Very clean and comfortable, for a family of 2 adults and 2 children, the view is incredible and you can walk a few steps down to the sea and walk to the restaurants, I recommend jacks on the water, sushi pasta, burgers, cuts and drinks.

Lovely view. Free breakfast but could not take advantage. Only 2 tables in their “breakfast room” and they were occupied. Staff option was to take a tray back to our room…but the stairs are quite steep to navigate with trays of food. We had to eat elsewhere…so cannot comment on food quality.

Excellent location. Beautiful views from room 150. Walking distance to many small shops and beautiful waterfront has a long path to walk down. Comfortable beds. Clean rooms. Every few minutes you hear what sounds like the door lock clicking a little. Annoying. Could not get the tub to work. A sign says to pull out. I did several times and nothing happened. Breakfast experience is my main complaint. Very small room. Has only 2 tables (4 chairs each) to sit at. I took my plate to my room. Served are only eggs, cereal, yogurt, muffins & pastries, toast, & bacon or link sausages (overcooked & hard). There are can juices, milk, & coffee. Served till 10:30 which is nice. Check out at 11.

Beautifully kept, finished and located property. Pictures are true to life. We had a beautiful room second floor in the Cannery building which has a gorgeous view. Waking up to that ocean view and sunrise was breathtaking. Breakfast delivered to the room in this building is a bonus as well. The restaurant downstairs has wonderful Italian cuisine as well. A++

We arrived 3 hours early hoping to leave our bags on site and walk the harbour areas.
Instead, we were upgraded and given a harbour view room with a balcony.
Very nice touch and well done. Breakfast was limited but well made and enough choices to satisfy anyone. the location could not be better on the waterfront. restaurants/bars, shops etc were all within minutes walking. Airport 10 minutes drive from the hotel. Would stay again while area.

Thanks to all staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

This is a very quaint, waterfront property. The location was great for daily walks and close to dining and other amenities. The property is not modern by any means but it is clean and cute. The included breakfast was good as well. My only complaint would be that the room was hot, and the wall style AC unit was extremely loud and didn’t cool the room well. With the cool ocean air, I would have liked to leave the screen door open but it did not latch and I was concerned about security since it was a ground floor unit. A better latching device would be a necessary upgrade in my opinion.

The room was spotless, the staff were so so amazing and so very dog friendly that made us feel so welcoming.
The only two things is the lack of an elevator - my husband has some mobility issues so an elevator would have been nice, and the breakfast room was quite tiny. You could take your breakfast to your room but that is tricky to carry two breakfasts upstairs but both of these are being addressed and they hope to be working on them soon.. Even with these two minor items I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend them

The hotel's location is perfect for experiencing Sydney's local businesses and activities.
The property may not be a 5-star property in terms of physical quality, but the location, staff, and housekeeping are great. The only warning is that there is no elevator to the second floor (best view), which can be difficult for seniors and families with a lot of luggage. Note: the front desk does offer help.
If you plan to visit Victoria, I highly recommend an overnight stay in Sydney, and Sidney Waterfront Inn & Suites is your best choice.

The location of this hotel was great. We only stayed one night and had a room on the ground floor which I wouldn't take again as I like to open up my window. We had a little view to the ocean but overlooking the parking lot which was disappointing.
The breakfast was ok for continental but the breakfast room for really small for a hotel that size. I've learnt that they are staring to expand it soon. Otherwise, it was clean and we had everything we needed but in my opinion it's overpriced.

The positives - the location is perfect. Quick walk to the water/pier & cute shops. The room was clean - dated. The Canterbury coffee was excellent. We were in room 260 - the air conditioner and the board heating rattled and was very noisy. We booked a city view and it looked out on a street - disappointing. With the taxes $364 is a lot for this room. Breakfast was ok. There was bacon. The server brought a fresh batch but put on top of the old bacon. We had to ask for cutlery. Staff was so so. The first front desk attendant was friendly. The rest of the staff were indifferent. Checking out one attendant was busy but the other gentleman just looked at us until we asked if he could help us.

Great central location for walking around Sidney's waterfront/downtown! Friendly and kind staff who made sure the breakfast nook was well-stocked and rooms well-kept. Nice view of the waterfront from our room on the ground floor, too. Though we didn't have cause to use the microwave, it was nice to know we had one. We also really appreciated the list of recommended nearby restaurants provided in our room! We leaned on that info to make dinner plans and were not disappointed - whoever put that list together did a very good job.
