I have stayed at this hotel a number of times but not in the last 10 months and I must say the food has dramatically gone down hill. I remember having one of my best meals there in the restaraunt and it's disappointing to see the food take a turn for the worst . More

Very Spacious and clean room. One down turn is with the breakfast as it is not worth of money, Most of the chaving dishes are almost empty. Had a room... More

We booked the Swissotel through the Wotif 12th birthday deal so paid very little. However we have stayed in most of the 5 star hotels in the city and the Swissotel is a poor comparison. Had we liked it we would have happily paid the full price for a later stay. The main issue is the rooms. They are very... More

This would have to be the worst hotel I have ever had the misfortune to stay in. The first room I was given had been absolutely thrashed - the TV remote didn't work well, the safe had only a few numbers that worked (which kind of compromised the integrity of the safe really), the hair dryer didn't work, the toilet...

We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed the handy location in central Sydney, quiet comfortable rooms, cosy beds and one amazingly helpful Australian staff member at the front door. The only negative comments are about the service in the restaurant - we left after at least 20 mins of not being served and that room service had a $5 delivery charge... More

Firstly, the hotel is extremely hard to find. It... More
