Intercontinental Hotel & Resorts-boenden i Sydney

On the plus side: we upgraded ourselves to a village suite and the size was spacious. Breakfast was fabulous and something to look forward to, although 7am start is a bit late for us.. Most of the staff were lovely and well trained. Room was cosy and quiet at night. Fresh towels and clean bathroom. Easy and convenient location outside of CBD. This is the only big hotel in the area and there are some great restaurants nearby - Carmela, Margaret, Bill’s etc. usefully close to Chemist Warehouse for essentials you’ve forgotten. On the negative: It should be classed as 4* - quite cheaply constructed and maintained. Not what you might consider to be luxury. Rooms are dark,  with poorly thought out lighting; the carpet rarely vacuumed (if at all) during our five night stay. Hand held shower head spray nozzles were blocked, bathtub drain was also blocked. Sinks not very clean. Windows in room and dining room very dirty. Big construction site adjacent so we moved rooms to get away from the noise and view of the cranes. Overpriced hotel offering when you consider we could have booked the Capella in CBD at nearly the same rate as our suite, but nice to be away from the city.

Conveniently located in the heart of the CBD, near Circular Quay, it was easy to access the key attractions like the Sydney Opera House. The rooftop bar, Aster, also provided fantastic views of the Harbour Bridge. The main draw of this hotel for us was its own indoor carpark as we were renting a car. Valet parking is $89 AUD a night (as of Aug 2025) and there is no option to self-park, but you can enter and exit the carpark as many times as you want. Pricey but generally consistent with the other carpark options in this area. Our room size was pretty big for 2 persons and the room was generally well maintained. We encountered some issues with inconsistent housekeeping e.g. used cups not being replaced, towels not being replaced, but they were generally minor and often quickly rectified after a call to reception. Would recommend if you would like to stay in this part of Sydney.

The location is perfect to go anywhere, beach, pub, restaurant, located in quiet street but close to everything, that is perfect for family. We will back again!
