Will definitely stay again.
It was a very quiet room. Breakfast buffet had a wide variety of choices and good service. Room service dinner was divine.
Would have liked to have been asked if I wanted mini bar set up at time of booking so that it was ready for when I checked in.

An enjoyable stay. Just right to start off our holiday cruise.
Location and little extras like a drink on arrival.
While the facilities in general were good, the pool was not heated as expected and steam room was under refurbishment.

Comfortable and convenient
Location and speedy service. Pool especially excellent.
Poor info re use of Health Centre, eg needs $2 coin lockers and a room key to use the pool, leaving my room keys exposed on the side of the pool. Advised staff of faulty light on day one, but never addressed by day 6.

Excellent hotel, made for a perfect weekend.
Location was ideal and very close to Circular Quay but the Hotel was very quiet, room was spacious and modern with fast Wi-Fi. We used buses one day and ferries the next, both being in close proximity to the hotel. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
Hard to fault anything.

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.

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.
