Pier One Sydney Harbour reviews
5 Star Review by Gustav
Fantastic location- a lovely quiet little area that just a few minutes walk from bustling Rocks / Circular Quay. We stayed 3 nights and the staff are super - faultless from arrival through to departure. We had a Water View room which was on the 3rd floor (top floor) and had a vaulted ceiling. Very light and bright and airy. Rooms are beautifully appointed. Crisp white bedding, soft fluffy towels, USB points by the bedside, and quality toiletries. Lying in bed and being able to see the water make your stay feel even more special. The restaurant and bar in the lobby are great, and perfect peaceful water-side spot of a nightcap. Breakfast is a nicely curated buffet, and eggs made to order. Excellent coffee. There are several nice cafes & restaurants in Walsh Bay - its a nice hidden gem of an area. Only negative is that the lifts are slow, but with a heritage building its understandable. Overall a fantastic stay and would absolutely stay here again.

I loved it here, would of gotten 5 stars if pier access rooms were able to be used. Staff were so helpful and lovely from the moment I arrived. Dog friendly room with bowls and beds. Blind didnt work but was fixed when asked. Outside over the water is dog friendly to watch the sunset. Great location up walk around especially for vivid. Definitely would stay again

It's nice to be on the opposite side of the Opera house. You get slightly less crowds but still lovely spots to eat and drink. The hotel bar is amazing - love the views and the food was pretty darn tasty as well. The rooms were clean and spacious - they had pretty much everything you could need. The only thing for me was that the breakfast was a bit costly for what you got. Other than that, all was great. I'll most definitely be staying again.

We visited the bar and wanted to have drinks at the pier. Unfortunately, it was raining and the sofa outside was completely wet. Bar staff- Jasmine-understood our concern and arranged some dry chairs, moved sofas, placed little lamps on our table and made sure we were comfortable in this weather. She was extremely accommodating and hospitable. We came for an amazing experience and got one. The chocolate dessert suggested by her was also fabulous. The location is beautiful and I will highly recommend.

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at! We were lucky to get a room here: although it was for just one night, it happened to be the first night of Vivid. The team was super considerate and accommodating. I felt spoiled by the amenities in the room. I appreciated the thoughtful addition of the water bottle filling station at the bar.
3 Star Review by Luis Hird
Look, it's ok I guess. Water goes everywhere when you have a shower and the mat is soaked when you get out. Poor design. The window looks out to the bridge but it's a small window. I just think there is better value for money out there. Definitely paying a Sydney tax at this place

Second time staying here, loved it the first time we stayed but not so much this time round. The good / great aspects of the hotel: Location is a 5/5. The bar area is also excellent and the views off the deck across the bay are stunning. The team members that I interacted with were excellent. The ok and disappointing aspects: The restaurant offers a somewhat limited evening / dinner menu - but it is very well presented - but its pretty expensive. ok if its for a special occasion but something to be aware of. The breakfast menu is ok but hot food was lukewarm and so was the coffee (3 days in a row). Service was inconsistent, some of the team couldn't do enough, some were somewhat mediocre & nonchalant. The room, was where I had the most issues, we had paid for a suite (the Hickson) furnishings were nice and the living area was quite large, the partially separate bedroom was quite comfortable. But the lighting and shades were not conducive to relaxing and enjoying the space. The lights offered 3 settings - bathroom only / or all lights on / or all lights off (this included the bright ceiling lights, there was no option to only turn on the ambient lights around the bed area or the ambient lights over the small bar area or the wall sconce - I found this pretty annoying when trying to relax and watch tv in the evening. Also my partner wanted to rest during the afternoon - there was no option to only close the full length shades in the bedroom area - it was all open or all closed - albeit that you could adjust the length of the closed shade - but it had to apply to all the shades in both the living and sleeping areas. The noise at night was simply a pain. Traffic from the Harbour Bridge (including trains) and from the nearby street, coupled with the noise of people 'hanging out' on the wharf - right up until around 2.30am on the weekend was something we could have done without. Last time we stayed here, we were super lucky to have been able to pay for an upgrade and we ended up in the Opera Suite - probably one of the best hotel experiences we have ever been lucky enough to enjoy - it was incredible, very quiet and a view which would be difficult to beat anywhere, let alone on one of the worlds most beautiful and recognizable harbors. This time we were at the other end of the hotel and felt like a different proposition entirely. Its not the fault of the venue that the rooms are going to offer such vastly different experiences - after all one has to remember this is a repurposed heritage listed warehouse... but poor lighting, expensive dining and lack of adequate sound proofing in the rooms which do not offer a breathtaking view of Sydney Harbour (which is most of them) mean that over all Pier One is not as 5 star as it deserves to be... but it misses too many marks, given its unparalleled history and location - it could be, and it should be... but it isnt.

This hotel is terrible. Outdated facilities, poor service. Breakfast was very poor, no cups, no spoons. The seats in the aisle are constantly passing by, so we can't have breakfast with peace of mind. After negotiating several times, we said that we can change seats after we finished eating. $618 a night for three people including breakfast, too bad! Will not be coming again. I give 0 star. Worst hotel I've stayed in in the last five years
