Good location

Pros: Great location. Walking distance from most of the CBD attractions. Good Gym.
Cons: The room layout was poor. Very different to the room we had previously.
Location: Darling harbour, shopping area QVB building, dinning and cafes….
Great location, last year we stayed in the hotel and had a great experience. The room was in better location and better arranged. This time we had a very noisy neighbour. We could here him through the wall and the room and shower had a strange set up. The shower was designed for disabled clients. Not sure why this room was allocated to us. Quite disappointing as last time we recommend the hotel to a number of friends and this time we left disappointed with the room we had.

Great location. 10 mins walk to darling harbour. The only negatives were the AC in the room that was only able to be set to 24 degrees no higher and was freezing, switch it off and the room became quite stuffy. Very expensive parking at $55 per night which was apparently at a discount for hotel guests.

Central Location

Pros: It is in a great central location, has lots of history and charm yet the amenities and room are first class.
Cons: Buffet breakfast - good variety, but not replenished, leaving dishes empty.
Location: Easy walk to Darling Harbour, Circular Quay and the Pitt Street Mall so plenty to do for everyone.
We had a refurbished room that was amazing.. first class linen, comfortable bed & bedding and the best shower I have ever seen in a hotel. Only negative was the buffet breakfast. Whilst there was lots of variety, many dishes were left empty and not replenished. Overall I would stay there again.

Dear Ivanka, Great to see that our location was perfectly suited to your needs and that you had an overall enjoyable stay with us. I do apologise if you found the replenishment of items on our breakfast buffet to be a little slow. This is certainly not our intention and I have shared your feedback with our Executive Chef for improvement in this area. I appreciate your constructive feedback and hope to see you again.

Stayed over the June long weekend. The Grace is a lovely hotel in great location near QVB and shopping district a short walk to Darling Harbour. Rooms were a good size and very quiet. Would have been 5 stars except mould round shower area.

Newly renovated room

Often stay here for its convenience to the CBD. Our room was newly renovated and while nicely done and very comfy I feel it didn’t do anything to echo the beautiful style and elegance of the building around it. Staff were all wonderful.A

Great location, and friendly hotel staff. Easy walking distance to most of the CBD, the Rocks, Circular Quay and Darling Harbour. Vapiano restaurant is on the ground floor, and has flexible opening hours to accommodate easy dining at times that suit (especially before Vivid). Comfortable king size bed, and chic rooms. We arrived early in the day before the room was ready, and no trouble cloaking our bags. Staff brought bags up to our room when we checked in. Hassle free stay, and friendly, courteous staff. Will stay here again.
