Top Cockatoo Island Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Sydney

8/10 Good

"Excellent staffs, services, good location and amazing view of Opera house from the room."

Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour

4/10 Poor

"We stayed at Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour for one night to celebrate my son’s birthday, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. There was no warm welcome on arrival, and no complimentary birthday treat or cake for the celebration. The room did not feel clean—the carpet was dusty, the bathroom had mould and an unpleasant smell, and one of the face towels had what appeared to be a red stain on it. We were also surprised that there was no complimentary bottled water or basic toiletries provided. Overall, the cleanliness and service did not meet our expectations, and the stay was not as special as we had hoped for our son’s birthday celebration."

Great Southern Hotel Sydney

6/10 Okay

"It’s such a great location - just a hop, skip & jump away from Central Station - we always stay here. The rooms are fairly small but have a bed and ensuite; and the restaurant is fantastic. Sadly, our room this time around was right on George St - and it was so noisy! We were lucky to get more than 4 hrs sleep each night. Life in the big city hey …"

ADGE Hotel & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Shhhh. Please keep just how good this hotel is quiet as I can always find a room here and at a fair rate and it fulfils my needs every time. This is my new favourite Sydney hotel - I used to stay here years ago when it waqs the Cambridge - but this new rebranded and redeveloped Adge is so much better. I recently recommended tow friends from Hong Kong stay here and they also loved it. And the staff is superb."

View Sydney

8/10 Good

"its a lovely hotel with wonderful views although the sound of trains underneath was annoying . i will need to request next time to get a different room as when I stayed the last time I'm pretty sure I didnt feel the trains. Will definitely stay again and take my dogs. Another comment is I feel the rooms need a little maintenance but still lovely place to stay Thank you"
