The hotel has a stunning location near Circular Quay, with spacious and comfortable rooms. The bar was a let-down, but the New Year's Eve atmosphere was fantastic. Breakfast was delicious, and valet parking was convenient and cheaper than other options, though the parking process can be tricky.

The IHG Sydney hotel provided a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit dated, which was disappointing given the price paid for the stay. However, the service was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for exploring Sydney attractions but didn't offer the best value for money. The dining was average for a 5-star hotel, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel offers spacious and luxurious rooms with added amenities, but the direct view of the construction site may disrupt the experience. The service is exceptional, creating a wonderful stay, although communication issues may arise during unfortunate incidents. The location is perfect for exploring Sydney with convenient access to transport and attractions, yet the inability to access the rooftop bar without booking is a downside. The dining experience is fantastic with a wide variety of options, although some may find it pricey. Overall, a mixed experience with notable positives and negatives.

The hotel provides perfectly quiet conditions for peaceful sleep, but the rooms, though tired for a 5-star standard, allow a relaxing stay. The service, trained in old-school efficiency, ensures memorable celebrations with extra treats. The location offers friendly assistance, though the lack of ambience is noted. The dining, while not outstanding, is good for a meal near the heart of Sydney.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, providing a nice view and tasty breakfast, feeling spacious for my family of 3 children. The staff were very good at communication, always friendly, polite, and respectful. The location was central, offering easy access to transportation and key attractions in Sydney, with great views of the harbor. The dining experience was good, especially the juicer, but lacked a cooking station. Overall, a great spot with friendly service and a convenient location.

The hotel offers a mix of great and not-so-great features. It provides very tiny rooms with a spacious layout and excellent views of the Botanical Gardens and East Harbor. While the service is top-notch with great communication and warm staff, some aspects weren't as helpful as expected. The location is outstanding for sightseeing, placing you within walking distance of Sydney's key attractions. The dining experience was a bit average, and the facilities were well-equipped.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was superb, close to Sydney's beautiful Botanic Gardens and convenient for nightlife and shopping. The rooms, however, were small, dated, and in poor condition. The service was welcoming but lacked follow-up on issues, and the dining experience, although exceptional in terms of food quality, had some timing and seating issues. The facilities overall were decent.
