InterContinental Hotels in Sydney

Nach meiner Rückkehr nach China vermisste ich jeden Tag im InterContinental Hotel so glücklich, dass ich mittags einen Spaziergang im Royal Botanic Gardens machte Chips im Opernhaus und ging zurück, um ein Nickerchen zu machen. Nachdem ich geschwommen und geduscht hatte, ging ich abends zum Essen ins QUAY-Restaurant und ging dann zurück zur Hotelbar, um einen Cocktail zu bestellen Höre ein paar Lieder und werde vor dem Schlafengehen beschwipst.

Es hat eine gute Lage. Es liegt nah am Meer. Das Frühstück ist auch gut. Die Schalldämmung ist etwas enttäuschend, daher wäre es gut, das im Hinterkopf zu behalten!

On the plus side: we upgraded ourselves to a village suite and the size was spacious. Breakfast was fabulous and something to look forward to, although 7am start is a bit late for us.. Most of the staff were lovely and well trained. Room was cosy and quiet at night. Fresh towels and clean bathroom. Easy and convenient location outside of CBD. This is the only big hotel in the area and there are some great restaurants nearby - Carmela, Margaret, Bill’s etc. usefully close to Chemist Warehouse for essentials you’ve forgotten. On the negative: It should be classed as 4* - quite cheaply constructed and maintained. Not what you might consider to be luxury. Rooms are dark,  with poorly thought out lighting; the carpet rarely vacuumed (if at all) during our five night stay. Hand held shower head spray nozzles were blocked, bathtub drain was also blocked. Sinks not very clean. Windows in room and dining room very dirty. Big construction site adjacent so we moved rooms to get away from the noise and view of the cranes. Overpriced hotel offering when you consider we could have booked the Capella in CBD at nearly the same rate as our suite, but nice to be away from the city.
