I upgraded to the a room with a harbour view. The room was clean and comfortable. It was nice to have a view and window to look out over the harbour. The bed was comfortable and room size was good.

Location and the view from the rooftop area is unique.

Loved the rooftop. Unbelievable views for Vivid. And the spa was perfect for the winter weather. The staff were all very accomodating and kind. Sean at the front desk was extra helpful, as well as the man from the UK who checked us in was lovely :) and the location was great. In the middle of all the excitement !!

the location was amazing, so close to everything in Circular Quay

location for Vivid Sydney excellent. comfort of beds great, Room very small room for 3 people. Front desk staff wonderful, very helpful. Nice lobby bar and staff.

Great location- 10 minutes walk from Circular Quay and the rail and light rail. The Rocks is a fabulous location with lots of character. Close to the Opera House and ferries. Room was clean and had everything i needed. It was a little loud outside on a Saturday night- but its the Rocks! Staff were lovely and very helpful. The view of the harbour from the rooftop pool area was spectacular!

Checked in a little earlier as we had a lunch cruise booked. Brianna was fabulous and gave us a room right next to our friends. Bed very comfy, room clean and nice size. Bar staff Tristan and Anthony wonderful and great in making coffees and cocktails. Fabulous view of the city from the roof top pool Had a buffet breakfast and was great variety of breakfast food.

We had an amazing view of the Quay and the rooftop pool kept my kids very happy. I was really grateful for the early check in and late check out that made our stay even better and helped us make the most of Anzac Day Dawn Service and Parade with the ability to rest in between and not rush. Thank you.

Close to the city Lobby bar staff were friendly, even got an extra drink after closing time

Great hotel. Stayed several times over the years when it was Holiday Inn. Location is superb.
