Only stayed one night for going to the Opera House . Love to come back.
Location was excellent. Very close to Circular Quay station. Also our room had a bath tub which was my personal favourite.
The room size was slightly smaller compared to the other place we stayed before.

Location was excellent. It was close to everything. The cocktails in the bar were very good. We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel and would definitely stay here again. The rooms were a good size, and the beds were comfortable.
The Room Service Options. After 11:00pm there are not that many options. The cocktails in a bottle were expensive and you couldn't order fries or anything hot.

Perfect location and exceptional staff.
I loved the attentiveness of the staff, from the concierge staff to the restaurant staff my stay was made all the more memorable by how they made me feel as an individual and not a number, specially when accomodating my special request in regards to the luggage and allowing e to stay in the waiting lounge (sorry I forgot the proper name) until I was ready to go. The location of the Marriott is also extremely convenient if like me you intend on boarding a cruise from circular quay. My wife and mother in law with mobility problems managed the very short walk to embarkation with no problems.
Apart from a few stray hairs in the bathroom the whole room was very clean. This is something minor that can be improved but in no means a deal breaker.

A great choice - I will definitely stay again!
I had a lovely stay - great location, great room and comfy bed.
Breakfast was busy and you had to wait for a table - and the scrambled eggs were not very nice. But it was still okay.

We had a beautiful weekend stay, painless check in and out, and flexible with our bags/parking at checkout time
The accommodation was a very short walking distance to Circular Quay and CBD, the staff and service were exceptional, including a very special Anniversary welcome, and wonderful amenities.

Wonderful welcoming staff, great location and amazing view from our room
Location was fantastic! Staff were extremely friendly.
Vents in room needed a clean (dust all over them), rooms looked like they needed new carpet/ bedside tables and a revamp of bathrooms.

We will stay at the Marriott Circular Quay each time we go on a cruise .
We were going on a cruise, so it was so close to the train station and the Overseas Cruise terminal. It was our Anniversary and they gave us a beautiful dessert plate. Thank you 😊

Grand old lady now showing its age!
Excellent Club Lounge facility, excellent breakfast buffet. We also enjoyed the dinner canape options as well. Our room had an excellent view of Sydney Harbour and the Opera House. Great location close to circular quay. The staff were very obliging, when you could locate one!
Our room was decidedly "dated," and requires a full refresh. Certainly wasn't at the Elite standard as advertised. Due to its closeness to Circular Quay the hotel is very popular with the cruise shop clientele. In fact too busy, unfortunately at the expense of meeting the requirements of its paying quests.

Great city stay
An excellent location near Circular Quay with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. Access to the CBD is easy and only a short light rail ride or even a good walk will get your there. The room was a decent size, comfortable and quiet
The lobby is very noisy

Lining up for breakfast would be better to get your own seats I thought

Best place to stay when travelling to Sydney!
Absolutely everything! The facilities and restaurants were beautiful!
We had an extra bed put in the room which wasn’t very comfy, and one of the staff members who delivered room service wasn’t the friendliest, but other than that the stay was perfect and all other staff members were absolutely lovely!
