Top Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific Hotel Reviews

Grand Hyatt Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Gym not available."

Hilton Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room. Friendly staff , breakfast place has a very good ambiance and looks very posh. The only thing that is off putting is that their pool and gym facilities open at 9 am on weekends, which is late and close at 6 pm , which I think is way too early. We were looking forward to using them just to find out that we won’t have enough time if we want to go out and about the city all day. Other than that, staying at the Hilton Sydney was a great experience. It is also well situated, it’s right across the Queen Victoria Building, close to the shopping district, the light rail station is literally right outside the hotel which pretty much can take you anywhere in the city circle."

Swissotel Sydney

8/10 Good

"The hotel is right in the heart of the shopping district in the CBD at Pitt street mall. Shopaholics this is the location for you. Across the road from the state theatre. Lots of taxis if you need one. Concierges were all very helpful. Tram stop is very close on George street. Quick tram ride to china town or the harbour. Room is very spacious. No mini bar. Water is replenished daily. Room has a bath and separate walk in shower. Nespresso machine but only three pods of coffee. Beds are comfortable with a proper quilt cover so no wrangling of the sheets. Room service was a little bit slow but they will bring up extra towels, ice, etc. breakfast buffet was very good. The cook to order omelettes excellent. Lots of variety on the buffet. The automated coffee was not so good. The state theatre across the road has very good coffee and also an original character building interior so well worth a look. Have a cocktail hour every day! Great stay see you next time!"
