Our family (2 adults and 2 children) just stayed at The Observatory Hotel in Sydney and had a wonderful stay. The hotel is well located in "The Rocks" area of Sydney. The rooms we stayed in were well appointed and spacious. The many hotel staff were consistently nice and helpful at all times of the day and more importantly, very... more

My husband and I loved our cozy comfortable and very spacious room in this beautiful old building. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully served. Best of al was the service, especially by the concierge staff, led by Michael Anderson. They were friendly, knowledgeable and always helpful. more

My wife and I stayed at the Observatory hotel in July. I certainly have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to those looking for a very comfortable place to stay in Sydney. The location is convenient and within easy walking distance of the centre of the city and the Rocks. We found the staff to be extremely helpful at all... more

This was a lovely place to stay, within walking distance of The Rocks district and the weekend market, within walking distance to the Queen Victoria bld. and great shopping. It had been recommended to us by good friends who visit top accommodation spots regularly. It was quiet, beautifully appointed in an old world Engish charm way, we had a jnior... more

Not the best of locations, but the hotel's charm more than makes up for this.... Genuinely pleasant staff welcome you like you are royalty - and everyone deserves that treatment.

This is one place I have wanted to stay since living literally next door to it 10 years ago, but being a local, it's been very hard to justify until I had a very early flight to catch the next day so it seemed just as good as an airport hotel. It's located in a very odd part of Sydney,... more

We moved to this hotel after 2 awful nights in a serviced apartment in McMahons Point. Sydney was busy at the time and it took us a while to find last minute accomodation...a junior suite at the Observatory was pretty much all we could find, and while quite expensive, was worth every penny! The hotel itself is just beautiful with... more

It had been several years between visits, but we found The Observatory Hotel as lovely as ever. The service was highly personal and helpful, and our wedding anniversary was very thoughtfully acknowledged. When booking we were worried, as some reviews have suggested that the hotel is 'tired'. This was not our experience at all. It is certainly not a modern... more

We changed to this hotel whilst in a lounge awaiting to fly to Sydney. We asked for a car to collect us but on arrival to Sydney there was not one there. I called and went through 3 people before I got told there was not one coming. I was annoyed as the queue for cabs was long. At the... more
