4-Star Hotels in New South Wales, Australia

My second stay at this hotel, and another great experience, except that the cleanliness of the room wasn’t as good as it was for mu first visit. Rooms are spacious with large comfortable beds. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and the location is outstanding, being right next to Central Station.

Location is only accessible by bus, train station is 15-20 minutes walk away. Do take note as transportation in Sydney is quite expensive. First glance of the room is that the bathroom isn't same as advertised which I didn't get the chic design bathroom just a normal ones, the room design as well, in reality the room is much darker and only bright white sleeping light which really not helping with the ambient lighting. Amenities are okay, shower, conditioning and shampoo are provided. Would recommend this hotel if you have a tight budget.

I recently stayed at Mercure Sydney and had a great experience. The location is absolutely perfect, especially for travelers, as it’s right beside Central Station, making it incredibly convenient to get around the city or catch a train to the airport. The price was also highly affordable, offering excellent value for such a central and accessible spot. The rooms were comfortable and had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. Overall, if you’re looking for convenience and affordability in Sydney, Mercure Sydney is a fantastic choice. I’d happily stay again!

I am staying for 5 nights here, the room is quite big, and has the separating door for bed, it has a pool and gym, breakfast cafe is next to the hotel What i considered this hotel is because their washing machine and dryer inside the bedroom. The minus are - this is old hotel, and for that price i guess i can get more facilities than here - the bed is very smallll ( smaller than queen size) - the lobby also very small ( but u can get free coffee in the lobby ) - smelly When u out from the lift, u can smell something that is like old and food idk whats that but it is so smelly. For Cleaning they always change the towel and helping us to throwing the trash.

The location of this hotel is excellent and you may walk to a lot of tourists’ spots from this hotel and you may save on your travel. The hotel is clean and newly renovated.

I have stayed twice at this Hotel and what I like most is the vibe. I stay at a lot of Hotels as I travel so much so love to compare what I like and what could be better. I opted for the cheapest room which is quite small. However they make up with the lack of space with innovative and quirky design. We stayed on the 8th floor which had an amazing view to the city that got better as the sun was setting. The restaurant, bar, lounge and games areas are all fantastic and so much fun. We even played some games with other guests which is a great way to meet people. Such a good vibe!! Will be back!

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The room had three single beds, which was perfect for our group, and the beds were really comfy. The room itself was a bit run down, but nothing too bad. The staff at reception were lovely and very helpful. The location was fantastic—close to everything we needed!

A bit of a hike from the railways station, but can always Uber. Lovely artsy business hotels with great views of city & particularly the airport.

Love it that its very near the Green Square train station that is close to central and airport, really awesome for solo travelers. Hotel room is clean. Used the kitchen to cook but I don't recommend anything frying over the pan as it causes the whole room to smell. There is a supermarket 300m from hotel, which is great. The library nearby the hotel is a nice place to chill as well. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Hotel is located a short walk away from Town Hall station, so it was really convenient to get to places. The hotel room was clean and spacious and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Check in and check out was really smooth and fast too. Their food ordered via room service was good too. The only thing I thought could be better was the variation of food served at the breakfast buffet. But anyway, I enjoyed my stay at ParkRoyal and will choose this hotel again next time! (:

When I booked two Deluxe Family Rooms at Furama Darling Harbour for a 6-day stay with family, I had high hopes for comfort, convenience, and a pleasant experience. Here’s how it went. Location: Convenient, but Parking Woes The location of Furama Darling Harbour is undoubtedly one of its highlights. Nestled within walking distance of numerous restaurants offering cuisines from all over the globe, it was a food lover's dream. Finding the hotel wasn’t a challenge either, thanks to clear signage and central placement. However, the parking situation? That’s another story. The hotel doesn’t have an on-site parking lot. Instead, we had to park about a five-minute walk away, which isn’t ideal when lugging bags or dealing with Sydney’s occasional drizzle. Plus, the cost added up—$244 AUD for six days. If parking convenience matters to you, it’s worth factoring this in. Cleanliness: Mixed Experiences Cleanliness was... average, to say the least. While the first day seemed fine, housekeeping didn’t exactly shine as the stay went on. On Day 2, we were surprised (and not in a good way) to find dirty towels left after the room was cleaned. Fast forward to Day 5, and we found toilet paper and stray hairs under the blanket after housekeeping had supposedly “refreshed” the space. Not exactly the five-star housekeeping you’d hope for. To be fair, we didn’t raise the issue with reception that evening—it was our last night, and we figured housekeeping staff would already be off-duty. But, as a guest, you shouldn’t have to weigh these options. Service: Quick and Friendly, But a Breakfast Mishap Service at Furama Darling Harbour was a bright spot overall. The staff were warm, responsive, and accommodating, whether it was resolving issues with the TV or bringing up extra towels. That said, we hit a snag with the included breakfast. Our booking clearly stated breakfast for four people per room, which should have covered eight of us across two rooms. Yet, when we went down, they claimed the booking only covered four breakfasts total. After some back-and-forth with both hotel staff and Trip’s customer service, the issue was resolved. But it wasn’t exactly a stress-free start to the day. Facilities: Functional, But Nothing Fancy The gym was basic but functional—a single machine covering major muscle groups, though no free weights were in sight. It’s fine if you’re just looking to get in a quick workout. The laundry room was handy, though a bit pricey: $5 AUD each to wash and dry, plus $3 AUD for detergent. Breakfast, while initially enjoyable, became repetitive after two days. A buffet should ideally offer more variety, but here the options changed only slightly. Updating the in-room TVs to include smart features wouldn’t hurt either; it felt like the tech was stuck in the past. Rooms: Spacious and Comfortable Now, for the standout feature—the rooms. They were impressively spacious, with plenty of room for our luggage and still enough space to move around comfortably. The beds? Absolute heaven. I slept like a rock every night, with no noise disturbances or distractions. The bathroom mirrored this sense of space, steering clear of that cramped, claustrophobic feeling that some hotels suffer from. It’s refreshing to stay somewhere that values comfort this much. Final Thoughts: Worth a Stay, Despite Flaws Would I recommend Furama Darling Harbour? Absolutely, especially for families. The spacious rooms, friendly service, and fantastic location make it a strong contender. Yes, cleanliness and parking could use improvement, but the positives—comfortable beds, quiet nights, and accommodating staff—outweigh the negatives. If you can overlook a few quirks and minor inconveniences, Furama offers a good home base for exploring Sydney. Just be ready for some parking acrobatics and keep an eye on those housekeeping details!

