Holiday Inn Old Sydney the Rocks The Rocks

Close to Circular Key, in the heart of The Rocks - very nice hotel and would stay there again.

We stayed here as part of a family tour of Australia. The location had been recommended to us by people living in sydney and it didn't disappoint - 5 mins walk to Circulat Quay and the Opera House. We didn't eat in the hotel but bar service was efficient. Our only minor grumble was that the bathroom was very tired and the shower rather painful. Also, […] we never received enough towels even though the hotel knew that there were 2 adults and 2 children in the room. They did, however, send more up on request. Continua a leggere

What the hotel lacks in modernisation it certainly wins on location. Stayed here 19 years ago & was still very pleased with our choice. Great value , super location, & wonderful breakfast with the added bonus of rooftop pool (although very small ) I would definitely stay again. We were travelling with our 2 teenage daughters .

The staff are very friendly and knowlegable. The rooms however are very dated. The bathrooms are tiny. If you are taller than 5ft 8 i would imagine the shower would be a big issue. The air conditioning in the room is very out dated and old. The overall confort of the room however was fine but they do need to update this hotel. Given it is situated in […] the rocks I would not rate it 4.5 stars. For an extra $30 I could have stayed at a known 5 star around the corner. The price did not reflect the standard.

we would have stayed an extra night but because of the air conditioner was so cold it wouldn't sit on the temperature that i would set it to .

Loved the hotel. You can't beat a view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House from the rooftop pool. Staff were friendly and very helpful throughout the entire hotel. Would definitely stay there again.

Most importantly, this hotel met the American standard of ammenities and cleanliness, which is very difficult to find outside of the USA. It has an amazing location about 3 blocks from the Circular Quay railway station---a very easy walk with baggage on wheels ($20 or so for a train ticket from the airport vs abou $65 via taxi). You definitely pay for […] the location, but honestly its very worth it, as my wife and I did not pay for a taxi once in six days and were able to walk all over the downtown area. The hotel is literally 1 block from the cruise terminal. The rooftop pool has a fantastic vista of the city and, though small, is very enjoyable. The only issue we had was that the room was rather small, but since it was clean and fairly modern, we didn't care much. Breakfast is outrageously priced for continental fare, and even worse for eggs and sausage -- highly recommended that you walk up and down George St and find a cafe for half the price (watch out, many places have different prices for take away and dine in.) Highly recommended. My wife and I have already stayed here twice. Continua a leggere

We booked this hotel because we got a good deal through hotels.com rather than any other reason, we could have our 2 children in our room which saved us money too. We soon realised that the best things about this hotel are the location and the view from the rooftop pool/spa area. It's right on George Street in The Rocks, it is close to Circular Quay […] and we walked just about everywhere. The views of Circular Quay, the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Sydney City are spectacular from the rooftop pool area. The pool and spa are older style, but our children loved using both and the roof is open until 11pm, so great for getting photos. It's a shame the sauna was closed though. The rooms aren't huge, we had 2 double beds but didn't feel cramped, we really didn't spend much time in the room as we were either out or on the roof by the pool. The beds were comfortable and we all got a good nights sleep. The hotel is heritage listed so it is not new and could do with a bit of a renovation. However, it was very clean, and the reception staff were excellent, welcoming and very helpful. There's lots of restaurants, cafes, pizza places, bars & pubs nearby and a market on the weekend. I liked that the windows could be opened and we didn't need to use the aircon, even though it was January. Our friends had one of the few rooms with a small balcony too. You also get to see the fantastic cruise ships that dock across the road, and we met a few very interesting overseas tourists who were staying at the hotel prior to joining a cruise. I would have liked a microwave and toaster in the room, other Holiday Inn hotels we've stayed in have them but this only has a small fridge. We only had the buffet breakfast on one day as it has more food than we like to eat in the morning (a piece of toast is enough for us). The reception staff also did the online checked-in for our flight's home and printed the boarding passes (thank you). Continua a leggere

What a find! Well appointed hotel - friendly, responsive staff and in such a great location. I chose it for its proximity to the overseas terminal because we were arriving via a cruise - but I would stay here again because it's in the heart of the Rocks which is such a fascinating area - and an easy walk to Circular Quay, the Opera House, ferries, trains […] and buses, and downtown Sydney. I'll book here next visit, but if you're wanting somewhere to stay before or after your cruise - this is perfect. Continua a leggere

Personable staff and very helpful! Great dinner suggestions! Overall - we would stay again!

