“Bingo - Sydney's top hotel.”

5/6 found this review helpful

Wow, what a stunning view and position, and what a pleasure it was to stay here for five days whilst hubby was running a conference. I absolutely loved Quay Grand as we had booked a one bedroom suite overlooking Sydney harbour and the bridge. One would never ever tire of this view as it’s stunning and also highly entertaining watching the ferries come and go.

The hotel is located in absolute prime position just two minutes away from the Opera House and one minute from Circular Quay. The Botanical Gardens are across the road and the Rocks just a quick 5 minute stroll. Bingo…..Sydney’s top Hotel.

Our apartment was roomy with a separate bedroom which looked directly out onto the water . The lounge combined dining room had spectacular views of Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge and with a glass of vino at night on the balcony we fell totally in love with our own city.

The apartment also has a DVD player, broadband and two plasma TV’s. The bathroom is spacious with a lovely spa bath and walk-in shower.

The hotel has a fabulous bar located on the mezzanine level 3 called ECQ and its fun sipping cocktails overlooking our gorgeous city. The restaurant Quadrant is fine dining and expensive but we did enjoy our meal. There is also Eastbank Restaurant located on the ground floor which is great for a cheaper alternative which serves a lovely pizza or pasta.

The indoor swimming pool is located on the 4th floor which is terrific as it also has a spa attached and two saunas and stream room. The staff were very helpful and cheerful.

Sydney is a treasure chest , holding incredible richness and beauty in the fragments of the harbour and foreshores. The glistening fragments of light filtering over Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House are truely enchanting.

Sydney is a city full of playfulness, entertainment , sophistication, mixed with a lively cosmopolitan casual lifestyle.

I highly recommend this hotel for location and its facilities.

“Best place in Sydney”

Quay Grand Suites Sydney

Jul 13, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

I along with my wife and two sons (aged 16 & 14) stayed at Grand Quay Suites Sydney for five nights (May 11 to May 16,2008). After going through very positive reviews on tripadvisor.com we changed our booking to Grand Quay Suites Sydney.
We checked in early at 8.00am.Our two bedroom apartment was not ready,as a good gesture by the reception staff we were given a one bedroom apartment straight away.
From our apartment we enjoyed the best views of Harbour Bridge.The Sydney Opera House is just a minutes walk and everything(Sydney Ferries,local trains,taxis,buses) available at door step.
The apartment was just like a home away from home with all the facilities and excellent upkeep.
Would like to come back soon and highly recommend to anyone visiting Sydney.

“Fantastic!”

Quay Grand Suites Sydney

May 27, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

We love this place!

We stayed here for the Australia Day long weekend as a weekend away and everything was perfect. We got to see fireworks, the hussle and bussle of the city, the ferries coming in and out and just the general beauty of the landmark Harbour Bridge.

The service was great - the rooms were spotless and the right size. Everything worked perfectly.

Great walking distance to everything.

Would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending this place!

“Great location-Great room”

Quay Grand Suites Sydney

5 of 5 stars
Christchurch, New Zealand
May 11, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

My 10 year old daughter and I stayed in a 1brm harbour view suite for 4 days. It was fantastic. I'm not sure this location on Circular Quay could be bettered. The Quay Grand was fab. Sydney is virtually on your doorstep as it takes 1 minute to get to the ferries, trains and buses. If you have a travel pass,as we did($95 for a week, one adult and child for all buses trains and ferries plus the airport train both ways), you venture out every opportunity you have. We got ferries to places we wouldnt normally go (like Watsons Bay) because we could. We arrived at 9 am and were able to check in to our room straight away.The apartment (Rm 702)was perfect for us. Quite high up so nice view of the Harbour Bridge. No view of the Opera House because it is right next door! There was no noticeable noise from the ferrries and trains when the balcony door was shut and just a pleasant sound of people going about their business when it was open. Nice place to sit and people watch. Room service was great and very quick. The pool was very nice too. Lots of cafes right next door and a great movie theatre next door that shows art house sort of movies. We had an issue with the appliances not working in the kitchen(fuse had blown)but it was resolved quickly. The staff were friendly and showed an interest in what we had been doing. I loved it and cant wait to stay here again. Would be even nicer if it was a little cheaper but I would still return.

“Great start to our honeymoon”

Quay Grand Suites Sydney

5 of 5 stars
Singapore
Apr 30, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

We stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of our honeymoon. We had a one bedroom suite overlooking Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge and couldn't have been happier with the view or the room itself.

With the ferries, trains and buses right outside the rest of Sydney is at your doorstep. Great restaurants nearby (although a little pricey) and perfect for strolling round the harbour, botanic gardens and the CBD.

Local calling was very expensive - use your mobile!
