Me and my husband stayed here at the end of March of this year. This hotel is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The best part about this hotel though is its location. You are within walking distance from the rocks region, the circular quay, the bridge, the observatory hill (which is a must see sunset spot)... More

Ok, I stayed here in October last year and if you read my review, it was outstanding. So disappointed this time. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. I was given early check in which was great. I was not offered turn down service and I was in a junior suite. $409.50 per night. My room had torn curtains... More

We were so delighted to experience that the Langham Hotel had not lost all the wonderful qualities of The Observatory Hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Langham Hotel and we will be staying there again this year. Congratulations to Management and all the Staff for providing such a divine place to stay. Thanking you.

We are Sydneysiders and chose The Langham for a 5 day escape recently. We decided against some of the corporate and tourist hotels, and chose the Langham for its charm and quiet location. Millers Point is a quiet part of the city, despite being only 5 minutes walk to either Walsh Bay (our favourite) or the Rocks. Circular Quay and... More

Now this is my kind of place! Fantastic location, right near the heart of Sydney, The Rocks, Darling Harbour and the CBD all within walking distance. The presentation of this hotel is outstanding and accentuates the historical features of the grand old building. The room was superbly presented with a bathroom that offered something for everyone, a huge big comfortable... More

The Langham Sydney (formerly the Observatory) is a great hotel. It is my favourite in Sydney and when I am staying on that side of town. Service is excellent, the rooms have wonderful old world charm. Great place.

Lovely spacious, well appointed rooms. Great pool / gym and spa facilities and reception / concierge were very helpful. It is a little way to walk to town but well worth it for the quiet. Our room even had a water view.This hotel exceeded my expectations.

The Langham is, by Sydney standards, a small hotel. However the service is big. Spending two days and two nights on business in the hotel meant most services could be tested, and they all passed with flying colors. Restaurant, bar, rooms and meeting facilities and staff were all 5-star. Rooms overlooking the harbour are preferred. The rooms are large, well-appointed... More
