We arrived in Sydney with half our luggage missing and Qantas not being any great help. The concierge, Keiron was brilliant, even offering to keep logging onto the website to keep us informed of any progress, and finally letting us know when they arrived. Great location, close to Opera House, Circular Quays and not too far from The Rocks and... More

Dear Valued Guest Delighted to hear about your travels, lost luggage and super service. We do feel for guests who arrive with no luggage - it seems to happen more often, but in 100% of cases in the past year there is 100% recovery! We have become experts at the various lost luggage systems and Qantas is one of the... More

Absolutely loved this hotel. It has a very romantic, old-Europe feel to it. The concierge could not have been more friendly or helpful, any time of day or night, and they gave fabulous restaurant recommendations. Bed and pillows were soft and plush. Location is just perfect - right on a park and a block away from the Opera House. It... More

The location simply cannot be beat! You are short walk from most of the major Sydney tourist attractions. For example, it is less than a 5 minute walk to: -Opera House -Botanical Gardens -Circular Quay train station and bus station (with a free bus that takes you most other places a tourist would want to go) -Circular Quay shops and...

I stayed at the Sir Stamford for two nights in October 2011 and it was a first rate experience. The hotel has an old world charm to it with lovely little nooks to sit and soak up the atmosphere. The rooms are furnished nicely with very large marble bathrooms and quite large a room overall. I ran a small event... More

It's all true, people aren't exaggerating. This place is great. First off, location is absolutely superb - 2 minute walk to Circular Quay, 3 minutes from the Opera House. Second, the service was unbelievably friendly for a hotel in a big city. I should particularly point out Kieran the head concierge, who was very welcoming, very helpful and a good... More

Dear Valued Guest We do appreciate your endorsement of our beautiful boutique hotel, especially the high praise for our Chief Concierge, Kieran Codd, who manages to be everywhere at once and yet always has a smile (or an umbrella!) for each guest departing and arriving. His knowledge of our city and it's nooks and crannies is such an asset to... More

We spent three nights at the Sir Stamford on a quick trip to Sydney and loved the hotel. It was smaller than other places we have stayed in Sydney, with a wonderful spacious suite, and very personal service from all staff with whom we dealt. The location was perfect for us too - almost every thing that we had planned... More

Dear Valued Guests We thank you for your "Retreat" comments about Sir Stamford at Circular Quay. We feel the same about being an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. The stunning sandstone exterior shields us from elements and the quiet ambience inside the hotel is one of rest and calm, unless we have a guest who chooses to... More

This was my second stay at Sir Stamford Circular Quay and both visits have been ideal. At $320 a night, its not a budget hotel by any means, but as soon as you walk down the red carpet to the automatic doors, you feel that you have stepped into luxury, but old fashioned luxury. They have a bit of an... More

We booked due to its great reviews. And we did find the hotel to meet and even exceed our expectations. What made the difference for us was the care and attention to detail by the porters and lobby staff.

Ok let's start with the location - wonderful, nice stroll to the Opera House and easy access to anything else. Rooms were large and well appointed. However, this hotel fits into the category of once was great but now is pretty tired and run down and is expensive for what you can get elsewhere. The towels were tiny and scratchy... More
