Medina Grand Harbourside Sydney

My wife and I stayed here at the end of our honeymoon, and this saved the trip. The rooms with the japanese sliding doors are great. The rooms are extremely spacious and come with a ton of amenities. I didn't know when I booked this room that there would be a full kitchen with a dishwasher, a washer and a dryer, and a balcony. The location is great, […] but the restaurants in the area are a bit pricey, so just be prepared for that. Continua a leggere

Just across the road from the aquarium and Darling Harbour, so close but not noisy. We stayed in the Studio, 5th floor, with excellent facilities for eating in (fridge, oven, c/top jug, toaster etc) and views to Darling Harbour. If wanting to go to the convention centre an easy walk west of the aquarium has you at the northern end of the Cockle Bay […] complex, IMAX not much further along then.The gym is adequate, and as only the only one there each time it was a great set up with a combo of cardio and weights. Next time the pool will get a visit too I would stay here again, this is our second time now, especially if wanting to be at Darling Harbour. The walk up the hill toward Quenn Victoria building is fairly easy and there are shops galore in this area too on the eastern side...parking at Wilson's was a bonus for the weekend and just a block up on Kent Street. The reception/porter/cleaning staff were all pleasant and made our stay a good one to remind us how this place should always be on our list. Continua a leggere

Great position and had no problems til after checkout waiting to be let down in the lift to be able to get to our car. We had to wait a very long time and the staff were quite rude to us when we asked to be let down.

This is a wonderful hotel. It is close to the wharf for the ferries, right by the aquarium & wildlife world. The personnel were wonderful and very helpful. We had our own balcony and could see the harbor.

We stayed in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor for five nights. The location of the hotel is fantastic, within walking distance to the CBD, Pyrmont, train stations and right at King Street wharf for easy access to the Ferry services. The room itself was in need of a good clean, there was what appeared to be dirty finger marks on most doors […] and some walls. We also needed to put all the dishes and (mismatched) glassware through the dishwasher before using them as they didn't appear clean. Hand washing these was not an option as we were only provided with an unhygienic sponge for dish washing, and after asking for a proper washable cloth we were told to use the dishwasher. One of our 'clean' towels also had to be replaced as it had a rather revolting smell and was obviously not clean. The bathroom was large but the shower was over a very narrow bath and awkward to stand in and get out of. For the price we paid we expected much higher quality apartment, however it was adequate and the staff were helpful. Continua a leggere

The room was great, very spacious and modern. We got it at a really cheap price which made it definitely worth it's money. I would highly recommend staying here, especially if you need to be located close to Darling Harbour etc. Just expect to pay $32 for parking which is quite expensive.

Medina Grand Harbourside, Sydney AU. Spent one night here prior to a cruise. Was able to walk to the terminal along the boardwalk in 5 minutes Wanted to stay for 1 week after the cruise but hotel had no availability (major dissapointment) Loved the location within walking distance of major attractions and shopping. Would hightly recommend this hotel […] and would definitely stay there again. Continua a leggere

The hotel was in a terrific location across from the Aquarium and Wildlife World. You only need to walk over the bridge to get to great shopping, eating, and nightlife. The staff was very helpful and professional. We would recommend it.

Perfect located!

I stayed in top hotels around the world and am very happy with my stay at the Medina Grand.

Fantastic location, would have no need to go further than 500m if you did not wish to!

I was very impressed with the apartment, bed was super-king size and comfortable, there was a reasonably good city view from the room, shower was fantastic and everything was well maintained and clean. Considering the location and the quality of the accommodation, I felt that the hotel represented very good value for money. All staff members were very […] polite and helpful. Continua a leggere

The hotel is lovely and the staff very professional but friendly. We were so happy with the location on Darling Harbor. We would have loved to have spent more time there. It had a cruise to catch. Maybe another time!

Stayed here in December 2011. Great location and reasonable prices. Staff were friendly and helpful. Could have more parking available, but I was one of the lucky ones.

A great appartment hotel in a very convenient location, close to downtown and just steps from Darling Harbour. Only complaint is that balcony was not well cleaned

Pros: location... Cons: standard of room, cleanliness was deplorable. What modern day hotel charges for WI-FI?! Parking on site was a headache aswell, an overpriced. It's a car park, not a revenue raiser. Do yourself a favor an keep looking.

