We stayed here in Feb for 5 days on a 3 city visit of Oz. Dubious at first as the hotels web site made it look stuffy, however the staff were very friendly and helpful, even without a tip. Hotel. This hotel has one of the best locations i imagine you could get in Syndey, it really is only 2... more

I booked the Sir Stanford via Wotif for our final night in Sydney (the previous 3 nights we stayed at the Sheraton at the Park, but the 4th night there was going to be too expensive due to demand). We paid A$280 for a Quay Lounge room (3rd floor, canapes, breakfast included). The Sir Stanford continually promotes itself as saying... more

I booked directly through the hotel website and booked the weekend deal for $315 per night which included one free movie, popcorn, free breakfast... more

The bed was very comfortable. The only bad comment would have to be the temperature. It was the middle of winter but we found the room was very... more

I hope things have changed since I stayed! The room was out of this world. Amazing but the staff were so rude and unhelpful. terrible. I do hope they have sorted that out. The hotel itself is a gem. more

My wife and I stayed at the Sir Stamford the night we were married before heading off overseas the next day. I highly rate this hotel - the room was pristine and was huge with a balcony overlooking the park. The staff were friendly and accommodating - our request for a late check out was no problem and little things... more

My wife and I spent 4 nights at the at end of April 2007 at Sir Stamford Circular Quay celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. The hotel is lovely with a wonderful worldly aspect to the public areas. The bar, as has been noted in other reviews, did have a certain old library feel about it, which we enjoyed. We stayed... more
