  • Overall: Rating of 4.7 out of 5

    "Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) recently stayed at the InterContinental Hotel in Sydney - beautiful hotel in an ideal location." source Hotels.com

    "great hotel in a great area but concierge was not too helpful and was rude." source Hotels.com

    "only complaint we had was, it took them a long time to fix our toilet, otherwise, our overall hotel experience met our standards." source Travelocity

    "I would highly recommend staying in the Intercontinental Sydney hotel." source Travelocity

    "Would highly recommend this hotel." source Hotels.com

  • Service: Rating of 4.7 out of 5

    "the only thing that the hotel needs to improve is the elevator service." source Hotels.com

    "Although we had not requested the nightly turn-down service, which normally costs five dollars a day, we couldnÂ’t manage to get it discontinued in spite of multiple requests. At fifty cents a minute, the WiFi rate was the highest weÂ’d ever paid, so we more often toted our laptop to a nearby MacDonaldÂ’s, where the service was free." source Expedia

  • Location: Rating of 5.0 out of 5

    "We had a great time and its in a great location. My only complaint is that either this or the actual hotel website described city and harbor views from the rooftop bar or the roof area in general but only Intercontinental Club members are allowed up there." source Orbitz

    "Very comfortable, fantastic location with views over the botanical gardens and a really really great attitude from the staff from bellboy to Manager." source Hotels.com

    "This hotel was perfectly located adjacent to the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain district of Sydney (Museum, State Library)." source Expedia

    "Excellent location, too, we walked literally everywhere and saw everything we wanted to see." source Hotels.com

    "The location was incredible, a short walk to Circle Quay and the Rocks, with views of both the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. The location was reasonably close to anywhere you may want to check out if you are playing tourist." source Expedia

  • Value: Rating of 4.5 out of 5

    "The staff let us check in early and check out late with no extra cost." source Expedia

  • Room: Rating of 4.8 out of 5

    "Beautiful rooms and public spaces." source Hotels.com
