Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney

For our honeymoon, my husband booked this hotel and I was amazed with how close it is to Circular Quay. We didn’t need to walk very far to get around all the touristy areas. The bedroom and bathroom was impressive for a Radisson hotel; big and roomy. I loved the bathtub since it has bubble jets and you can get a bubble bath going. The bed was comfortable and nice; it’s not a Sleep Number mattress though (I thought all Radisson’s had Sleep Number mattresses). Wouldn’t mind staying here again!

We have been here 3 nights so far and have only have a few minimal complaints.
Check in was a breeze and friendly. We made our jet lagged tired behinds upstairs to find a very nice and comfortable room. It’s decorated in modern dark wood furniture. Lots of natural light coming from the large window that over look the CBD. There is a desk with a desk chair and also a side table with a drawer that contains stationary. There is a comfortable sitting chair with a side end table. A very comfortable king sized bed with 2 night stands. A tv stand that has a refrigerator and mini bar. The bathroom is large and lovely; a stand in shower stall with great water pressure and also a large soak tub.
The staff have been very friendly; we’ve had interactions with the fax bar staff, front desk, and housekeeping so far.
Cons
Let me begin by saying that we are here for 23 nights, which I anticipate is not the norm. Due to this long stay I would say that there is not enough storage for 2 people in the room. I have had to store our clothes in places that were not intended for clothes such as the night stand and also the stationary cabinet. We had to ask for additional hangers. The housekeeping staff were awesome; I called for additional hangers, a blanket, and pillows and they were sent up almost immediately!
The bathroom sink constantly drips; you have to be VERY aware of being sure that you tighten the knobs, even past where you would think would be suffice
There isn’t a recycling bin in the room, I am assuming they sort it down stairs?! We have been putting what we think is recyclable next to the bin in our room to make it easier!??
**this is not a con just a side note of sorts***
I love how Eco conscious try are; telling you to put towels you want switched out in the tub (as most hotels do at this point) and also a card on the bed if you want your bedding cleaned.
The buffet breakfast is not worth it. This is our experience at every hotel we’ve stayed in. We thought it was over priced for the food that was offered. We have found the food in the local shops to be tastier for half the price. We will probably try room service at least once to see if that is worth it since the food at the fax bar was so good.
But as I stated earlier, my complaints are minimal, feel almost nit picky to me at the moment. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and would most certainly stay here again!

Gorgeous hotel located close to Circular Quay, The Opera House and many other famous Sydney attractions. The rooms are comfortable and luxuriously appointed and the staff are extremely helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

Only come here in the morning for coffee. The barista is really good. The service is very friendly.
This is a quiet place to have coffee, typical of a major hotel lobby. You’re not going to be hanging out with the cool people. But at the same time your arse isn’t going to get sore from sitting on a piece of off-​cut wood that loosely resembles a «chair», in some exposed brick, back alley, pet friendly, grunge style café. The seats in Bistro Fax are comfortable and the atmosphere is pleasant and you don’t have to watch someone else’s dog lick its own private parts.
As an added bonus, there is free WiFi that comes very close to broadband speed, unlike the sluggish GPRS speeds offered for free in some establishments.
Actually, please ignore my rating. The place is shit and I want it for myself :-)

A smaller boutique style hotel located in the heart of Sydney within walking distance of all the major sights including the opera house, ferry terminal (circular quay) and iconic harbor bridge.
We stayed here for 3 nights as a part of a two week holiday in Australia and to celebrate the new year. We had two rooms on the 1^st floor (really the third the way we count them in the USA) with really high ceilings and a long marble bathroom. We switched one of the rooms after the first night so we could have a king size bed. The hotel was very helpful in making this change and even moved our luggage for us while we were out sight seeing.
Altogether a pleasant stay made even more pleasant by the gracious and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
P. s. The hotel has a nice bar in the lobby and a restaurant as well.

Large comfortable room with friendly service in a convenient location of the CBD. We arrived around 11:30 am, and while our room was not yet ready, the front desk called housekeeping to work on our room and had it ready by 13:00. Check in was easy enough, our bags were held by the bellman while we grabbed lunch and were placed in our room. The concierge was very helpful, advising us of more local neighborhoods and touristy areas/​activities to avoid. Concierge seemed generally interested in our activities and suggested some great ideas to maximize our couple of days in sydney.
Room was spacious, clean, and cooled down very quickly. The bathroom was large with a shower and tub, AND great water pressure! We were given a bowl of fruit and mineral water as gold status. Beds were comfortable and additional pillows were easily ordered to our room. Only downside was smaller television and sometimes slow elevator service. Otherwise, could not have asked for a better stay at the radisson blu sydney!

Clean hotel room with a great location. We took the airport train to Wynyard Station. I had emailed ahead of time and the staff gave me excellent walking directions. We got in pretty late, around 11pm, and a bellhop was ready to take our luggage. We checked in quickly and got lots of information about the area. We told the bellhop our room number to have our luggage brought up and off to the room we went.
The room is spacious enough for two people and clean. There is a small fridge with a mini bar and just enough space for you to put your own water in. No microwave though. The luggage came shortly after we got in and the bellhop was nice enough to give us directions to walk to the Opera House.
Overall, the staff was friendly and the location is great for walking to The Rocks and the Opera House. I would highly recommend.

A lovely hotel with polite staff. No complaints. The room was clean and well-​appointed.

Always stay here when visiting on business. Well located for CBD meetings with relative 5star value. The building has history being formerly the home for Fairfax and The Bank of New South Wales.

Really great hotel. When we were looking for hotels in Sydney, all the maps showed this place as if it was a pretty good distance from the Quay. Not the case. It is pretty close to the Quay, and in a good location to go a little further south. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a pretty serious room. The view wasn’t great, but we had a huge room and bathroom. They also gave us champagne on our anniversary. The concierge was pretty helpful, but some of the recommendations they made were a little misguided. Free wifi, very clean, great stay.

We arrived too early for check in and were told that we would have to wait till 1pm to gain access to our room. All fine and good as we’re booked into a ‘business class room’ meaning that we get access to their Business Class Lounge with free snacks (sandwiches, fruit, pastries, biscuits) and drinks (Santa Vittoria water, juices, Nespresso coffee, a good variety of Twinings tea), plus free wifi, all in a lounge/​dining space that resembles a posher version of a nice Qantas Club Lounge.
1 o’clock comes and goes and there’s no call to tell us our room is ready. 2 o’clock and I’m starting to get fed up hanging around in the lounge so I ask a staff member to speak to Reception to find out the status of our room. Staff member gets back to me telling me that Reception will call back when the room is ready. It’s almost 3.30pm when I decide to contact Reception myself. Apparently, they couldn’t get through to us on the phone.
Finally we get into our room around 4pm but our bag hasn’t been brought up as they had informed us it would be. My patient man tells me to give them half an hour. I wait half an hour and then call to ask for our bag. Bag is then delivered promptly, and 10 minutes after this, the concierge is at the door with fresh fruit and bottled water for us. Nice touch. All is forgiven.
