All good. When my wife and check in, I was asked for the reason for our stay. I said that it was our 52nd wedding anniversary. We went out for the day and when we came back to the hotel room, we found on the table a beautiful dessert with a Happy Anniversary message. That definetely completed our enjoyment for the day.

The setting in my room (Premium Guest room) was nice. There was a chair with a table to sit and relax which also allowed us to see the Sydney Harbour. The King Bed was clean and the bathroom was equipped with what we needed. Thank you.

Amazing staff & a very warm welcome
The tv in our room didn't work & had to be fixed by a member of maintenance. The pillows had no substance. Even with multiple they went completely flat. Didn't get much sleep as a result.

Overall, our stay at the Marriott was comfortable and convenient, with a great location, good facilities, and welcoming
The location of the Marriott Hotel is amazing. It’s very close to the Circular Quay LRT stop and the wharf, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. It’s also a great base if you want to explore the city, whether in the CBD or the surrounding areas. The beds were comfortable, which made our stay relaxing. Another big plus was the elevators — there are plenty of them, and they were fast, which saved us a lot of time moving around the hotel. The afternoon popcorn was also a thoughtful addition that added to the experience. The staff overall were welcoming and friendly — from the reception team to those assisting us throughout our stay, we really felt looked after. However, there was one exception: a very rude and arrogant staff member, which unfortunately left a negative impression. I’ll share more about that experience below.
While there were good parts of our visit, our experience with the engineer from the sauna, his name is Renato, was very negative — he came across as rude and arrogant when we asked for him to set up the sauna, which really affected our impression as paying guests. We just wanted to relax after a long day, and his behaviour deprived us from having to do that.

We enjoyed our weekend here. Loved the view from our room and the fact that we could walk to Circular Quay and The Opera
Excellent location, Room was clean and had a lovely view of Opera House. Easy walk to Circular Quay.
Would have been nice to have the pool heated.

Great place for a short stopover in Sydney city centre
Room was comfortable and bed extremely comfortable
Bathroom could be a bit more modern - felt a bit dated and didn't live up to the usual bathrooms I've experienced at other mariott hotels

We did have a wonderful stay and would definitely stay at the Marriott again
We chose that hotel due to its fabulous location to the rocks, ferries, train and the opera house.
We had booked the room for 3 persons but it was only set up for 2 people. We knew it was 2 double beds and that was fine but we requested more wine glasses and they never arrived. Also, our room wasn't replenished until 4pm on the Sunday afternoon, which I felt wasn't ideal.
