We booked a one-night stay online as part of a Holiday Inn sale - the rate was very low ($99) and we assumed we would be put in the worst room in the place (as many hotels tend to do). We were amazed when we were handed the keys for an 8th floor room, and when we opened the window... more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn during the week of Sept. 20th (the week of the big dust storm). The room was a nice basic room in a super location. It was just what I wanted for my trip to Sydney; a very affordable room to sleep in after touring the city all day. The views from the roof were... more

We stayed at the hotel for one night on a weekend trip to the city, and found the Holiday Inn Old Sydney to be a very good choice. It is close to all the attractions, and the Rocks Markets are right outside the hotel. It is a short walk down to the water, where there are good views of the... more

the room was very little and it was sold as a superior room, the bed was little too, the service... bah. We didn't like this hotel very much but it definitively is in a good position for visiting the historic district of the town, close to Opera House and city centre. more

My partner & i went stayed here for 6 nights in early September and were very impressed with everything about the hotel & its location. The main attraction is the roof top pool. It has outstanding views of the Harbour Bridge & the Opera House. We watched the sunrise every morning which was magnificent, and also the view of the... more

This hotel is in a great location for day and evening sightseeing and restaurants BUT beware there are many night clubs nearby AND the famous "rocks Markets" are at the door. That sounds great but the night club and street noise didnt stop until 3am THEN the council and stall holders set up for the markets from 3am onwards. No... more

Just got back from Sydney and stayed at the old Holiday inn for 6 nights. Don't know what the other reviewer was talking about maybe they were in a bad room but we had no problems whatsoever with noises! the location is excellent so close to the opera house and circular quay so easy access to the public transport. Bit... more

Stayed there for 6 nights and the hotel was certainly not noisy though I'd agree the area was a lot livelier at the weekend. Situated in the heart of The Rocks which must be the best place to stay in Sydney. Admittedly you have to go to the rooftop pool to get the view but far better than the other... more

Then don't stay here, the noise from the local pubs/clubs goes on until 3am, single glazed windows. Then with markets start to set up at 5am. Great location, hotel looks like a prison on the inside, but you would get more sleep in a prison more
