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

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!

Lives up to it's reputation, great location - excellent service.
Location near Circular Quay is great - really close to public transport, restaurants, main attractions and the Opera House. Room was very clean and comfortable. Had a nice view of the bridge. Room was quiet and had all the amenities I needed, such as a fridge. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious and the toiletries provided were high-quality. Staff were extremely helpful and polite. I was very impressed by the service.
Not much. The phone in my room didn't work so I had to call reception from my mobile. I had breakfast included in my rate, but I wouldn't pay for the buffet. There are cafes nearby, the food choice was good, but not worth paying that much money (I think it's about $60).

Superb location with fabulous amenities
Superb location near Circular Quay for easy access to some events at the Sydney Opera House and airport train. Impeccable service, my room was even ready early before check-in. Free wifi, spacious room with plenty of amenities including a table with chairs as well as 2 thin-line recliners (great for reading and putting the feet up). Enormous shower cubicle and plenty of bench space in the bathroom for toiletries! Didn't use room service or eat breakfast - went out to enjoy Sydney instead. Would definitely splurge to stay again!
