Convenient location. Clean and tidy. Beautiful reception. Amazing view from roof top pool area. Anyone going for Vivid would appreciate it. Only one annoying thing and that wasn't a big issue, is that elevator did not stop on the floor, and half a flight of stairs to carry bags up and down. Might be an issue for someone not physically able but no problem for our group.

The location is great, right in behind Campbell Cove and close to the harbour. It was very easy to get around in such a nice area. The hotel is dated but we were happy with the room, which was clean and the bed was comfortable. We would stay again.

Our stay at the Sydney Holiday Hotel was far from perfect. We arrived at the hotel, no service to help baggage to room, there was a luggage trolley for us to use. The room was great except for shower over bath and as an 87 year old, It impossible for me to get in or out. When we returned later in the day the room was freezing, we tried to adjust the tempurture but nothing would work. A Technician was called and he adjusted the air con and reset it. We returned to the room after dinner the room was still freezing. No one was available to fix the air con. We froze that night. As we left in the morning we checked with the service desk making sure they knew the problem and that it would be fixed. We returned in the afternoon, no one had fixed the air con. A Technician arrived tried for about 30 minuted but could not fix it, fetch an electrician who tried to fix it without success. They arranged a change of room but was only offered queen bed and pull out single. I would not ask my support worker to sleep on a pull out single. The manager went back to see what else was available. We waited for abour 1 hour with no results. Decided to stay in room if air conditioner could be completely turned off and extra blankets provided. They also offered free breakfast, which we accepted. The staff were polite and helpful. Not the nest weekend
