Excellent hotel and I strongly recommend it. I travel extensively and I am picky about my accommodations. I had some reservations after reading couple of the disapproving trip advisor reviews, but Holiday Inn Old Sydney totally surpassed my expectations. Here’s what I liked. 1) Excellent location (Rocks) with lot of character and choice of good restaurants/bars. Right around the corner... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Old Sydney for 3 nights in January 2012 and were very pleased with our choice. The hotel is easy to get to using public transport from the airport, being a 400m walk from Circular Quay station. It's also in the centre of The Rocks and within an easy walk of the Botanical Gardens, Sydney... More

I stayed here for 6 nights from Jan 29, 2012. The hotel is fine. The staff are very helpful. The pool wasn't a factor for me since it was raining during most of my visit and I was here on business. The breakfast setup is fine, but pricey, $18AUD for continental and $27AUD for full breakfast. There's an egg station... More

The best thing about this hotel is the superb location, right in the heart of The Rocks close to Circular Quay it's an ideal tourist location. The hotel itself is perhaps in need of some refurbishment but having said that it's clean and comfortable with helpful staff. We didn't use the restuarant, there being too many interesting eating places near... More

Great Hotel, Great Location, Great Views! Really enjoyed this hotel really a good value and close to Oreint Hotel bar, street fairs, shopping, the harbour. People are friendly and efficient. The views from the roof top pool are spectacular. We will come back again next year. More

This hotel is tourist central for Sydney - overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera house in the lively Rocks area. Rooms and service are fine for the price. Only issues are no real cosy bar - though plenty outside, and the wifi was very slow when I visited in 2011. Train from the airport is very easy if... More

We were going to a mates wedding across the road at the Quay passenger terminal, 60 seconds away. The hotel is in a great old area of Sydney, beautiful old colonial buildings, the Harbour bridge is just north of the hotel and the Opera house is directly East. The views from the roof are amazing. If you stay there make... More

We stayed at this motel for one night prior to heading off on a cruise. The location was perfect, close to everything that we needed, last minute grocery items, have a walk around and look at the sites eg Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, circular quay. The view from the top was awesome and a bonus. The room was... More

How incredible this hotel is! Location - quiet, historical, and perfectly positioned. The hotel - again historical, beautiful, inviting and relaxing. The foyer's decor, lounge chairs and twilight ambiance are so inviting it is hard to walk past to your room without stopping. The staff - brilliant every time I stayed there. I agree the rooms are dated but they... More
