Stunning grand lady of a hotel

The Hydro has so much rich history and the renovation is beautiful. The restaurant is great and the chef outdid themselves with a wonderful dinner. The staff were excellent and so polite. The bar is fabulous for pre and after dinner cocktails. The valley view room was a little small, nicely renovated but the bathroom needs an extra shelf for your toiletries. Overall we had a great stay

The property needs to be renovated, it looks quite tired. The air-conditioning system in our room was not working properly, the staff had to bring in an additional small heater to keep the room warm. There is no in room dining which is a bit of an inconvenience. Considering the price we paid for two nights, I think the Fairmont was a better experience. The view from the room was great and also a big shout out to Marcus for always doing his best to assist, also a big out out to the young lady who checked us in, I failed to get her name.

From check in to check out, the service at HM was impeccable. The Front desk team, particularly Marcus and his phenomenal knowledge of HM's history, was incredibly educational and entertaining. Thanks to Marcus and his knowledge, we learnt so much about the history of HM and it made our experience so much more endearing. Every team member assisted us with our enquiries regardless of their allocated/designated work areas (Theresa!) and the rooms and facilities are sinply breathtaking. Thank you Marcus and the entire HM team for making our stay so much more memorable and one we will never forget. We will be back very soon and look forward to creating so many more fond memories here. An absolute 10/10. Thank you!!!!

A sad old dame

This property is a bit sad now, as it’s been given no love. It’s a heritage building and is showing its age, but that’s no excuse for peeling, flaking paint and lack of cleanliness (does anyone check the state of the floor in the lounge bathrooms?). It was a grand design, meant to be filled with people, but now many of the lounges are shut down due to lack of visitors and staff. Some staff (not all) are clearly unhappy and it shows (Belgravia Lounge in particular- check the management there); I think they need much more support. And can you not do better than an array of fried foods or sandwiches for the snack menu there? The only alternative early in the week is the high end restaurant, and that’s too expensive to dine there every night. Seriously, give the staff and the property a lot more love.

We spent 2 nights with another couple at the Hydro and loved it! They've updated an iconic property tastefully and kept as many Art Deco features as possible. The staff is excellent. If you're lucky enough to catch the Manager Marcus when he's not busy, he can share some incredibly interest history about the property. He seems to always be on site making sure things are running smoothly. 2 of us had the buffet breakfast which had plenty of choice and was replenished while we were there. Coffee to taste is ordered separately. The view from the restaurants and bar are stunning, and the bartender from Brisbane entertaining. I hope we get a chance to return! This was a return visit for our friends who have been 3 times in the past. They were impressed with the renovations. Would definitely return! There is road construction currently in front of the building, but it didn't interupt our stay.
