Clarion Suites Southern Cross Hotel, Sydney

Generally, the stay was ok. The size of the room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The toiletteries used are L'ocittane and they are really good. However, the service staffs can do with more smile on their face. They don't greet guest walking in and out of the hotel. Hotel is quite close to Darling harbour. Can reach by walking in about 10-15 min.

As we arrived at the hotel we were a little concerned by the style of the reception (just 2 table and the receptionists behind but we honestly had nothing to be concerned about, once we saw our room. It was more like an apartment.Will kitchen/ounge in one area and sizable bedroom with en suite in the other room. It was massive and with tv in both rooms our stay was perfect. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location took right to the centre of things in no time. The water taxi was class and brilliant for taking pics of the bridge & opera house. Awesome stay & we will definately use this hotel again.

I stayed here 13 & 14 April 2009 and this was an excellent hotel and suited my needs perfectly. It was my first time to Sydney and the hotel was easy to find and central. The staff were all very friendly and gave me lots of help and advice. My room was large with a small kitchen area and provided sachets of tea, coffee, etc. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms were clean and tidy. Also, I wasn't bothered by noise at all. The hotel was in easy walking distance of Darling Harbour and on the edge of Chinatown, also a short walk to the main shopping street. All the staff that I dealt with were extremely helpful and friendly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who was visiting Sydney. The hotel did not have dining facilites on site but had an agreement with the bar next door, however I did not eat there.
