Sofitel Sydney Wentworth

Great hotel in a central location just a few minutes walk from Circular Quay. The Concierge and desk staff were exceptional, helpful, knowledgeable and very professional. The rooms were comfortable, very clean, air conditioned with a small fridge and bar, TV and good lighting. The bed was comfortable and the linen very good quality. Breakfast was very comprehensive, a good choice, buffet with the option to order bespoke dishes if required. No problems even when crowded.

We didn't use the restaurant or bar, as usual for Hotels the prices were 30% above average for the area and when you are a short walk from a huge choice they didn't stand a chance. Almost none of the staff had English as a first language which did mean a couple of orders at breakfast were misunderstood.

Check in was swift and easy All interactions with staff were great Beds very comfortable Fantastic location Excellent bar

Showers over bath are a little dated Lifts were a little noisy and busy all night Windows didn't open

Loved the club access! Everyone was SUPER accommodating! The location was outstanding! 5-7 minute walk to Sydney opera house, bus stop right outside for bus to Bondi Beach. Food was delicious! Main ferry hun also a 5-7 minute walk.

The shower set up was awkward as the shower head really wasn't that great--only had one setting where the water shot straight out and because of the awkward shower set up, it felt like the entire bathroom was drenched after every shower. It wasn't enough of a bother to hinder our entire stay, but it was annoying.

perfectly located and within walking distance to various attractions such as the opera house, royal botanical gardens, circular quay and many more. I particularly loved the ambience of the lobby and the staff were exceptionally friendly. My room was clean, quiet and the bed was amazingly comfortable. I ordered breakfast and it didn’t take very long before it was delivered to my room. I had read others reviews of the elevators, however I didn’t have any issues with them.

Not really their fault but due to a knee injury I found it difficult getting into the shower as it was inside the bath. I would have preferred a walk in shower but it was still sufficient for my needs.

The staff honestly made the stay amazing - I believe it was Daisy who helped me and was amazing, very kind and personable. The bed was so super comfy.

I did think a lot of the appliances/fixtures/ whole room was very old and really contrasted the classy modern foyer. The key entry was a bit Dodgy and would take many tries. The shower was also very disappointing, it didn’t get hot and didn’t have great pressure. If the people weren’t as lovely and helpful as they were I would be disappointed with the money I spent vs the quality of the room.

Good central location, walking distance to opera house and shopping centres, very comfortable bed, clean room, friendly staff

Bath tub was tiny, conditioner, shampoo etc was placed high on the wall so in order to use this you have to physically stand up in the bath and sit back down again. Also there is a shower tray on the wall for personal items but it is very low down at the side of the bath tub, so you have to be careful not to catch your arm on this when using the bath as it is metal and almost unavoidable.

I needed a document urgently printed. I walked around the city for over an hour looking for somewhere to print it. When I got back to the hotel, the receptionist printed it for me promptly and for free. The concierge staff were also really polite and friendly. I will come back and stay either next month or the following month. I also like being next to the chocolate store. I chose the hotel for its prime location and it is a Sydney institution.

The lifts are really slow. Lots of people were jammed to the front of the lift and I heard them complaining a lot. This was only this morning. Maybe to avoid this you can post up a sign saying “apologies for the wait” or try and stagger the check-in, check out times.

We had booked one room with Booking.com to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary but we’re not particularly impressed with the room booked. I had rung the hotel directly to add an additional night’s stay and we were delighted that Vanessa, at reception, arranged for us to have a much nicer, larger suite for us for our second night. My husband and I were both impressed with the professionalism and care shown by Vanessa.

Disappointed in the size of the Classic King room.

Beds were some of the best I’ve stayed in and room was clean, comfy and well appointed. Staff were excellent.

Car parking service very chaotic… usually valet parking for that price I’d expect to be driving up to hotel and not having to negotiate around block to park in what was the most chaotic carpark I’ve seen! Esp since as a Wilson Member I could have parked at any number of other close car parks myself. Also Breakfast could have been better organised as the queue outside was long. Perhaps two lines, one for those who have pre-booked and one for those who didn’t? Or getting people to select a timed section when they checkin?

The hotel staff knew it was our anniversary and they surprised us with the most gorgeous petit fours and sparkling wine delivered to our room on our arrival. It was a lovely way to be welcomed. The staff were all so lovely and genuinely friendly. Our room was really nice - comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you for making our anniversary even more special.

The mini bar was empty. It would be great to have some sprits and mixers in the room to make our own cocktails too!
