Overrated

  • February 2, 2008
  • Rated 3 of 5 by a traveler from Travelocity.com
The hotel is rated quite high. However, I didn't find it to exciting. The rooms were spacious, however my room had a bunch of aircon-vents from the neighbouring building right in front of the window. Quite noisy. I also found some pipes in the bathroom dripping, thus the floor was wet. Not to nice, if the leak is located in the area of the toilet. There were also hairs in the bath - not mine, I could tell by the length. And I haven't had any visitors... The location in the heart of Sydney is quite convenient, however, I for my next stay, I prefer other hotels in this area.

Sheraton On The Park

When we booked to come down here I was still in need of an SPG stay. So we booked into the Sheraton on the Park as I felt the “Park View upgrade at check-in” rate I got was the best of the three SPG hotels for that time period. Even though the needs changed before we arrived we stuck with it for the originally booked first two nights of the trip.

The location is right by the St James train station on Elizabeth Street right next to Hyde Park. This proved to be a very good location to start exploring each morning. As we were still adjusting to the time zone we would be awake at sun up and were able to go explore the park while the “attractions” of town were still closed.

Check in was very nice. The man helping us went to some extremes to find us the upgrade and also get us a room soon. As it turned out there was not a room ready unless we’d settle for a smoking room, which I will not do. So he called up housekeeping and asked them to clean the room he wanted to assign to us. They said it would be an hour or two and being that even at two hours would still be before noon we said we’d be back and left our bags. When we came back to check in after touring town the same man helped us and informed me that our bags had been delivered to the room for us. A nice touch.

Upon entering the room I must say I was quite pleasantly surprised. The room was very well appointed as you can see in the pics above and the bathroom was amazing. The door is on the left side of the room rectangle so the wall and closet are on the left and the bathroom on the right as you enter. Then flowing into the bed on the right as you walk straight in. I really liked the pictures and mirror behind the bed and the work area was sufficient. The TV had a rather wide range of channels for Australia and we were able to watch weather when we needed.

And that brings us to the bathroom. This was one of the nicest I’ve seen in an SPG hotel. It is behind two pocket doors that put you in the center of the bathroom wall. Big two person tub on the left and stand up shower on the right. The entire wall in front of you is a mirror with only a single sink (minor downer) and counter in front of it and the toilet on the right. Then if you turn around at the sink and look back out the doors the far wall is again a mirror. This really makes it feel big and gives you a great feeling.

This is the premier hotel in Sydney with absolutely the best location walkable to everything and convenient to transit.

Sheraton on the Park

I have always preferred the Westin in Sydney to the Sheraton - I'm not sure why, they are geographically close, and the Sheraton is a little bit older (but only by 9 or 10 years), but this time I ended up at the Sheraton because the Westin was $200 more expensive.

Booked and recieved a Club floor room - the club is one of the best features of the Sheraton on the Park, located on the top floor of the hotel with large windows overlooking the harbour and park - a very nice place to grab a drink at night (complimentary) and breakfast in the morning.

Room was acceptable - bathroom was nice, with a good range of toiletries provided.

Staff in the lounge are excellent.

Sheraton on the Park

Sheraton on the Park

Sheraton on the Park is a very deluxe hotel located across from Hyde Park in central Sydney. This was formerly one of the Sheraton "Luxury Collection" properties. I do not know when or why it was downgraded to a "regular" Sheraton, but this hotel sure felt luxurious to me and deserves its higher rating again. There seems to be grandiose and expensive-looking artworks everywhere.

The lobby is fancy, with a curving stair in the center of it. The hotel consists of 22 floors and 558 rooms. The staff is respectfully courteous and attentive. There is a nice fitness center with an indoor pool, jacuzzi and steam room. Taking a dunk in the pool was a good way to wake up for me! Even if you do not use these facilities, there is an outdoor balcony with outstanding views of the city.

The rooms are spacious and luxurious, with minibar and safe. The bathroom was huge and equipped with separate bathtub and shower stall. If you can afford it, this is a good place to splurge.
