Sir Stamford at Circular Quay

I recently stayed at the Sir Stamford Hotel in Sydney and couldn’t have been more impressed. The room was incredibly spacious – easily one of the largest I’ve ever stayed in – with stunning views over the city and harbour. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Sydney with easy access to the tram, shops, restaurants, and attractions. The beds were super comfy, making it a perfect place to unwind after a big day out. The breakfast buffet was a real highlight – fresh, delicious, and with plenty of variety to suit all tastes. What really stood out was the friendly and welcoming staff who made the whole stay even more enjoyable. And for the size of the room, the amenities, and the location – it was fantastic value. I was genuinely impressed. Highly recommend the Sir Stamford for anyone visiting Sydney. I’ll definitely be booking here again!

I had a truly wonderful stay at Sir Stamford at Circular Quay Hotel, Sydney! The location is perfect, just steps away from the Opera House, Botanical Gardens, and the harbor, making it easy to explore the best of Sydney. The hotel itself has a charming, classic feel with beautifully appointed rooms that are spacious, quiet, and comfortable. The staff were warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay. We especially loved the attention to detail and the cozy, elegant atmosphere throughout the hotel. The breakfast was also delicious, with a great variety of options to start the day. If you’re looking for a peaceful, refined place to stay in Sydney with exceptional service and an unbeatable location, I highly recommend Sir Stamford at Circular Quay. We can’t wait to return!

The room is fantastic, but everything else around this is lacklustre. A long wait for check in, a parking rate that makes it very unlikely I'll book again when there is parking nearby for $44 instead of $70. I'd understand $70 for casual parking, but for someone staying 3 nights to bill them $70 per day is robbery for your own guests. You also have a terrific whisky bar that closes at 9pm?! No chance for after-dinner drinks or additional spend. Concierge mentioned that guests ask about the whisky bar "dozens" of times per night after 8:30pm, but are told it is closed. So much lost revenue and opportunity. Lastly, from the clientele, I'm clearly in the wrong age bracket to stay here.

Wonderful location. We attended an Opera House concert and then overnighted. Parking is conviently located right around the corner. We were given a complimentary room upgrade. The suite was very large and clean. Staff were very friendly. Room service was prompt and the food delicious. A convient store is located a few doors down Macquarie street. This hotel is scheduled to be demolished the first quarter of 2026 so there were some staff and ammenity cutbacks and, as others have mentioned, the rooms and furniture are a little bit dated. Still, we considered it very good value. Book now before it's gone. We have many fond memories staying there over the past 35 years. Will miss Sir Stamford at Circular Quay. Highly recommend.

The hotel had a wonderful old school authentic style and atmosphere. Fantastic location & great accommodation and would stay again
