Apart from the duvet failure the stay was fine. A future visit to Vivid will involve this hotel.

Found front desk staff friendly and very helpful. They were inundated due to Vivid. Our rooms were not ready, but made our wait comfortable. The room was clean, comfy beds. Breakfast is delicious, however some wait staff were not very helpful. They were very busy, however some requests were deliberately ignored.

The service was impeccable from start to finish. Although a higher end hotel, our family felt so welcomed and accommodated. The staff offered drinks on arrival and a small activity bag for our children. The buffet breakfast had a great variety and delicious food.
The bed wasn’t overly comfortable.

Sydney Marriott, we loved you ♥️
The rooms were fabulous, one had a view of the bridge. Comfy beds, hot shower, lush towels Lovely food in the restaurant Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly .. so attentive and efficient Great location, two minutes walk from circular quay
Never enough coffee, teabags and milk in any hotel we stay in, so no surprise there A little more signage for where to eat in the hotel would have helped us not be embarrassed by asking for the cheaper evening meals in the Silvester (which is an ala carte price range)

Excellent!
Beautiful property, we were greeted warmly and welcomed by staff and given glow stick bracelets for Vivid. I asked for a quiet room and was given a perfect one. Walking distance from the harbor was a bonus!

As usual paying almost 2% credit card fee , just to pay. Reception staff were lovely but asking same question twice maybe indicates a bit of work on listening!

Excellent! we would definitely choose to come back to the Marriott if we ever go back to Sydney
Staff were amazing and the food was delicious!
The only bug bear was the wait for coffees. The coffees were lukewarm by the time they arrived with us having to wait 20mins to receive them. The dining hall was busy so staff were doing their best but it would be easier if there were machines where customers could help themselves.
