Top Balmain Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Sydney

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property, clean room, received upgrade when arrived and allowed early check-in. Staff, helpful and friendly."

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was efficient and the gal wished my daughter a happy birthday. When we got to the room there was a little dessert for her and a hand written card which was very thoughtful. The room was beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. While we were only there 2 nights, we never got a cleaning but it seemed someone came in as the trash can was emptied and the mini fridge was re-stocked, although the water was not. We called and someone came right away. The pool, however, specifically the hot tub, needs work. The tile was all chipped and the jets didn't work. It looked pathetic for such a highly rated hotel such as The Four Seasons. Overall we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back."

W Sydney

8/10 Good

"Premium hotel, staff were mostly fantastic. Only issue was check in was almost 2 hours later than the advertised time. We arrived early dropped our bags and were advised by the staff that the room should be ready for us early, which was nice and unexpected. When we returned to the hotel at check in time we had to wait an additional hour and a half. Just a little frustrating is all."

Citadines Connect Sydney Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay near the airport. From here you can easily walk to the domestic airport or catch the shuttle bus. There is a great bar on the top floor where you can watch planes take off and land in the evening and again in the morning while having breakfast. Big comfortable rooms and nice staff."
