“Great hotel in a great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

This hotel has just become my favourite place to stay in Sydney. The hotel is a genuine 5 star establishment but doesn't charge the exorbitant rates demanded by some of the bigger chain hotels in Sydney. Whilst it has all of the features of a five star hotel its staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and provide enough room and the location only two minutes walk from Circular Quay means that you are never far from a good restaurant or a great view of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. The breakfast at $29/$39 was a little on the expensive side but this is somewhat compensated by the reasonable cost of the rooms. In my view it's hard to go wrong here.

“Wow !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

The hotel room is one of the best,most luxurious (for the price) I have ever stayed in. The size of the bathroom was equal to the room size and had a separate bathroom and bathtub.
The location is bang in downtown,just 2 mins walk to George street or a 5 min walk to the quay.
The room has all the amenities one can think of. Best of all they have free WiFi which is always good. The bed was very comfortable and soft. The staff is helpful and a friendly bunch.
Definitely recommend, We would definitely stay there again.

“Good Location, Good Accommodation, and Good Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

This hotel is ideally located near the Rocks (great restaurants and bars) and is near lots of shopping. The room was nice and the Wifi worked great. All of the people from the bell men, to housekeeping, to the gentlemen at the front desk were extremely helpful and courteous. Actually I found the management extremely helpful because we were delayed an extra day in Sydney because volcano ash had shut down the airport; the manager went out of his way to find us a room at the hotel even though they were fully booked. The concierge also gave us some great suggestions for eating. If you have the budget I'd recommend the Quay and Wildfire for dinner, the Belgium Beer Cafe for drinks, and the Argyle for really great Spanish tapas.

“Well situated hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The hotel is ideal if you are coming from the airport and get the train to Wynyard - it is literally 5 mins walk from the station, which is also on George St. The hotel itself is nice - what you would expect for Radisson, with good sized rooms and great services, such as the business centre, gym etc. We were unfortunate that we were on the 1st floor, so outside was slightly noisy, and we didnt have much luck with our neighbours, who were very noisy on the 1st night too! There was also an issue with the hotel which I won't go into as it is unnecessary - it was rectified effectively by the staff.

Overall, worth a look into if staying in Sydney.

Room Tip: Try and get a room high up

Radiss0nBluH0tel, General Manager at Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney, responded to this review
14 February 2012
Dear Jmcd31,

Thank you for taking the time to provide valuable feedback regarding your stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel Sydney.

I was concerned to learn of the issue you experienced with noise coming from a neighbouring room. I have requested that the Duty Manager and Security teams to increase the frequency of their floor inspections to ensure that noise and other disturbances from other guests and surrounding rooms are limited as we want our guests to have an enjoyable stay. For any future stays, please do not hesitate to ask our reception team if you wish to stay on a higher floor so that this can be arranged. I apologise for any disruption this may have caused.

Jmcd31, this aside we hope to welcome you back to Radisson Blu in the near future.

Sincerely,

Peter Tudehope
General Manager
Radisson Blu Hotel Sydney

“Excellent service after an accident”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

I got hit by a car in Sydney while staying in this hotel. After I got out of hospital I spent a couple of more nights there. Personnel heard about the incident and took great care of me! I was traveling alone and they helped me out a lot. Helped me sell my car, get paper work sorted and helped me to get around in Sydney!! They did more than they actually had to do and I was really impressed! I would always go back to this hotel!!!!

The concierge is the best and I had a really good time! This hotel is worth your money!
