This was our first trip to Sydney - I was hoping for accommodation with a view of the iconic harbour and came across The Sebel Quay West Suites on booking.com - harbour view apartment looked amazing and hoped it lived up to exoectations. . We arrived in the harbour on a cruise ship and scoured the city landscape from the deck hoping to spot our chosen hotel but failing to match the picture on booking .com with our view we remained skeptics that our harbour view would live up to expectations - how wrong we were - our room was on the 22nd floor- as we entered the apartment I shed a tear - the view was totally spectacular - the apartment immaculate , exceptionally well appointed and totally exceeded our expectations - the location in The Rocks area from our point of view was perfect - a few minutes walk from Circular Quay where we could jump on the Ferry’s, a stones throw from the Opera House and surrounded by vibrant bars and restaurants . The staff at the Sebel are fantastic - so friendly and helpful - we had a truly memorable stay - our ambition is a return trip to Sydney as we loved it so much and we would choose to stay at the Sebel Quay West Suites with Harbour View every time - totally exceeded our expectations.

Everything

Views, the only property I could find, offering a reasonably p iced room with views of both the Bridge and the Opera House, best value views in Sydney.

Great location for access to The Rocks, harbour area, city centre, and the ferries. Breakfast was very good. Facilities in the apartment were everything I needed.

The biggest issue I had was with noise. First room I was allocated (level 9) had a very noisy air conditioner, I told the staff and they gave me a different room (level 10) which was better. Given the proximity to the main road I was expecting some traffic noise but it was much louder than I was expecting. After a stormy night I saw wet patches on the floor under the bedroom window, looking more closely I saw that the seal around windows was very worn which was letting the rain in and probably contributed to the noise issues. Overall, I could see the apartment had a degree of [past] luxury but it was all looking a bit dated and worn.

Place is Centrally located in "THE ROCKS" room has picture perfect vies of Opera House and Harbor bridge. We could not wait to get back to the room to enjoy a snack and beverage from 2 balconies. Place had 2 rooms living room/ fridge/ microwave and bedroom both had balconies with stunning harbor views. Ther is a washer and Dryer room which made it convenient for our stay. it is more of apartment than a hotel room. Even though they VERY UN-TACTFULLY have mini bar and snacks to tempt you in effort to make a few extra bucks on your stay(they say for "guest convenience", I say "SAMELESS/SELF SERVING" money grab). They have some attendant comes in your room twice a day to check on smacks and beverages you take. There is a convenient store with all snacks and beverages and more 100 feet from hotel if you need it. 5 min walk to circular key or 10 min to Harbor Bridge. You can fall asleep and wake up to Harbor Bridge views from your bed!! (we had room 1205)

Need to have chairs on balconys

We stayed at the Sebel Quay West suites for one week and this hotel was the perfect location we needed for our time in Sydney. Conveniently located in the Rocks close to trains, ferries, trams and buses what it was great for our stepping off points for day trips. The room itself was really nice - a large lounge/dining area with kitchen which we used to cook a few meals and a large separate bedroom. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

The wifi was not stable and would drop out regularly.

The fabulous view from the pool. The location but if you are coming with heavy suitcases from the station, make sure you head to the elevators serving the car park in Harrington street that takes you up to the lobby through the rear of the building. To do this you need to ignore the short route from google maps and go north via George Street then cut westwards through the square to walk south down Harrington Street and find the entrance to the lift through the glass doors, just after the vehicular accesses to the car park. That way you’ll avoid a steep hill and precarious flights of ancient stone stairs. Otherwise get an Uber!

Room was tired and grubby with worn out carpet but fine for just one night. If I was staying longer I would have paid for a better refurbished room. Another guest was very impressed with the premium accommodation.

Huge newly renovated apartment with lovely views Double sofa bed made up in living room in advance, much appreciated Great kitchen facilities Excellent location at The Rocks

Security; we had someone come into the room saying 'housekeeping' without waiting for a response and when I asked reception they said it was 'probably the minibar guy'. The building is also shared with permanent residents and an upgrade was underway to the. fire system - there was intense grinding and dust on one day- we told reception and they did move have works completed.

Access to Circular Quay, trains, trams, and ferries was awesome. An ample kitchen was available, as was laundry equipment. Bathroom and shower were ample. Bed was large and very comfortable. When we had issues, e.g., the TV, the staff quickly resolved them. The cleaning staff did an excellent job. The staff for check-in and check-out were pleasant and helpful.

The climb up the hill was a challenge, but fortunately, only 2 blocks long. Great for a youngster, less so for a senior. The view from the 8th floor was simply other high-rise buildings, but then we didn't stay in much.

Great location - only a few min walk from Circular Quay and a few tram stops and walk to Darling Harbour. Staff were very accommodating when we found my two children couldn’t fit on the sofa bed comfortably and even though it was tight, they brought in a roller bed which made a huge difference to us. Room was lovely, beds comfy, laundry handy. Breakfast was excellent. Cereals & juice buffet style and hot food to order a la carte. Fantastic almond flat white, hot chocolate and chai latte with breakfast. Pool was excellent to wind down after a long day with the kids.

Nothing.

Location is fantastic, with easy access to George Street via lifts that drop you down to ground level as you are elevated with amazing views (depending on room type) of the Sydney Harbour including bridge and opera house. Beds were comfortable. Staff were exceptional and very nice, easy check in and great room service. Nice lounge facilities and bar/restaurant with happy hour prices to accommodate prices.

The rooms are run down a little, with water damaged ceilings and few stains here and there on carpets. Two bedroom apartments very well used, again, which a fresh paint and re-carpeting would help. Doesn't match the price charged to be fair but the views are amazing, so a balance (if you can ignore stains and baby cockroaches appearing near bins which Sydney has a problem within most Hotels so not the Sebel alone). Luckily we only seen one, and took care of it with no other creatures making there way into our luggage!
