Very good
Location is perfect - harbour, museum, opera house, botanic garden Good breakfast Welcome drinks GYM is the best of what usually you can see in hotels
Room a little bit smaller than wanted for 2 adults and 2 kids 15-20 minutes waiting time for breakfast - the quantity of guests vs capacity of the restaurant

Rooms bit small.
30 January 2026
Amazing. Is now our favourite place to stay when in Sydney or cruising allocation , nothing would be better. Couldn’t
Location and staff were amazing. The young lady at front area greeting as we walked in was the friendliest , lovely, natural staff sense ever encountered. (Feel bad I can’t remember her name) we encountered her a few times and ea and every time was outstanding. When leaving there she was again giving out lollipops and choc. 🥰
Absolutely nothing.

Busy cruise ship passenger hotel in fantastic location with modern, comfortable rooms
Location close to circular key, ferries, opera house and Royal Botanic garden’s.
Sprawling lobby and restaurants, busy and confusing.
28 January 2026
Highly recommended
It is a very old hotel, but the rooms are spacious, hotel has been very well facilitated and maintained. Bathrooms were clean. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Checking in and out was also quite smooth.
My mum left her insulin in the bar fridge. When we returned to the hotel 3hrs later, we were told the bar fridge was empty, then the manager came out and said nothing was found in the fridge, but they are going to check again. It was eventually located. I would expect such hotels would have a lost property procedure. Clearly it was not followed. We were not contacted about the insulin when it was first found and therefore the insulin was not stored properly.

Great hotel
This stay we were in a different room and it was much better, maintained and everything in working order. We enjoyed watching fireworks from our room.
Bedding isn't the best however everything else was great this stay.

A classic hotel with a very successful playbook.
Location is excellent. Our room was lovely and the staff at check in were terrific. Very clean and quiet.
The hotel is looking a tad tired and feels very old school “American” corporate. The restaurant staff look stiff and follow a script.

Great Location to go to Sydney
The Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay is a great choice for travellers who want to stay right in the heart of Sydney. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of Circular Quay, the Opera House, The Rocks, and public transport. The staff are friendly, professional, and always willing to help, which makes the stay pleasant and comfortable. The rooms are clean and well maintained, though some areas feel slightly dated compared to newer hotels. Facilities such as the gym, pool, and breakfast options are good, adding to the overall experience. While it can feel busy at times due to its central location, the convenience and service make it a reliable and enjoyable place to stay.
Bathroom is quite old and the smell of the carpets is quite unpleasant.

Would definitely stay here again- location was great and the staff very nice
Location and amenities

Very good
Location is great. Close to the ferries, harbour bridge, opera house, etc.
Facilities in the room seemed dated, e.g., tiles in the bathroom, shower, etc. I had expected better from Marriott.

Exceptional
Everything went well. We arrived after long overnight flight. Barbara at the front desk was able to get us a room quickly. The room was great...clean, comfortable, and spacious. We chose this hotel because we have stayed there before. It is close to the things we like to do and has easy access for transportation.
Nothing! Everything was great.
