Stroud Holidays from AU$384

Reception staff are fantastic and very friendly. It's centrally located to the CBD, Darling Harbour and a short walk to Chinatown and Paddy's market. The entrance is nice and professional. My only criticism would be that the building is in need of a fresh lick of paint. It's obviously an old building converted into the hotel, and this gives it the lovely period feel, but on fine inspection you start to notice the problems. Things like broken lights, the smell of burnt oil in the kitchen, scuffs, marks, cracks. It's these shortcomings which makes it only a 3 star hotel. If the owner does some light renovations now, it'll easily become 4 star. If left as is and it continues to deteriorate, then it'll slip into a 2 star rating. However, if you like spacious rooms and the central location, you can't go wrong for the price. I'd recommend for the budget conscious and the non-fussy traveller.

Hosts were beautiful people, very welcoming and accomodating. Location is spectacular, with premium suites, set up perfectly. Chef on site with the highest quality of food and drinks for every meal. So much history on the island and surrounding areas with plenty of fun and interesting activities. My wife and I had the best time and cannot wait to be back!!

The Staff were quite friendly.

Enjoyed our stay. Clean and comfortable room. Easily accessible from public transport.

When I was at the Holiday Inn, the hotel was very good, but now I feel that the management is much worse. It has declined rapidly in all aspects. I will not choose this hotel next time. Mainly because cleanliness and hygiene standards have dropped too much
