the location was ideal if you were a tourist. The hotel has no life and the room is super basic and dated. It was clean enough but certainly a no frills experience.

Such a great location. Very clean and friendly staff. I think the only thing was the restaurant in the hotel was only open for dinner thurs-sat, which we were hoping to use. But a few places locally that were still great.

Amazing views

Sydney sky Harbor had a very great location. The views for our room were stunning. The views from the rooftop pool were amazing. Getting to the hotel was a bit more difficult than anticipated because of the location on a hill, but once we arrived climbing uphill with very large suitcases in the pouring rain was worth it when we got to take a breath and look out and see the stunning Sydney Harbour. The room itself was very basic and on the older side, but had amenities that made it comfortable and great for a good nights rest as a transitionary place. Only stayed one night, but would happily stay here again.

We chose this hotel because we were going on a cruise. We were well within walking distance to the cruise pier and it was easy getting to the ship. The area has a ton of stuff to do, there's easy transportation all around and restaurants are everywhere!! Great place to stay!!

Property is ideally located for cruise ship travel. One block walk to the dock. Great central location for seeing the harbor and the rocks area. Property is a bit dated and tired, but we would stay again for the location alone.
