Overall stay was amazing along with the friendly/helpful staff. We’ve always stayed at HolidayInn when we’re in Sydney for the weekend and I doubt that will ever change. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Well located and within walking distance to paddy’s markets, Chinatown and darling harbour. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. The only down side was there were 4 people in our room and only enough toiletries for 1/2 people but after talking to the desk it was fixed quickly. Nothing was any trouble. We will definitely be staying again.

The Holiday Inn at Darling Harbour is in reality a very poor hotel. We booked a two night stay over a Friday and Saturday. Firstly the downstairs Male toilets were far from clean. There are three cubicles and none were free of the personal remains of others.Secondly our room was not cleaned or made up after our first night's stay. The Bar and Restaurant was not operating and should you have breakfasts included in the stay as we did, you were handed vouchers and ushered out the door with a 150-200 metre walk to a breakfast venue in Darling Square. The parking was also offsite, which was full of difficulties in leaving. Perhaps the most outrageous was the deposit taken on top of the charge for the rooms which we are still seeking to be returned.
