26 hotel reviews for Hotel Swissôtel Sydney
If everything is correct, apart from the a bit small pool, there is nothing to comment on. If you get back in Sydney, then guarantees swissotel. Oh yes, there is a little annoying and the change of the gondola on the eighth floor. The lobby is from where the elevators to the room level drive. Read more

com after initially looking to rent a self catered apartment from which to explore sydney we found this to be a very good price for us to have a very comfortable room, our flight landed at 0530 the day we were checking in so i wrote to the hotel to ask how early we could check in not expecting a positive response but we got a nice reply and when we arrived after a 24hr flight from france we were given our room at 6am! - in August 10
I guess you can see why the price is so good for a great hotel.
