Hotels near Sydney Observatory

Really enjoyed my stay at Shangri-La! We booked with the Opera view, so worth it!

The location, service, facilities, room, cleanliness, meal are great, the view from the room is amazing, love to be here again someday.

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Sydney and really enjoyed the experience. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job throughout. The location by Darling Harbour made it easy to walk everywhere, and the breakfast selection was solid. Service was warm and efficient, making the whole stay feel effortless.

The hotel room is neat and clean, the staff is very friendly, very helpful and efficient, the hotel is very strategically located next to Wynyard train station and the road to the city center or QVB shopping, Chinatown can be walked if you want to save on tram fares, so it is a favorite hotel to stay in every time you go to Sydney.

I had a great stay at YHA Sydney Harbour from June 26-28, 2026 in the Queen Opera Harbour View room. The location is perfect, very close to everything and the harbour view was amazing. The room was clean, comfortable, and the ensuite was very convenient. Staff were friendly and helpful. I also tried the food and it was good. Overall a really good experience and great value for money!

The building is new and the room is clean. Close to museum train station. Can walk to the shopping malls and shops near town hall station. Overall nice experience.

Always enjoy the Hilton hospitality, with friendly staff, helpful in storing my luggage before check-in, peaceful room, nice hotel amenities and facilities, and great food. Located at the heart of Sydney right next to QVB, shopping areas, and train stations. Will stay again for sure! Thank you!

Thank you for the hospitality. The room was clean, with new furniture, and especially the remote toilet was fantastic. Thanks, Patty.

Great response, and clean room and amenities. Strong shower and perfect hot water to your body. Good soap and shampoo. And perfect location, near the entrance of food mall and reasonable price. Overall great.

This hotel is very comfy and it’s close to everywhere, just love it

Very nice and very good everything

Great experience at Rydges. Due to delays with our room being ready, reception staff were wonderful to deal with and upgraded us to two adjoining rooms. The daily buffet breakfast was fantastic and the proximity to everything in Sydney was also great. Would definitely recommend!

Clean room. Clean shared bathroom and toilet, quiet hallway. Ground floor is a bar but completely soundproofed from the bedrooms upstairs. Friendly - cute - enthusiastic staff. Super cute and enthusiastic housekeeping staff. Great location. Great everything. My family is very happy. I will be here for next trips to Sydney if room is available, please

I stayed at Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour for two nights while on vacation, and it was such a great experience! The check-in was super quick, the staff were really friendly, and the room was clean and comfy. The best part? The location! The hotel is right next to a tram stop, so getting around Sydney was a breeze. It’s also just a short walk to the harbour, and there are plenty of cool cafés nearby with amazing coffee. Overall, I loved my stay at Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour. Totally recommend it!

Strategic location, clean rooms and toilets, very comfortable hotel, I will come back to this hotel if I am in Sydney

Great hotel, great staff. My partner's birthday weekend was an amazing experience.