Overall Holiday Inn On the Rocks was good for a weekend at the Rocks. Even though the room was not of 4.5 star quality as advertised, the proximity of the hotel is great and service good. Parking was very reasonable for 2.5 days stay. Close to everything. Buffet breakfast is outstanding.

The staff are very helpful, the view from the roof is stunning, the convenience of the location was an absolute pleasure and overall we had a really great stay. There was some street noise at night, but not too much. Would definitely stay there again.

We could not fault this hotel with its most outstanding location - 2 minutes from the harbor bridge and 1 minute from circular keys/opera house. Best breakfast and highly recommend you prepay and enjoy - you wont be disappointed

The Holiday Inn in Sydney's Rocks is good 3 to 3.5 star value for money, ideally located only minutes from the Bridge, Circular Quay, the Opera House, the Domaine, Darling Harbour and the CBD. Service was not as sharp as you might expect in a hotel of this rating but it was satisfactory and overall a good stay can be assured.

Great location, just an OK hotel. The view from the rooftop pool is fantastic, but not a lot of people used it as far as I could see and it was pretty small. The hotel is so close to everything and withing a short walking distance of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. The hotel serves its purpose if you just need a room in a great location. […] Our room was very basic, and just the same as any other holiday inn I've stayed in. WiFi was not free at the hotel, but this seemed to be the norm in Australia as a whole. There is a great Thai restaurant just across the street, and plenty of places to have breakfast outside of the hotel. Continua a leggere

Stayed for 2 nights at this lovely hotel. Never had issues regarding transport since the train station is about 5 mins walk. When we found out that there would be roadworks on Sunday and trains weren't available we opted for the ferry ride and to our amazement was more satisfied than the trains! Expensive train ride from the domestic airport to Circular […] quay at $15 per person. Would recommend taking a taxi if there's 4 of you. It would be around $30++. Pancakes on the rocks is near this hotel but we weren't satisfied with their service it must be that time of night. We climbed the bridge and the office is 10 mins away so that was convenient! The markets on the weekend served as a treat for us as it was right at our doorstep and the steamed corn was fantastic for breakfast :) Overall amazing stay, very helpful staff! Would recommend to others :) Continua a leggere

Picture on web sight very misleading; service very poor and very little works in the room including the key cards. Very embarrassed; nice location but Sebel is the place to stay and in same area.

The room didn't smell clean, it smelt of mildew. Toilet was not functional, it kept blocking. Service however was excellent but condition of hotel was old, needs refurbishment, very overpriced. Also they advertise a buffet breakfast which was misleading as it is mainly eggs cooked to your specification, fruit & muffins & very over priced at $27 per […] head. Continua a leggere

Location is great, hotel is a little long in the tooth, updating of bathroom would be desirable. Rate was good. Glad I chose this hotel rather than a couple smaller ones down the street since the noise from the bar in those hotels must have been very distracting to those who were staying there.

It's a shocking experience at Holiday Inn Old Sydney. Apart from the location everything else was below par. The bathroom had a leak, and it was as if someone was constantly taking a shower.. We had to move to another room, which had smaller unclean bathroom.. the service was poor, you have to ask for every single thing.. and we didn't even realize […] until the very last night that we were supposed to get some complementary stuff (eg. biscuits etc ) I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great location,, average hotel, and be sure you flick the switch (un labeled but apparently near the bed) otherwise the AC doesn't work.... We learned that the hard way. Breakfast too expensive, but otherwise all good.

could not work the airconditioner no remote and no instructions in roomnsw

All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful,especially the girls at reception. We were offered an upgrade to harbour views and it was certainly worth taking. Would recommend The Holiday Inn to anyone.We will certainly come back Thanks

Had a great stay, room very clean and comfortable. Close to great restaurants. Staff very pleasant and helpful. So enjoyed our stay, would defiantly stay again!

great location, close walk to circular quay.

Terrific customer service, very friendly and nice staff.