I have stayed here previously hence the reason to rebook here. Nice staff but could be more friendly and approachable but a lovely location and a well maintained hotel right on darling harbour. No view from our room but it was cleaned and we had no real issues apart from having no remote fr the tv but they fixed that quickly. Wifi costs money but in […] Sydney, everything costs money.

We thought the position and condition of this hotel was excellent for our purpose and would recommend this for anyone wishing to stay close to harbour in Sydney. A little overpriced but believe this is the same all over Sydney.

It was a very nice hotel, but we were a little disappointed, although it had double glass doors we could not sleep from the noise from the traffic. Maybe the harbour view rooms might not get the noise problem as we were on city side.

The staff of this hotel needs to be changed. Very unwelcoming staff and rude. just the opposite of what hospitality industry has to offer. Rooms are very small. You can barely bathe in the bathroom. Fair enough for a strict budget as it is well located.

The finest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Location was excellent ,the staff outstanding and friendly. Price unbelieveable for such a great location. Would not consider any other hotel for my next stay in Sydney.

Hotel staff, ammenities and location were excellent as was clenliness of room. Only chiticisms were that toilet was in an alcove and hard to access and shower/bath was slippery and a trip hazard. Overall our stay was very pleasant and staff were extremely helpfull. Very centrally located and close to ferry, monorail; and bus. I would definitely stay […] at the hotel again albeit in a differently configured room. Continua a leggere

The hotel is at the restaurant area King Street Wharf with lots of bars and restaurant. Also a few minutes walk away is Cockle Bay area with also many restaurants to choose from. It has good view but still remain quiet despite many bars are around. Hotel service is good except they missed out one housekeeping during my stay. Also internet is commonly […] provided for free in many countries now but still not yet happening in Australia. I understand the hotel spent some money on installing the internet network and might need to charge a fee on that. However what I don't understand is we need to pay quite an expensive amount to use the internet (I stayed for 2 weeks but need to pay US$200 for internet! even 3 days would cost like US$120). The hotel really need to consider lowering the cost. Continua a leggere

we recently stayed at the medina grand, reception staff where great, very polite and helpful. the room was good and the location was amazing!!! really enjoyed our time there and would stay there again when in sydney :)

We found the friendliness and helpfulness of all staff most refreshing.All our needs were met.

This hotel was great. Staff were friendly and obliging. Location was perfect for us having a night out in Darling Harbour (dinner at Blue Fish). Loved the room. Would definately stay again and recommend to others!

Loved this hotel! Great location, very helpful staff, loved having a kitchen and balcony facing the harbour

i stayed in this hotel on and off since it opened and it is still in very good condition and the furniture is of a modern timeless quality...even the televisions are now flat screen.....the beds however are a bit firmer than my liking but this is a personal thing.....my lounge room didn't have blockout drapes and allowed the street lights to shine through […] all night...i assume they were being cleaned otherwise they need to think twice about the need for privacy in this room as it can be clearly viewed from the footbridge adjacent ...

The location of the hotel is perfect, with excellent access to the bars and restaurants of Darling Harbour. It's convenient for the Central Business District and has connections to the tourist sights. The staff are friendly and helpful. The decor in the rooms is tired and gives a generally grotty feel. My room was only cleaned once in 6 days, and […] only then when I complained. If they fix this then I'd happily recommend the hotel. Continua a leggere

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Medina Grand Harbourside. It was in a brilliant location - right next to the Aquarium and on Darling Harbour. There's plenty to see and do around the Motel - and the City is only a very short walk up the hill.. The Motel was very comfortable - clean, roomy digs with a kitchenette and washing facilities. I particularly […] enjoyed the heated pool - yes, even at THAT time of year in Sydney. We'll DEFINITELY be back..!! Continua a leggere

The location was fantastic, room was brilliant, really nice. The only downside was that we got charged for someones elses room which was triple our price! The mistake was picked up after and the money reimbursed but that was the only hiccup on our stay. Just double check your invoice! Other than that I highly recommend the Medina to anyone and I would […] definatley stay again. Continua a leggere

