Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- PeterGlasgow, UK3,267 contributionsWe always go in the side entry to visit the fine book shop.
The cafe is very pleasant also.
Upstairs there is sure to be a large exhibition and the huge picture gallery.Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were not particularly looking for any information, but rather went in just to have a look. There is lots of information around and the staff seemed quite friendly as we observed from a distance. Next time we need help about Sydney sightseeing we will know where to turn to.Written 1 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Des PSydney, Australia1,117 contributionsYes it’s my local so I might be a little biased, but it’s still an inviting and comfortable environment - regardless of you are planning of using the library or not.
Lots of seating outside if the sun is shining - otherwise head inside and relax in a pretty quiet space.

- RonWamberalSydney, Australia11,986 contributionsSaw the SMH Year in review which was wonderful and absolutely packed. A great event and few premises could handle such a night with the feeling of being close up and yet ave so many people. The staff did a seamless job of organising it all. Hated the casino on the way here but this was such a contrast to the outside activities.Written 19 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jun AculladorPasig, Philippines940 contributionsLocated in Haymarket, walking distance from Central Station & UTS. It gets crowded at certain times. Staff is very friendly.

- Angela BNewcastle, Australia129 contributionsWe visited the lounge before flying first class to Singapore. We were offered spa treatments when we arrived and took the offer of a neck and shoulder massage after a glass of champagne. We really enjoyed lunch and the overall experience.
