Top McElhone Stairs Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"I have nothing to complain about. Perfect service."

Hyatt Regency Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Shoutout to the breakfast team, who not only put a delicious spread every morning, with a variety of options (I absolutely loved the stir fried noodles and the mushrooms, as well as the freshly squeezed orange juice; delicious!), but also managed the space and guests with such ease and professionalism. Every morning, they show you to your seat (which is very convenient; no need to scramble for a seat), and they know whether or not you are staying there alone or as part of a group. Again, very convenient! The luggage team (bellboys?) also did an amazing job, storing your luggage and knowing when you will be collecting (you hive them an approximate time of collection). These services just made the stay all the more enjoyable! 10/10, without a doubt!"

Shangri-La Sydney

8/10 Good

"The bedrooms are nice: spacious, good bed/bedding and sizeable bathrooms. The spa and changing rooms are poorly planned and tired. Need maintenance! Inadequate lockers, peeling paint, cramped surroundings. Club Lounge is great with a generous cocktail hour (enough food for dinner, should you feel so inclined) but an underwhelming "afternoon tea" (a scone, basically). Breakfast in the main restaurant was generous but the staff were overwhelmed. Small examples: no cutlery, no proactive coffee offering and then long waits for drinks. A comfortable stay but at this price point there are better experiences in Sydney."

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel that displays the heritage and craftsmanship of the building whilst also offering a modern feel. The room was very spacious with a large window to the street below. The onsite restaurants such as The Palace where we had our included buffet breakfast each morning was amazing. The food selection was vast and of great quality. The waiters/waitresses were attentive and no job was made to feel too hard. Always asking if there was anything they could do. The hotel is perfectly situated in the CBD and only a 10min walk to Darling Harbour. Will definitely be staying there in the future. 10/10"
