Reviewed by Andrew of West Hollywood on Sep 10, 2009

We booked a deluxe room with king size bed for the both of us, and we booked it early. We were wowed by the size of the room, and the comfortability it gave us. Even if we felt that the extra space was a bit under used. More could have been put in the room for conveniences of the guests such as bowls and a sink, etc. It IS a deluxe room. But for the price, with such an early booking... The comforter/duvet was crisp linen style=noisy! But warm, and clean. A great service staff behind the desk, ready to assist you for sending out mail, guiding you to a great selection of restaurants in the vicinity, and helpful with clearing up any unneccessary charges.

Not recommended Trip type: Romance "Dont belive the hype!"

Reviewed by Alex of Princeton on Jul 6, 2009

All i heard before booking with this hotel was that it was art deco, very nice, great value and in a great part of town. The hotel itself is in an awesome location, a simple 5-10 min walk to darling harbour which has endless choices for eating and drinking. Its walking distance to China town, the rocks, pretty much near everything. When we got there the room was a little dirty (hair in the bathroom) and the bed was very uncomfortable. We complained down stairs and to their credit they did offer us a free up grade which just looked exactly the same so we decided to stay put rather then move all of our stuff. The staff was not that helpful and our the wait staff in the breakfest area seemed to be mad at the world. Stay here only if you plan on being drunk every night and using this place just as a roof over your head. For comofort and a little more money there were plenty of other options i wish i would have taken.

I was very impressed with the Grace Hotel. It was much nicer than I expected and quite historic. The lobby was very posh and the rooms are modern and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and accomidating. It's a couple blocks from the Wynyard CityRail station and walking distance to the Darling Harbor/Sydney Aquarium/Sydney Tower. There is also a huge variety of dining/drinking/shopping very close by.

Reviewed by Anthony of Washington DC on Mar 30, 2009

Excellent location, very good service, clean and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful remodeled art-deco building in downtown Sydney. The only drawback is the lack of Wi-Fi in my room. The cable-based connectivity was reasonably fast, but you have to sit at the desk. Internet is $16 US per day (for a one week purchase, otherwise it's more). This seems a bit pricy.
