Hotels Near Circular Quay in Sydney

Unique Beautiful Heritage building Superior classic interior design...somewhat tired shower water pressure but had superior stay..quiet,safe,great location to waterfront...would definately recommend and return..before it's converted to apartments!

Service was good and attentive. We arrived early in the morning and the reception offered to send me a whasapp once my room is ready and my bags were already in the room waiting. Location is close to circular Quey and a short walk to the opera house. Staff makes u feel very welcomed. I think they charged me AUD $20 for a bucket of ice which I asked for as their chiller in the minibar was not cold enough to chill my drinks, I only saw that on my credit card after I checked out, which was unexpected but well, I can’t be bothered to challenge as it was a nice stay anyways.

Fantastic and friendly staff! Great stay there (it was the first time). Just the bathrooms in the rooms are quite outdated (shower & floor).

My first review on Trip and I don't usually bother to write reviews - shows you how much the hotel impressed me. We stayed for 1 night in Capella Sydney as a family of 3. The hotel facilities were absolutely amazing, decor was gorgeous and food options at Aperture and Brasserie were awesome. However, I won't dwell on these too much as I'm sure when you booked into a Capella brand hotel, you will already assume this as a given right? One highlight in terms of facilities though, was The Living Room, which is assessible to all guests staying in the hotel. It had beverages, snacks, comfy sofas and 6 star service. We spent so much time there chilling with our son and in the end it really became ”our living room”. Enough of that, let me move on to the service which blew our minds. I'll give you a few examples and hopefully you can see why I feel it would be criminal for me not to write a review. 1. On arrival when we got out of our car and the porters were helping us with our luggage, somehow they addressed me by name. Maybe it's because they saw I had a 2 year old and I was the only guest checking in that day with a small child. Still, I was super impressed. I've only experienced this previously at Aman hotels. 2. Upon checking in, Sophie (I hope I got your name right!) was super helpful and cheerful. When she saw my young son, she also proactively asked if we needed a later check out and if our son needed to nap. She immediately offered to give us 2pm late check out. However, having told her our son actually takes his nap at 2pm, she told us to come back and check with the front desk the next day and they can extend it till 4pm. Remember, I didn't request this, she did this completely out of her own initiative. 3. We didn't book dinner and Sophie referred us to Madiha of the Cultural team. Madiha took note of all our requirements, including the need for the restaurant to be 2 year old friendly, and within 15 mins emailed me a full list of restaurants and their menus for me to choose from while she also served us drinks and snacks at the living room. We eventually picked an Italian restaurant and she made the reservation for us. Fyi, it was scrumptious. 4. After breakfast, we were walking around the lobby and my son walked past the cakeshop and saw a raspberry tart. He really wanted it but I told him we just had breakfast. Ton (?)(I hope I got your name right, the Thai gentleman with a love for cars), the manager came up and said ”you can have the tart for free! It's on the house!”. I was stunned. He also spent so much time talking to my son and showing him pictures of cars, unbelievable. Shout out also to Matthew (uncle Hao Jun) for being so warm and hospitable to us. Honestly we were feeling so sad leaving the hotel as everyone felt like friends and family to us. One thing is for sure though, we will be back. Absolutely flawless service, kudos to the Capella Sydney team!

A fantastic location with great views, a good and friendly staff, though this is a rather large property so there isn’t the same level of attentiveness or distinctiveness you might find at another FS hotel. The room was a bit small but otherwise well appointed. Good food in the restaurant, nice holiday decorations for Christmas. Overall I always enjoy staying here when in Sydney, most especially for the location.

The room at the hotel was spacious and offered enough room to comfortably settle in, which I appreciated. However, I couldn't help but notice that the facilities appeared a bit dated and could use some modern upgrades. Additionally, there was a noticeable odd smell in both the room and the hallways that was less than welcoming. While the stay was overall acceptable, these issues did detract from the experience.

I was so lucky to choose YHA Sydney harbour The Rock for my first trip in Sydney. The staff at the reception have a warm service attitude and always give a smile, which makes me feel friendly. It's very well located, just a few minutes' walk from Circular Quay, and it's easy to get anywhere by Train/Line/ferry. It is worth mentioning that the rooftop of the third floor has an excellent view, and you can lie on the chair at night, blowing the night breeze, and enjoy the most comfortable moment of the day. The only drawback I would say is that the room is a little small, and the roommate who occasionally came back late may affect other‘s sleep.

The hotel is easily accessible from the train station (as it is a slight downhill). The staff, from being met with a wide smile by the concierge to the check-in staff, are friendly, professional and just a joy to interact with. The rooms are well appointed, bathrooms absolutely spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is good, but very few Asian options available. It should be noted that Google maps is not truthful about the fact this part of Sydney is ”mostly flat”... so walking shoes are a MUST as the hotel is so very close to a number of wonderful places to see, explore and enjoy a meal.

No water bottles, only for premium members, tiny king bed room, unbranded coffee and tea sachets not worthy of a 5 star hotel. Couldn’t sleep because of the cars noise even though we were on the on the 9th floor. To be honest not worth the money.

Stay for 4 days and let cleaning cost 25 knives. Free for 7 days. Later I used my own mattress. Check out the next day. So no more cleaning. Dozens of knives an hour in Australia, considerate. Great location, quiet and comfortable. Public toilets and bathrooms are clean and tidy. There are dryers, washing machines, 2 knives into coins at a time. The large refrigerator refrigerates its own things, and the kitchen supplies are all in it. You can make and buy food yourself. Toothpaste slippers come with a small towel. Live next time. Within 90 nights, great value. The front desk staff can speak Cantonese or Mandarin. There is no elevator and the big luggage moves by itself. There are several toilets, bathrooms, shared, all in one Lou. Careful choice of going to the bathroom at night.
