Excellent location when attending a function at the Opera House. Our standard room was excellent with a view over Circular Quay. Dinner at The Bar was excellent in value and taste. The decor is old world, calm and relaxing. We would certainly not hesitate to stay at Sir Stamford again and booking early ensures a good rate.

Outstanding hotel, great location and friendly service. Ideal for Opera House and Circular Quay ferries, and the city shops. Great restaurants around the hotel too.
Rooms are immaculate and large, bathrooms huge. You will never be disappointed.

I have stayed at the Sir Stamford on a few occasions and it never disappoints. It is ideally located a stone's throw from Circular Quay, Ferries, trains, the opera house and many restaurants and bars. It does not strictly overlook the Quay so people expecting wonderful views from every room may be disappointed. It is reminiscent of a boutique european Hotel in both size and look, except that the bedrooms are much bigger than the European boutique Hotels i have visited. I loved the size of my room, the very comfortable bed, the pillows and sheets, the standard of cleanliness and their breakfast that in my opinion is fit for a king. They also have a fabulous afternoon tea with some of the most delicious cakes and sandwiches in the City. The reservations man whose name I cannot recall was very helpful and quick to confirm my booking. I found all their staff very attentive and gracious like the whole Hotel. I would highly recommend this Hotel to people who love fresh air (they have opening doors on to juliette balconies) who appreciate fine old fashioned service, and who want to be in a prime location. Sydney is expensive but I find that the Sir Stamford always has very competitive rates and offers much more in space and comfort than many other Sydney Hotels in this price range. During the week it seemed to me that this was very much a business hotel so the lovely pool area was devoid of people which was great. It was almost like having a private pool!

location was good for the opera house but felt a bit wedged between big buidings. still got a view of the harbour however...the deluxe room came at a price though! the welcome canapes and fruit were average. staff were nice and friendly. the feel of the hotel was quite decadent old luxe but it felt a tad stuffy to me... would maybe book somewhere more out to the rocks next time.
