Pierre, Dec 2018
Pros (+) We stayed in a beautiful Relaxation room on the top floor - L43 (which we selected through the online check-in function through the Hilton app - highly recommended!). All staff we encountered were top notch. While our room was not yet ready at 4 (past the 3pm check in time), we were welcomed to enjoy some nibbles and drink at the Executive Lounge on L36. Soon after, the lounge staff provided us wi...
Cons (-) Our Relaxation room on L43 was situated next to the staff storeroom / goods lifts. As such, could hear the lifts during peak periods - not so much during the later evening.

I would also like to see a better spread of snacks throughout the day at the Executive...

Pros (+) We decided to have a staycation at Hilton Sydney with our toddler. Check-in was efficient where they reminded me of my suite upgrade. Enjoyed our complimentary breakfast at Glass each morning - a wide selection of hot and cold options. Access to Executive Lounge at any time between 6-9 - it can get quite busy during the evening drinks session. MAGIC team were highly responsive when it came to my r...
Cons (-) Not a huge negative, but we were not provided with information regarding the available benefits at Hilton Sydney as a Diamond Hilton Honors member - something I had to confirm by dialling their MAGIC hotline. Breakfast at the Lounge is satisfactory and rates below the likes of Hilton Tokyo in terms of selection and quality - where Tokyo had an omelet station and also self service alcohol even in t...

FAQs when booking at Hilton Sydney

  • What spa treatments for couples are offered at the hotel?

    Alysium Spa, situated at Hilton Sydney, has a number of packages that are aimed at couples. You could opt for an hour-long aromatherapy massage or splash out and book yourselves a Decadent Spa Package for Couples, which starts with a half-hour chocolate body scrub before heading in for a luxurious aromatherapy massage. Make a day out of your spa experience by choosing a massage package that allows you to have some time by the pool before your couples massage, and then afterwards indulge in the Hilton high tea at Caffe Cino.

  • What business facilities does Hilton Sydney offer?

    Located in the CBD, this hotel has a versatile range of rooms for business meetings and conferences. Choose between four different levels depending on your requirements. Level 1 consists of 13 separate meeting rooms and a boardroom for bigger meetings and is spread over 900 sqm.

Covering nearly 4,000 sqm you could host over 350 attendees in a theatre-style set-up. The hotel will organise the technology required for your meetings using advanced, state-of-the-art equipment and will also cater for the event with customised menus.

  • What breakfast options are available at the hotel?

    For a superb breakfast option, make sure you reserve a table at the Glass Brasserie restaurant at Hilton Sydney. Usually open for breakfast from 06.30 to 10:00 Monday to Friday and from 07:00 to 11:00 Saturday and Sunday. If breakfast is included in your room rate, you’ll have the option to take advantage of the buffet breakfast selection at the restaurant.

  • What is the recommended way to get from the airport to the hotel?

It leaves the airport and stops at Town Hall Station, with a journey time of around 25min. From here, it will take you around 3min to walk to the hotel, and this is all undercover. Another alternative is to take a taxi from the airport, but the length of this journey will depend on the traffic and could take anywhere between 25min and 45min.

  • Which is a good room to stay in at the hotel?

    For comfort and quality at a reasonable price, you could look at the King Superior Room or the King Deluxe Room. Both these rooms are equipped with king-sized Hilton beds and have work desks and state-of-the-art televisions. The difference between them is that the King Superior Room has a bathroom with a roll-in shower, while the King Deluxe option has a bathroom with a separate bath and shower. Around the same rate, a King Corner Room has the added advantage of extra light, courtesy of the additional window that offers a different view of the city; this option also has a roll-in shower in the bathroom.