Travelling with 2 children (14, 12) we needed to have a four bedded room which is not always easy to find. Our room have 2 king size beds and plenty of room for cases etc. The location was great, heart of the Rocks, market on same street (weekend) and amazing views from the top of the hotel. Easy to explore Rock and the rest of the city. Staff very […] friendly and welcoming. Would recommend. Continua a leggere

Older Hotel, friendly reception, but our stay was tarnished by the Fire alarm going off at 11.00pm when we were in bed sound asleep. A computer generated voice comes over that an alarm has been activated and be prepared to evacuate, then it says to evacuate now. There were no staff at all making sure that rooms were evacuated nor were we reassured at […] any point of time once the fire brigade had turned up and checked that was OK, that it was ok to return to our rooms. Standing out on the footpath in night wear. bare feet is not nice! The whole time reception staff were seen to be carrying on behind the counter - would have been nice to have someone come out and speak to us! No apology either! Continua a leggere

I think most hotels disrespect women and put them in the worst rooms. This one was no exception. I was too tired to change rooms. Had view of famous Sydney bridge (which I recommend climbing despite $200 price tag). But, view was really funny - through buildings with no harbor visable at all. Also, next to laundry room and down odd hallway. Whatever. […] We were traveling for three weeks and this was the last room. Only so-so, but great location (farmers market for breakfast on our last morning). Continua a leggere

Great location, views fantastic from rooftop pool and room if you pay extra. Excellent breakfast, staff polite and friendly. All in all great stay in the Rocks area.

Great location / view on top floor. great Room service friendly staff and great food.

fab hotel, fab location, make sure to check out the view from the roof!

It was just in a prime location, with very friendly staff and a lovely ambience.

We had been to Sydney before, and knew where we wanted to locate. Couldn't have been a better location and when we walked into our room at night-there was the Sydney Opera House. Definitely would recommend.

Our choice couldn't have been better. Proximity to the Harbour and surrounds and a stone's throw from our favourite restaurant. Our room had a teeny view of the Harbour but we weren't in it much anyway. The view from the roof is spectacular and the area could possibly be enhanced by a little cocktail bar with - maybe - tapas? We were impressed by breakfast, […] which in most places has developed a 'sameness'. The inclusion of an egg station and rhe courteousness of the staff gave a feeling of being "special". The standard of the food was very good. A lovely start to the day! Our only criticism during our stay was a very noisy air conditioner in our room which we reported and I 'm sure it has been rectified by now. We'd stay there again! Continua a leggere

very comfortable and location to die for. Right next to Sydneys heart in the old centre of town. Great restaurants and Hotels everywhere.Room was very clean.

room ready in a timely manner-a big plus after many hours of travel & long flight-clean & friendly service-thanks

Our family of four stayed for two nighst at Holiday Inn Old Sydney the Rocks. We had a family room, excellent beds, pillows and duvets, great view of the city. At first we thought breakfast was a little expensive (not included in our booking), but after realizing the kids had it for free, it was a perfest start of the day. The best part is the rooftop […] pool, where you have the Opera house on one side, and Sydney Harbour Bridge on the other. Amazing. The only thing I would have wished for, was that the hotel could include free wifi. It is not a budget hotel, and it sees reasonable. Continua a leggere

We enjoyed our short stay at this hotel. It was in a fantastic location and close to Circular Quay and all the happenings around the harbour. The hotel was in easy walking distance to many first class restaurants as well as smaller cafes etc. All the history of The Rocks was right at our door step. The hotel was quiet, clean and our stay was hassle […] free. There was also a roof top pool area that had the most spectacular view of Sydney harbour and also out in all other directions. You could order food from the room service style menu to eat at tables in this area also. Well worth a visit. Continua a leggere

The Old Holiday Inn on the Rocks is a fabulous hotel. The staff were always willing to help and the location was perfect. Our room was comfortable and clean and had a great view.

This hotel is in a great location - not only for the historic Rocks area of Sydney, but it is also close to Circular Quay for trains, busses and ferries. The roof top pool/spa offers great views too. Only slight gripe - shaver socket in the bathroom didn't work. The fault was reported to the front desk who said they'd "get on it". Nothing happene […] d. Continua a leggere

The hotel was a pleasant surprise. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean. Location location location. The Rocks Market is right out the door, the Sydney harbour was in full view from our room (we were on the 4th floor of the 8 floors). It was a little chilly so we didn't get to use the lovely little pool on the rooftop but what a view! Plus a real laundry […] center (although only open 9am to 8pm). The neighborhood is charming. Many different restaurants or cafes within very close walking distance - block or less. Couldn't have asked for more. Continua a leggere
