Recent Reviews in Balmain East

Mercure Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Central location. Transport links, train, bus and light rail all on doorstep. 10 minute light rail trip to Circular Quay for Sydney harbour ferry links. Go to Sydney fish markets, a must see via light rail. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, great facilities, highly recommend."

View Sydney

8/10 Good

"The location is amazing and the views are beautiful, the staff were lovely and friendly. They let us check in early and I’d definitely stay here again. The only negative things are that cleaning and maintenance staff could be a little more diligent. I told reception one of the bedside lamps wasn’t working and I’d left it on the main table in the room. Cleaning staff just put it back, plugged it in but it was never fixed. The bathroom could also have used a deep clean with the fan very dusty and the shower grout needed scrubbing."

Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay

10/10 Excellent

"Sydney Harbour Mariott at Circular Quay was a first-rate experience in every way. Our room was clean, serviced daily, and had a view of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Located near Circular Quay and the Sydney Opera House, it was easy to walk to multiple destinations. The breakfast buffet may be the best I've ever seen."
