Sir Stamford at Circular Quay

this is the worst hotel in my life, everything is terrible here, from the old, dirty rooms to the employees, I will post a photo, you decide, this is a terrible place, perfect for filming a horror movie ((( and also, they brought our things to the room, we came to the room almost immediately and saw how the luggage porter flushed the toilet in our room, we were shocked, asked to change the room

I love this hotel for its old world charm and great location. I was hoping that the fireplace was going to be on in the foyer as I have loved sitting by the fire previously in winter.

Excellent position enjoyed my stay .It was cold and wet for the whole time .Please ensure that the mini bar is stocked next time

I picked the Sir Stamford as my daughter had a function at the Opera House. The location is great; probably 100m to Circular Quay and the parking is right next door. I would describe the hotel as an “Agatha Christie” style building; with interesting fittings/rugs/chandeliers etc. The foyer has a fireplace that is lit at night and 24hr reception which is handy. However, while the decor is from the 1930s, that’s also possibly the last time anything was fixed or updated in the hotel. The rooms and furniture are tired, when I tried to find a USB port I discovered a CD alarm clock from the 90s and the shower rose was affixed to the corner of the wall making it hard to immerse yourself in the weak flow of water. When I ventured to the hotel gym I found that most of the bikes/treadmills were out of action, as was the sauna. Not to be deterred, I decided to take a dip in the outdoor pool. Unfortunately, it appeared that one of the downpipes flowed directly into the pool and during the recent heavy rain the bottom of the pool was filled with leaves, foil and cigarette butts. I called reception in the hope that someone would give it a quick clean but sadly when I returned hours later nothing had changed. If you are struggling for a hotel near Circular Quay then this hotel will give you a decent night sleep but keep your expectations low. Even the bar was closed.

We stayed two nights on the top floor. The room was very comfortable and clean. All staff were very friendly and helpful.
