Was a last minute discussion to try and find rooms in Sydney. A big mistake on my part for leaving it so long. Most hotels were full. Was able to get 2 rooms with double beds at The Simon. Was unsure what to expect as we had never stayed at The Simon before. Was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by a profesional staff that had us registered and into our rooms in an instant. Both rooms were quite large. They had a living room area with a couch and chair, a work area with a long table and chairs, a seperate room for the bedroom with a door to led into the washroom area. The toilet and shower were in one room, with the powder room with a large mirror and sink in an adjoining area. The double beds, though a little small for my liking, were very comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant. The food was delicious. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.

A mixed bag

This hotel gave the designers too much leeway. Everything looks good, but the furniture is too big and clunky and not comfortable. The beds were too soft which was very hard on my wife’s back. On the plus side, our one meal (the restaurant was completely booked the first night of our stay) was wonderful. The view from the room was terrific and the location was perfect.
