Dear Valued Guests Lazy Daze is absolutely one of the most creative hotel packages in the world and is unique to all 8 of Stamnford hotels. Nothing quite compares to having a Chef prepare a dinner for two in your room - among other treats. Quay to Indulge and Celebration are also very popular. The view from our Terrace Rooms... More

I have read some reviews and can understand this hotel is not for all, but we find it charming and quirky and very comfortable. It is not as large or slick as most 5 star hotels, but it does offer a touch of luxury the huge places do not. The rooms are larger than normal, the breakfast is fine and... More

This hotel could not be in a better location, but is not 5 star. There is a distinct lack of staff, had to wait almost half an hour for simple breakfast. One person on check out, with 100 plus rooms results in queues. Bedrooms are very comfortable and well appointed, which with the location could be a hotel I would... More

Our stay at Sir Stamford was for 4 nights and it was great. We had great proximity to the Opera House and the Botanic Gardens. The breakfast was delicious though it wasn't free with the room. We got a two for one special deal which helped with the pricey food. The bed was comfy and the room was very clean.... More

The location was perfect. Our room was large and bath was huge with a tub and a shower. It was quiet even though we were on the front.
