The Grace is brilliantly situated right in the heart of Sydney, no more than 15 mins walk to most of the tourist attractions. Its a large hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, the rooms are a good size and very clean. The only downside was the restaurant; its small and breakfast isn't great. Drinks and evening food are found in the attached 'pub', again not ideal. Much better option is to eat out in the evenings and there's plenty of choice at Darling Harbour only a 10 minute stroll away. At this price, its a good choice for anyone wanting a conveniently situated hotel. As well as the usual sights, the aquarium at Darling Harbour is worth a visit, the botanical gardens are fascinating, and whale watching at migration time is a MUST DO!

Booked this room direct with the hotel. Was offered a rate including breakfast, gave credit card details to secure the booking and was given a confirmation number...
Arrived late to the hotel due to flight delays, and given a smoking room which had a most unpleasant odour. Given that it was alread 11pm didn't have the energy to ask for another room... although in retrospect should have.
Went to breakfast and told it was not included!! There was further problems booking out also.
So... would recommend you get a written confirmation of your booking. I guess the problem with booking on the phone is that you don't have those little boxes to tick for non-smoking room!
Recommend you check all details thoroughly....
Otherwise the hotel was fine but won't be returning.

On a recent 5 week holiday in Australia we stayed at the Grace Hotel It is right in the centre of the CBD and about 15 mins from Circular Quay and in easy rach of Darling harbour etc. Overall it is a business rather than a tourist hotel, comfortable but not luxurious. Rooms of a good size but sometimes odd shapes as the building was a former office building adapted to new use. Beds comfortable. Rooms clean and well furished.Can be noisy as it is on busy intersection and seems to be used by coach groups.so choose a room at the back.Breakfast not a good point - in fact you get better value in the QVB nearby. If you want to be at the centre of the action near the ferries etc then choose a hotel nearer the waterfront - but the cost will be higher there than at the Grace. OVERALL value for money.

Wonderful hotel, very helpful staff.
Rooms are very very nice and it also has a pool / jacuzzi / gym free to use as you want. Also very good location - just a 5 minute walk to Darling Harbour and the Aquarium etc. Very nice breakfast...and it was free as we stayed more than 3 nights.
What more could you want!
