Sydney Hotels with Bars

I frequently stay in hotels in Sydney, and this has been the worst experience. First, I booked a twin room, but when I arrived at 5 p.m., they gave me a double room. When I went downstairs to request a change, they said I had to wait. After complaining, they finally gave me a twin room, but it was the smallest twin bed I’ve ever seen in all the hotels I’ve stayed at in Sydney. The next morning, when I left, I forgot to take a T-shirt that was hanging in the wardrobe. I called the hotel the same day to ask about it and was told to wait. After waiting for a whole day, I called again, and the security team said they couldn’t find it from their database. How ridiculous it is! Overall, I will never stay at this hotel again!

Beware if you book more than 2 people into one bedroom. I booked a premium king room for 3 people, prepaid in full and arrived late at night off a long flight at the hotel to find just one bed-no sofa bed or rollaway in the room. The night manager advised it was an extra $70 per night for an extra bed for my daughter - that although my reservation for 3 people was correct, it did not include beds for 3 people and that we would all have to sleep in one bed. I disputed this with the night manager, who acknowledged how unreasonable and misleading this was but could not do more than reduce the cost of an extra bed in my room to $150 for a three night stay. Clearly unacceptable and yet I had no option but to pay up. I greatly resent this type of underhand behaviour and hope this acts as both a warning for others and a wake up call for the hotel. Shame on you.

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!

Stayed in a heritage room for the third time over the last 15 years and the rooms are showing there age. Also maintance is lacking. 8 inch crack in basin, a builder has written 20/07/20 behind glass in toilet , presumably before it was completed for the Olympics. Door hardware loose and crooked. General appearance just above shabby. No a/c in foyer during the two night stay, meaning enjoying a drink was a sweaty affair. Broken awning about breakfast restaurant. Looks shabby now.  No one I say appears to do any cleaning.  Disappointed for what is supposed to be five star and cost $492 per night. Can’t justify going again.

We loved the location as it was close to everything. We had an amazing view of the harbour. We also got lucky when they had a fireworks display at the harbour, we had the perfect room for it. Happy that we were assigned to a high floor. The construction was a bit of an eyesore but we still enjoyed our stay.

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.

Excellent location. It's right at the centre. The entrance is quite hard to spot as It's above a bar. it's quite spacious inside the capsule. However, you can still hear the surrounding sound. If you have a lot of luggage with you, It's better to book a hotel.

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

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.

Excellent service, great breakfast, immaculately clean. Furniture was bit worn down but everything else was perfect.