Great location. Very close to Chinatown where there's plenty of food options available even late at night. Paddy's market is just 5 mins away and CBD is about 15 mins walk. Friendly people in the front office. Very attentive. Awesome housekeepers. Always smiling and greeting customers.

Excellent location with easy access to public transport, supermarket, restaurants etc. Apartments are spacious. Our booking was for limited housekeeping service, but even so, the staff only tidied up once in our 8 night stay. No vacuuming or cleaning of bathroom floor, only change of towels, amenities and emptying of bins.

Good venue in heart of town. Easy access from rail and train, restaurants and supermarkets. Thank you for upgrading us to a family room! The only downside is the sockets are not well positioned for easy charging

My recent 7-day stay. While the location of the hotel is fantastic and made our trip convenient, there were some concerns regarding cleanliness that I feel need to be addressed. During our stay, my husband and I noticed that the cleanliness of the room, particularly the bedding, did not meet expectations. We were uncertain if the sheets were changed during our stay hence made a request at the front desk that our bedding needs to be changed. On several occasions, after returning to our room late in the evening, we found that the sheets were still dirty, which was quite disappointing. As guests on holiday, we expected a certain level of cleanliness, particularly with something as fundamental as bed linens. Unfortunately, we were too tired to address it with the front desk at the end of long days. We ended up sleeping on just one side of the bed. I believe that with a little more attention to detail in housekeeping, this could be an area for significant improvement. Cleanliness is one of the most basic expectations when staying at a hotel, and I hope this feedback helps ensure future guests do not encounter similar issues.

Love the service here, they are very accommodating and welcoming. Even recognised me from weeks before. Location is amazing, near to the CBD and walking distance to where you wanna go as a tourist.

I spent a night in Sydney to have some great food and entertainment and Mantra’s location did not disappoint! Right in the doorstep is George street’s bustling precinct with countless excellent restaurants and eats from all corners of Asia, movies, gaming centres and gorgeous China town. The room was great with a kitchen, bathtub and lounging area. WiFi was excellent and the bed was super comfortable if you like some good support. Highly recommended!

A bit of a hike from the railways station, but can always Uber. Lovely artsy business hotels with great views of city & particularly the airport.

Rydges Sydney Airport: A lifesaver!  Our family of three faced cancelled flights, but the hotel's kindness and amazing staff made a difficult situation much better.  Fair price for a much-needed stay.  Highly recommend!

The hotel is very close to the airport, so if you will be flying early the next morning, this is a very convenient choice of hotel. Breakfast was great, and you could order food straight from the counter if you're hungry late night. There is also a communal area where people can eat or do your own work if needed. Some walking distance from the closest Moscot station, which I don't think is really a problem.

Flying from Brisbane to Sydney, I stayed at the Travelodge for 1 night before catching an international flight the next morning. I arrived at T2 with time to spare before check in so walked to the Hotel. ( use the exit by baggage carousel 3 cross the road turn right and follow your nose, being 66yo I prefer to follow my nose than trust Google ) The walk takes 15-20 minutes. The rooms as expected were functional and clean. There is a bar in the lobby. There is also a bistro on the ground floor near the elevators which I only saw after returning with food that I had walked back to T2 to purchase something for dinner. The Travelodge is down a side street and therefore probably quieter than other Hotels, such as Quest, which are on the main road. Having the shuttle bus to the International Terminal ( $10 ) right next door is a big convenience. For the benefit of light sleepers the rooms on the left hand side of the Hotel are under a flight path, planes are easily heard, though there is a curfew ( as I understand it ) between 11pm and 6am at T2 and T3. Travelodge is comfortable and clean and I recommend for a stay near the airport.

It was great to stay in HolidayInn Mascot. Room service was spot on. Daily breakfast was on the par, staff was amazing g especially at the Cafe who was making g exceptional coffee. We enjoyed our stay.

Best cooking facilities Good view facing airport Quiet and clean High recommended...and freedom in out

It was a rather long distance to drag luggage with a child at 11 at night. It was nice to take the airport shuttle in the morning, but It was a shame because it was a long way to get in. The room was large and spacious, but the bathroom was too big and empty. It was a bit scary. Overall, it is clean and satisfactory.

The room was quaint, but everything about this hotel was decent. The bathroom was big enough, very clean, and has top-of-the-line sundries. It was very conveniently located just below the departures hall. Because of its size, there’s really not much to expect, but the cleanliness and service are superb. I did have one concerning experience when my room suddenly was filled with the smell of suffocating engine fumes, and I was woken up in the middle of the night. I have written a letter about it; I am waiting for the hotel’s response.
