“Well situated hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
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

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

“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!

“Beautiful hotel fab location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Beautiful hotel in a great location just a few minutes walk from the main city and maybe 15 mins to Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. Reception staff extremely helpful as were the restaurant staff. Our room was large and very well equipped with a beautiful bathroom. The breakfast was brilliant. Cannot fault this hotel at all and would definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: Didn't see any other rooms but guess they're all excellent. Considering the hotel was right...

“Lovely hotel and convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Nice hotel in a good central location, a bit of extra walking to Darling Harbour but nice to be away from the tourist feel of Darling Harbour. Great food all around the hotel but I would suggest to get breakfast included as they do a beautiful breaKfast although on the high $ side.

Close by was the Lane nice for breakfast and dinner.

“Centre of the city, professional, comfortable and good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Stayed in Sydney over New Year 2011/12 and the Radisson was a great city base. From arrival, the staff were spot on. The hotel has that typical city hotel feel, lots of business people and aircrew in and out and as a consequence, slick efficiency is the order of the day. Reception are used to dealing with guest requests and do so in a professional manner. Take time to chat with the street concierges, they are knowledgable, helpful and good humoured - nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The bar is well stocked and the bar staff welcoming, it is a hotel bar but you don't feel like you've missed out by having a drink there. Only complaint would be the extortionate cost of in house laundry! $250 for a few shirts, undies and trousers! That needs looking at! We had a view of the building opposite, but be realistic, that's city hotels! If you want a view, you have to ask for it at booking (and pay for it!)

Room Tip: If you want a view of Sydney, you have to ask and you will have to pay. I'd say don't bother...
