Nice place to staycation. We can walk around the city, many stores, food shops, nice employee who was welcoming us before entering the reception. He also speaks Bahasa Indonesia very well, he gave us a Sydney city map and explained to us what to do in the short time before we checked in. I recommended tourists to stay here.

Initial check-in was good. Bathroom sink plumbing problem with discharge water flowing onto tile floor and spraying on feet. Coffee in the Breakfast Area is terrible. Manager firstly attempted to charge for a separate barrister coffee, but then changed his mind when told he had provided barrister coffee to us free-of-charge 2 weeks ago on our previous stay at Paradox Hotel.

We had an amazing 2 night stay prior to a cruise departing Sydney. The hotel location, hotel appearance inside & out, staff, room, and breakfast all earned the 5 star ratings. They had rooms ready & without asking, offered us early check-in. The rooms were well appointed, beds/pillows & linens very comfortable. The bathroom & large tub was welcomed after a long flight. Breakfast included in our selected room cost was exceptional. If ever in Sydney again (or any other city with a Paradox Hotel), this is where I will stay! Thank-you, Paradox Hotel & Staff!!

Staff were absolutely fantastic- From the moment i walked in the door, the doorman greeted me and helped me with my luggage. Throught my stay staff were great! The room was large, clean and made up every day. The hotel is centrally located in the heart of sydney close to many shops and a short walk to public transport if going a bit further away. Even at the very end of my stay the doorman not only helped me with my luggage out but he also advised me the platform to take at the closest train station back to the airport. Solo traveller this trip but I will most certainly return to the Paradox for another stay when back in Sydney- either a solo or family trip.

Brilliant location, made getting around Sydney so easy. The staff were all so kind and helpful and just a joy to interact with every day. The room service was very reasonably priced- not too different to eating out so when I wanted a dessert without going too far I had some delicious options! Room facilities were perfect- love having excellent water pressure and the rooms were so gorgeous and it was so much fun being in such a unique building. It would be hard for me to want to stay somewhere else in the Sydney CBD. We ended up leaving some stuff in the room by accident which the housekeeping found and the concierge arranged for it to be mailed back, I honestly thought it would be $$$$ but they charged only for postage and a very small admin fee. Honestly- love the Paradox Sydney and could not recommend more.
