Mercure Sydney

Mercure Sydney

8/10 Good
"Rooms are clean and well-maintained with everything you need. Checking in and out are all done digitally on kiosks, and there is a very friendly and helpful staff there to assist if you have trouble. Convenient location and secure parking. Couldn't give five stars because there was a peculiar smell all throughout the building (thankfully not in the rooms) and because the sofa bed mattress was too thin and uncomfortable. The main bed mattresses were great, though."

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely — I’d make it polished but still personal: I stayed at the Four Seasons during the Sydney Marathon, and the team truly went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I arrived at around 8am, and despite the early hour, they kindly arranged for me to freshen up and shower, which was hugely appreciated. The concierge service throughout my stay was exceptional, including helping me secure a reservation at a fantastic restaurant. Every interaction felt thoughtful, warm and genuinely attentive. The spectacular view was another highlight and made the stay even more memorable. From arrival to departure, the level of service was outstanding. I would absolutely choose to stay at the Four Seasons again on my next visit to Sydney."
