“Stay here if you are on budget”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

I chose this hotel because the hotel is near my company and the hotel provides free shuttle service. If you are looking for night life and more activities, then you should choose a hotel near Sydney center. The room is quite average but it's clean and comfortable. Moving from lobby to my room is quite cumbersome as there is no lift and I have to walk past the hotel restaurant on my way, with me lugging around my luggage and climbing the stairs. Stay here if you are on budget. Overall quite good value for money. And the staffs are friendly and helpful.

“I stay for location, not amenities - over priced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

In 2011 I stayed her for probably 25 nights as my companies HQ is located very, very close, a 5 minutes walk away. To be honest the hotel is dated and needs some time and money invested to get it up to a decent level again, which I feel they can do because they charge like a wounded bull!!! In saying that the actual staff are very courteous and friendly, the breakfast chefs always remember me and how I like my omelette and are up for a bit of a chat.
Every bathroom of every room I stayed in needs a paint job and some cosmetic repairs, but these paper mainly superficial and I have had no need to request a change of room.
On 2 occasions last year I checked in late and was given a room with 2 single beds - I was NOT happy yet was unable to be moved as they were at capacity. Being at capacity happens often as large tour companies coach in for 1 or 2 nights putting a strain on staffing and amenities.
To summarise this is comfortable but not grand, the group of people I travel to Sydney with for meeting are starting to look for last minute discounted accommodation in the city where we get 5 star central city accommodation for a cheaper rate.

Room Tip: Definitely request a room near the lobby with a king / queen bed as the furtherest rooms are miles a...

Dear KiwiTrig,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Stamford Grand North Ryde. It is very refreshing to receive such constructive feedback on the areas in which we are in need of improvement and the areas in which we are doing well with.

Our dedicated maintenance team are constantly working on refurbishing areas in the hotel that are in need of light attention, however we do value your points and they have been noted with many thanks.

I will personally relay your kind comments to our kitchen breakfast staff, as I too agree that the team go above and beyond to ensure our patrons are being looked after. Our chefs do make the effort of adding those small extra touches like remembering our regular guests special orders such as a fresh bircher muesli or a lovely breakfast omelette (which are usually available upon request).

We acknowledge and value your feedback and do hope you will afford us the opportunity of creating a better impression in the future.

Sincere regards,

Guy Challis

“Comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We stayed one night recently, in a premier room with a view over the road. Our room was a long way from reception and the restaurant, but that also means it was quiet. The room was quite spacious and well furnished, spa bath in the bathroom. There was a small kitchenette in our room, but no cooking/heating facilities. Some areas of the hotel seem a bit tired, and a couple of times we walked down the hall it smelt a bit stale / mouldy, like there had been a water leakage problem. The "secure" under cover car park was not very secure as the door was lying on the ground. This hotel is close to a large shopping centre and is in a good position.

“Passing through”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

Stayed for one night with my husband, 11yr son on a Sunday night as a stop off to driving north. We booked a Deluxe Suite with a fold-away bed for our son that fitted fine in the office area of the room (note that there is a skylight in this setion of the room and my son did wake early as it was very bright in his area). On arrival we noticed the floor of our room outside the bathroom was wet, there must have been a leak from the shower from previous guests. Beds were very comfy and had a quiet nights sleep.
My son loved the pool, which was the hotels best feature. However, the rest of the complex is looking very tired and dated.

Room Tip: Would recommend on booking a Deluxe room, location better and away from noisy bar/restaurant area.

Dear AuroraBrks,

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay at the Stamford Grand North Ryde.

I am pleased to read you and your son enjoyed your stay and you were able to enjoy a swim in our fantastic pool.

To add to your useful suggestion, a great room tip for a more serene surrounding is to request one of our luxurious deluxe suites when booking your room. These suites are situated overlooking our spectacular lagoon and swimming pool and are each equipped with large balconies which allow you to really appreciate the tranquil but magnificent view.

If you contact our reservations team on reservations@snr.stamford.com.au or (02) 9886 3611 when you make your next reservation, please do share your requirements and any special requests as we will be sure to accommodate them.

We look forward to welcoming you back to The Stamford Grand North Ryde in the near future.

Sincerely

“Not Happy”

person found this review helpful

*The room we had , had a large water leak on the ceiling. The leak was brown and it smelt. I had phone the cleaners as there were all finger marks smudges all over the sliding door. Housekeeping arrived promptly but buzzed and then opened the door and entered the room!. I informed and showed housekeeping the leak. They said they wuld inform the manager. 2 hours later nothing. We went for a walk and then I went to reception and told them. They said they would contact the manager and phone me.....but nothing! I went to checkout the next dayand I refused to pay full price. After complaining I only received a $45 dollar discount for a smelly room and other peoples hairs in the bathroom! They only care about your credit card details! The reception girl was polite at checkout but said "It was probadly a toilet leaking".
*Very noisy. The music from the hall very loud
*Pools-Dirty, musty (smell), mouldy and there is an old CPR sign from 1992!
*No foxtel. TV controls are hard to use if you want to switch channels
*Needs a refurbishment. Stains on walls
*If the place was refurbed, pools were clean, outside was cleaned it would be a great place!

Dear Fredette_12,

Thank you for taking the time to write an online review on the Stamford Grand North Ryde.

Many of our rooms in the Epping Wing of our hotel feature skylights to enhance the span of natural lighting. Unfortunately the skylight in the room you occupied was carrying a build up of rain water which had accumulated over the Christmas and New Years period. I would like to sincerely apologise for this maintenance issue, and gladly inform you that the leak has since been repaired.

We acknowledge and value your feedback and do hope you afford us the opportunity of creating a better impression in the future.

Sincere regards,
