Shangri-La Sydney

Shangri-La Sydney

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is not the least expensive hotel you can find in Sydney, but it is a great value. It is in an excellent location. You can walk to a lot of restaurants, museums, etc., and public transport (very easy to use in Sydney) is nearby. The room was thoughtfully laid out and equipped. I especially appreciated the universal plugs near the desk (and now wonder why all hotels don't have them). The staff was courteous and helpful. (A special shout-out to Colin!) Would definitely stay there again. Be sure to go up the to rooftop bar to enjoy the view (they are very nice about letting people just hang out there if they aren't busy)."
