“Tired and pretty ordinary”

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

Jul 12, 2008

Check in was quick,easy and efficient but thats about where it stops.
Don't be fooled by the Four Seasons name. This is a long way off its 5 star competitors in Sydney and I've stayed at quite a few.
The rooms are very small and need serious updating. The TV is old with bad reception.
The bathroom is even smaller.
The room we stayed in had airconditioning problems. On my 4th call to management I demanded a room change. I received one.
My recent review of the Shangri La encompassess everything that this hotel is not - quality.
Pretentious exteriors does NOT make a 5 star hotel.
Spend your money elsewhere.

“Wow - What a view”

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

5 of 5 stars
Burgess Hill, United Kingdom
Jun 18, 2008

I stayed at the Four Seasons for 3 nights from 31st May and had the most amazing time.

We booked a transfer from Sydney airport through the hotel and the transfer was so smooth.

The check-in procedure is fantastic.

We booked an Opera House room and it was stunning. The rooms are smaller than i thought but offered all 5 star products and services.

Location is stunning and we managed to use trains, ferrys and taxis one minute from the hotel.

I would stay here again and advise anyone to give the Four Seasons a try.

Thank you for a great stay.

“Friday the 13th”

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

4 of 5 stars
Melbourne, Australia
Jun 17, 2008

For a special occasion we stayed in a suite with a great view of Sydney harbour, bridge and opera house. The room was very spacious with one of the most comfortable beds upon which I have had the pleasure of sleeping. The suite was very subdued and understated in nature and consequently didn't have that true luxury feel I associate with Four Seasons properties.

The Executive Club was an oasis of calm and quiet in the hotel with particularly nice staff and adequate facilities. Shame they didn't have the Veuve on tap like their Hong Kong counterpart.

The location of this hotel is ideal for getting around Sydney's waterfront, the Rocks and George St and has easy access to the Harbour bridge and the northern suburbs. The outdoor pool and jacuzzi would be fantastic during the warmer weather and I enjoyed a steam and sauna to ease a few aching muscles.

This hotel is really very good with committed, friendly staff but would benefit from an injection of cash and enthusiasm to spruce up some of its more dated and worn elements and could really improve its art work and floral displays.

“Great views!”

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

5 of 5 stars
Sydney, Australia
Jun 15, 2008

This hotel is quality all the way.

It's in a great location - near The Rocks and the rest of the city but not too close to the craziness of George St on a Saturday night. The views from our Full Harbour View Room on the 23rd floor were fantastic.

The bedroom was adequate in size with a large wardrobe. It was probably one of the most comfortable beds I've slept on in a hotel in a long time! The nightly turndown service was a very nice surprise! They prepare the room for you so that when you get back from being out, it's like coming home. Music is playing, there is an ice bucket and everything is neat and tidy.

The bathroom was nice with separate bath and shower (awesome shower head) and I really enjoyed using the L'Occitane products they provided. The bathrobes were a huge plus too.

We went to the hotel bar, which was really nice. Great service and choice of drinks. Buffet breakfast at Kables ($37AUD pp), although a little expensive, is enjoyable and very filling.

The Four Seasons is a wonderful hotel and I wouldn't hesitate staying there again.

“Great Location - Ok Hotel”

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

May 28, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Admittedly, we stayed at some very exceptional properties before we arrived at the Four Seasons in Sydney but I still expected more from The Four Seasons. First off, the rooms are eceptionally small - we're talking NY sized rooms or even smaller. The views were great though- we could see the Opera House and the bridge from our window. The bathrooms are pretty cramped as well and the shower had mold all along the bottom. The location of the hotel is great though - walking distance to major attractions. I was a little put off by a charge of $14 for 7.5 minutes of internet access in their business center - you're already paying a lot to stay there and for them to just charge egregiously for something as cheap as internet access is just inconsiderate to me. Breakfast was good and the selection was varied. One other major problem we had was we used the in-room safe to store valuables (mainly cash and camera) and were in a hurry to make our appointment at the bridge climb. I went to get our camera out and the safe malfunctioned so I called security to override the safe....it turned out that even the override wouldn't work. So we waited and waited and ended up finally just leaving for our big adventure without our camera (I was not happy about this).....the safe was finally opened when we got back but it took them quite some time (well over an hour). This was frustrating and concerning - what is there had been medication in the safe - it could have been trouble. Overall, the location was great but for the price and cramped space, I would try another hotel in the area.
