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.

The room is very dated. We left our bags and we returned at 6pm, our bags weren't taken to our room, and I know why steps to rooms off the lift are very difficult to navigate. Staff were friendly and location was fantastic. Over priced though low water pressure, shower over bath, very small bathroom and small room.

We have stayed many times before and love it however bathrooms really need an upgrade. Also unfortunately a staff member charged an extra night’s accommodation after we had checked out and now have to wait up to 5 days for the refund which is very inconvenient as funds are very tight at the moment.

Although the decor is a little dated, this hotel's location is an absolute winner if you are heading out of Sydney on a cruise. Staff are very accommodating and check-in processes very smooth. We have stayed here numerous times and love its access to iconic views and great walks around the harbour and through The Rocks.
