My husband and I stayed at this Holiday Inn for 3 nights during New Year's. We got a great deal compared to a lot of other hotels in Sydney during that time of the year and therefore didn't expect a lot. But we got a spacious and very clean room on the tenth floor that provided everything we needed. Even... More

We stayed here in June 2011, nice hotel, close to Sydney Harbor and short walk to main shopping area. Food was quite expensive, so we ate out every night. Views were ok, not directly over the harbor - be still nice. More

The three of us checked in at reception and went to our tiny pre booked room......only 2 single beds! When I rang reception they suggested my 15 year old daughter and 14 year old son could share!? They really thought this was OK, even admitting we had booked for three and they had noticed that the children were not toddlers!... More

A typical holday inn, nothing great. the location is at chinatown, that is about the only plus i could see - if you are looking for something in that area.. the monorail is a 1 minute walk away, but i heard that it is being shut down soon.... More

It is what it is - you come to expect a certain standard with Holiday Inn. There is nothing unique, different or special about it but it meets the business needs and is close to the Convention Centre and restaurants of Chinatown. We had a meeting here and it handled our conference needs well. More

I have stayed at the Holiday Inn a number if times and dislike it. Try to get a bottle opener - my experience in asking for something to open a beer on the room when dinning in the room is that they only have one opener in the whole hotel and hence can't provide one. I have had rooms with... More
