This hotel location is in the middle of everything in Sydney's business district as well as the cruise port of Sydney. It provides dining options of its own, but there are many other options within a short walking distance of the hotel. Just a perfect location from which one can see the harbour bridge, and if no cruise ship is in, you can see the Opera House. Inside, the room is nice with double beds, big screen TV, You'll need a converter to plug in your electronics if you're not from Australia, but if the hotel is out of them, you can purchase one next door at the convenience store. Check-in is at 3PM, but if you arrive early, they will store your bags until you check in, and they'll loan you a key to use the restrooms in the meantime. Service is excellent. They provide iced tea and water for your convenience, Nice comfortable chairs and couches too. I'll stay here again.

The Holiday Inn Old Sydney was charming, clean, extremely comfortable, and we'll definitely be back! The staff was so helpful with our late check in, and delayed flight/check out. We are so grateful to them!

very nice hotel with excellent location to the "bridge" , harbor, and neighbor hood eateries and bars. Buffet breakfast was well stocked with a variety of cold and hot food items. Can not say enough on how accommodating the reception desk was in assisting my group with a problem not associated with the hotel. Lookout from the 8th floor was also a great view of the harbor etc.