The suite was excellent and the location of the hotel was excellent in terms of being able to walk the city and get to Circular quay, Darling harbour and the Train Station. MY ONLY UNHAPPINESS IS THAT $100 DEBIT WAS APPLIED TO MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT MY "UP FRONT" AUTHORISATION. When queried, I was told that this was provisional and that it would be refunded […] after the mini bar etc. was checked. FAIR ENOUGH - BUT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD BEFORE THE CHARGE. Also - after 1 week - I still do not have the refund. Continua a leggere

We loved our stay at this hotel. Room was very clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Location of the hotel is perfect for anything you want to do in Sydney. Close to Darling Harbour, walking distance to Circular Quay, Harbour Bridge and the CBD. We would recommend this Hotel to all our friends. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Truly enjoyed our stay at the Medina Harbourside. The location is close to the water and some nice bars, close to the city centre and the staff was friendly and helpful when we arrived early in the morning, allowing us to check in earlier. Overall we had a great stay and liked the spacious 1 bedroom apartment.

Great location! wonderful for Sydney lots of eating spots . Staff wonderful and friendly. Only complaint which is in significant -lounge chair in room hopelessly uncomfortable and really only for 1 person. Otherwise views,location convenience etc fantastic. Would stay again - No question.

Walk to everything or catch a ferry from your door. Excellent spot close to dining at King St Wharf or Darling Harbour. Short walk up King St to Pitt St Mall. Rooms were lovely although be sure to try & secure a water view room if you plan on spending time in your room. Standard v premier only means you are at the side of the building instead of the […] street end of the building. Must say - the worse thing about this hotel were the reception staff with attitude and the restaurant staff who couldn't care less. Didn't really matter as just a minute or 2 walk to the huge array of eateries around Darling Harbour. Great little convenience store just outside the rear entrance for picking up everything from your papers to a toothbrush. All in all, a good stay but wouldn't bother too much eating here unless you REALLY didn't want to go out. Had much better service at Medina Grand on Kent and location just as good but this suited us for this stay. Continua a leggere

A quality apartment in an ideal position at Darling Harbour,an excellent location . We were travelling for a month so needed to book some apartmentscwith washing machine/dryer -- at the same price as a hotel but with so much more personal space. A 5star facility. do book via the Internet though as a relative booked via the phone at short notice and […] paid double what we did.The receptionists were extremely helpful. Continua a leggere

The employees on front desk were a little disorganised (they didnt program the electronic key first time around, and then they checked me into a room that was already occupied - I walked in on the guests). Nevertheless, the location of this hotel is very central, with nice views over Darling Harbour. More attention required to room cleanliness but overall […] a decent experience. Continua a leggere

Hotel was situated right next to Darling Harbour so we didnt have to walk too far to all the delights of Sydney. Nice and clean, friendly helpful staff. We only stayed one night but had time to use the pool and sauna.

We wanted tostay in Darling Harbour and this was our first stay in Sydney and the hotel was great location to city for shopping and short walk to The Rocks and Circulat Keys. Hotel room very roomy and clean and staff very helpfull. Great Hotel would recommend toanyone,

This Medina hotel was a great! We were right off Darling Harbour - food & shopping right behind the hotel. We we able to easily walk to all Darling Harbour attractions within 5 minutes & Paddy's Market in 15 minutes. Easy to get to the Rocks and Circular Quay as well to see Sydney Harbor attractions - about a 15-20 minute walk. We felt safe out at night […] near the hotel. Grocery quickmart nearby. Restaurant in hotel nice as well for breakfast on the go. Our room had a nice kitchenette, balcony and comfortable space. We stayed here a week and we were very pleased with our choice. The front desk staff was very accommodating when we arrived early in the morning from our international flight. Since our check in time was in the afternoon, we were allowed to shower in the pool area shower and our bags were stored so we could easily go explore. Our first floor room was quiet despite our balcony facing a street with lots of foot traffic to a nearby club & restaurant. The front desk staff helped us with confirming tour bookings as well. I would stay here again and recommend others to stay here as well! Continua a leggere

The hotel is located right on Darling Harbour. The staff were great, the location was fantastic. Could walk everywhere, but Public transport just up the road. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed in this hotel last weekend(12/12/10) and we had great time. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed in 1 bedroom studio room(3rd floor) and it was perfect. We had a view on Darling Harbour. Location is great, close to all restaurants and caffee bars. I would be happy to stay here again.

Hotel is mediocre, but location is great.

Great location, average cleanliness, I don't think they changed the doona covers in between guests as it smelt.
