Stayed at Saville 2 Bond St the weekend before Christmas. Couldn't of hoped for a better hotel to suit the weekend of xmas shopping, work and catching up with friends.


Only major downside is the fee for Broadband (really this needs to be incorporated into room rates). There is a steep charge for parking as well ($35 per day) but that's Sydney for you and you have to wear it if you're going to drive..

The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. Full well decked out kitchen (including mini bar) and laundry. A fantastic touch was full size washing/ detergent packs. No need to find a convenience store to upgrade from the usual sample packs you get in serviced hotel apartments that only last one wash.

Reception were accommodating to my request to be moved to a higher floor after I saw the view from the room they initially gave me. I did not want to spend the weekend looking out onto a brick wall! That was in an executive room on lvl 8 (and I suspect) all the ones below. I was moved to level 12 with no fuss and the view of George st and neighbouring office blocks was just fine. No post card but more personality then a brick wall!

I was more then happy with the executive studio - it was open planned with the bed pretty much in it's own space between the kitchen and the bathroom (which is a little small) - with a full size built in wardrobe. The bed was extremely comfortable! Past the kitchen was the lounge / dining area with sofa bed, arm chair and dining table for 4. There is also a small balcony. Non smoking rooms that really did seem like no one had ever smoked in them before which was great.

Overall $169 (no parking, broadband included) for the studio is a great rate for what you get. In fact it's pretty hard to beat in Sydney. The hotel feels new and is exceptionally clean and well designed.

The pool on the roof level is great if the weather is good - small view of the harbour.

I had a major hassle when checking out - getting charge twice for my room! On arrival back home 10 days later I noticed the $500 'security deposit' they had taken had also not been returned to my card. A number of phone calls later the situation was sorted out - but having all that money taken out over the xmas period didn't make me too happy. Hotels should only take an imprint of credit cards and not freeze funds. No matter what they say they are never returned with in 'a few days time'.

let me just start by saying that the saville hotel in sydney was the most disgusting hotel i have ever stayed in! the rooms smelt like damp carpet and the level of service was utterly ridiculous. the staff seemed more on the ball than management. clueless some were!
meant to be a 4 star hotel, i wouldn't even grant this hotel half a star. i'd rather stay in a backpackers hostel and pay double, (not to mention the fact that the saville hotel is severely over priced)
if you are planning a trip to this hotel i sincerly urge you to rethink your decision, trust me you will regret it, just like i and the others i stayed with do.

This hotel was booked on our behalf by Trailfinders. Withe my 17 year old son accompanying my wife and self, a two bedroomed apartment was the ideal way to avoid the dreaded single room supplements. And this hotel was an ideal choice.

Spacious comfortable rooms, complete with flat screen TVs in the lounge and master bedroom, and a complete kitchenette with a washing machine and tumble dryer included in the room and in the charges. Clean warm and comfortable.

The hotel has its' own small restaurant, but being located right in the centre of the business district, there were many places to eat out locally at bargain prices. Just down the road was Jacksons at George - and their superb cooked breakfasts at about $10 each and unlimited coffee and orange juice for another $2.50. Watch out for local eateries offering $10 steaks in the evening - we were never disappointed by one of these!

The hotel is perfectly located - a couple of minutes walk from Wynards station, 5 minutes to Circular Quay, 10 minutes to the Queen Victoria Building Mall (QVB). In short, you didn't waste time or money getting anywhere in central Sydney - you were there.

The icing on the cake with this hotel was the level of service that was provided in a friendly manner all of the time. Particularly when we first arrived at 6.45 in the morning bleary eyed having flown in direct from London with just a couple of hours break in Singapore. We asked if we could leave our bags with reception until our room was available for check-in. Bless them - they moved things around and found an excellent room that we could go straight into and stay. That enabled us to crash out for a few hours and recover from our journey. They'll never know how much that gesture was appreciated, but it truly was and they didn't charge us a penny for it. That was the kind of hospitality we experienced for the rest of our stay as well. I cannot recommend too highly.

We arrived at 09:30 AM on New Years Eve somewhat tired after a poor flight from Singapore. I had read the previous reviews about noise levels and as it was New Years Eve had requested a high level room.

When we checked in we were given a room on the first floor, and even after some discussion was told this was the only one available. We went to the room which was located on the corner of George Street and an Alley way down the side. It was gloomy and smelled of smoke, and was noisey at 10:00 in the morning.

We went back to reception and was tol that the manager had found a 2 bed appartment on the 9th floor if we were not hppy with the previous one.

A much better room and location, however the rooms are showing signs of age and could do with a major makeover. The rooms were however clean, and cleaned on a daily basis.

Interesting views over George Street, New Years eve was noisey with the windows open, however the Double Glazing worked very well.

Location is brilliant for the whole of Sydney, we were able to pop back during the day to drop shopping, pick up water etc.

The cooking and washing facilities are OK, more for doing a pizza than anything more elaborate, however they do have all the things you would need to cook a 3 course meal.

Overall a good place to spend 5 days in the City, would go back again.
