victoria. It is in walking distance to what Aussies call "Wolly's" and N. Americans call "Woolworth". Yea, Woolworth is King in Australia. Who would have known? Near this hotel is an indoor mall or shopping center with a food court. Some stores had odd closing hours (like closing by 8 PM). I'm comparing this to restaurant hours in the United States. Maybe this is an Australian norm. I don't know. Hilton is a trusted brand. For the most part they've been pretty consistent. They aren't a franchise and there is a corporate office that I believe will care if you had a bad stay. This is unlike other hotels and motels that are independently owned and could give a rat's behind how your stay was with them. Once they get the money the joke is on you. With that said I would stay with them again in the U.S. and abroad. read more
