What a fantastic experince!! The whole great experince started when we were met by a friendly concerierge who took our bags from the car and the team who looked after our car unteil we needed it on our last day. Check in was fuss free and the room was ready even though it was before 12pm. Our room had a spectacular view and the room was clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable and the room dark to allow a great nigths sleep. The location was fantastic and close to everything. We will be back!!

We stayed over night and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and well presented. The bed and pillows were the best (really comfy) and the breakfast we had delivered to the room was plentiful and lovely with the view out towards the harbour bridge. We had a few drinks downstairs at the bar and found the staff there to be friendly and chatty, in particular Simon. The concierge recommended a restaurant nearby that served modern Australian cuisine. His tip was spot on- we ate dinner there and will be definately returning in the future. The valet staff also deserve a mention. They were all very professional and prompt in returning our car to us. The only downfall is very minor- Queing to check in took some time. Perhaps we just arrived at a very busy time???

The Marriott Circular Quay is well situated for touring Sydney, and for many business appointments. It is about 150 meters from the Circular Quay train station and ferry docks. The opera house is just another 250 meters beyond the ferries and a lovely botanical garden is also nearby. In the heart of downtown, all major services are available in a short walk: banks, restaurants, etc.

I stayed at the hotel twice about 3 days apart. Each time, my room was attractive on a high floor. One view was of the harbor bridge. The other overlooked the opera house.

The concierge lounge had a decent selection for both breakfast and after-work snacks (which you could make a dinner of if you didn't want to go out). The lounge itself was attractive with spectacular views in all directions. Several people attended to the lounge guests keeping it tidy and the food offerings replenished. It can get crowded at peak times. And lounge access comes at a premium -- unless you are a Marriott Gold or Platinum member.

Hotel location great, service really good, staff all helpful. Enjoyed breakfast, especially the cooked to order pancakes. Only downside was price, a bit too expensive
