It was really nice people at the entrance of the hotel, ready to discharge us from our luggages. I was travelling with my little one , so I thought it was a brilliant idea to allowed childrens for refilling her drinks at any time plus the backpack, great.
Room service was also good.

Historical Traveller Reviews of The Westin Sydney Hotel
Lovely City Hotel
from kaneblack1
This hotel has a fabulous ambiance to it and the rooms are gorgous. The hotel is built in an old post office building and guests can have either a post office room or a room in the sleek modern tower above it. I chose a tower room which had floor to ceiling glass windows with lovely city views. The bathroom has windows looking through the room so that you can sit in the tub and overlook the city lights. The location is great, right in the shopping district of the city and also a breif walk to the harbour front and all that Sydney has to offer.
Over-priced
from A TripAdvisor Member
Stayed at the Westin last weekend for third anniversary. We got a discounted rate as Starwood Preferred customers (from 290-335AUD per night), and it was good but have experienced better in Sydney for that price (The Establishment for instance).
The room - one in the GPO building – was spacious: high ceiling, large windows, lots of light and space. The windows looked down onto Martin Place. If you're there to explore Sydney, it's a good position between circular quay and the CBD, just no view (if you stay in Sydney and can afford it, you really should get a room with a view of the harbour).
Overall, we were happy with the room and the service, I guess most of the things that weren't perfect related to us wanting a quiet, romantic weekend and The Westin being primarily a business hotel. The bathroom was big and beautiful - big bath and the walk-in robe was a plus, too. For the price though, there were a few irks:
- room service was super exy ($21 for a baguette, $40 for a continental breakfast!?) and only went from 11am to 11pm.
- the hot water from the basin peaked at luke warm. The shower was hotter, but not steaming.
- the broadband connection was $24.95 per day (free normal internet via the TV, though).
- without the Do Not Disturb light on, there were people knocking on the door it seemed every hour (for minibar or to make the room up.) And when the light was on, they wouldn't even knock to deliver room service! That's what you call Extreme Room Service.
Anyway, I'm sure the room is fine for business travelers who don't mind paying for broadband and who charge everything to the company anyway, but for couples I'd suggest Sheraton on the Park (close to shops, 5min bus to cicular quay), The Establishment (hip little boutique around the corner from Westin), or something with a harbour view.

Great downtown hotel
from gleff
Westin is built around an old Post Office (similarly in Sydney, the Intercontinental was built on top of the old Treasury building).
We checked in about 1pm and were given a ‘deluxe room’, number 1806. The door has electronically-controlled signs for do not disturb and service room – you flip a switch inside the room by the door, and the appropriate note lights up outside.
Our room certainly had a fantastic bathroom. It had a large glass window between the bathroom and the room (with an power screen between the two) and separate toilet and shower rooms housed in frosted glass. The shower had two heads – one directly above from the ceiling, and one coming out of the wall as is standard, the latter being removeable/moveable.
The room had a power converter by the desk, not just the standard ‘shaver only’ 115V outlet in the bathroom, although it felt a bit light and I doubt it had any surge protection capabilities (not sure I’d want to plug my laptop in, for instance).
Though Sydney is in general pretty strict about not permitting smoking in most public spaces, smoking was totally permitted in the lounge. I never asked why, but wonder if it might be that it’s considered technically ‘outside’ and just covered by a very high skylight?
Champagne was delivered to our room shortly after arrival. I had only made the booking the evening before – I had a place to stay for free but decided it would be nice to spend our last night in Sydney in the city. Still, they managed to put that small gesture together quickly.
This hotel had one of the best room service menus I’ve seen, and execution was excellent. I like that in Australian hotels, at least at the Intercontinental and the Westin Melbourne, there isn’t a percentage added on to room service orders – just a $3 or $4 delivery charge.
One thing that annoyed me about the hotel, though, was that they added an AU$1.30 charge to the bill as a donation to UNICEF. This tactic has been discussed often on Flyertalk. I really detest it.
I take my philanthropy quite seriously. I investigate organizations that I give to in order to understand their mission and their effectiveness. Giving to ineffective charities is worse than a waste – it’s counterproductive and harmful to the intended beneficiaries of service, because it crowds out better charities (most studies suggest that total giving is a fixed pie in any given year, driven more by economic conditions than events, and that specific solicitation tactics when successful simply shift which charities benefit).
Although I guess if I wanted to know more about UNICEF, I could have watched the dedicated TV channel they had at the hotel!
Since I want the charge removed, I make a trip down to the desk on my way out. They’re more than happy to take it off and do so instantly, but it’s an unnecessary trip. I actually stewed on it for awhile after receiving the bill under the door early in the morning.

Excellent hotel and location
from Leer
My sister and I stayed at The Westin for 3 nights and could not find one thing to complain about. The room was large with 2 double beds with lots of natural light. Our room was ready when we checked in at 11.00 am and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The location was extremely central with a very short walk to Pitt St Mall and David Jones. A slightly longer walk to QVB and The Rocks (about 10 minutes each).
After a big day shopping we decided to eat in the restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was fabulous.
We would most definitely stay here again and I am looking forward to going back with my husband for a romantic weekend.

Probably the best location in Sydney
from momon
All I can say is WOW. Firstly, the location of this hotel on the corners of Pitt and Martin Pl. has to be the best in all of Syndey. Everything - Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Rocks, etc. is about a 10 minute walk.
Lobby area is excellent, bright and spacious. Our check in took about 2 minutes and was very efficient. Everyone from the doorman to the check in staff were VERY professional and friendly. We got to our room and it was beautiful. Very spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom was awesome with the glass wall. Heavenly bed and heavenly shower was truly heavenly.
The head concierge Simon Rose was absolutely wonderful. He suggested some great places to eat and got us into Icebergs restaurant without a problem. Apparently that alone is tough.
I've stayed in many hotels around the world and this has to be one of the better ones - not only for location but for quality. The property seems relatively new so everything is in great shape.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

from etraveller
We LOVED the Westin Sydney. About 4 or 5 blocks to get to Circular Quay . . . or you can take the ubiquitous buses. The room was incredible (see attached pictures). We used our Starwood Points to stay there and we do not regret it one bit. Clean, clean, clean. Modern does not even describe the rooms. The concierge was incredibly helpful -- he even had our laundry picked up from a local laundromat in the Rocks when we mentioned that the cost at the hotel was ridiculous. The attached pictures were from a standard room. Not in Harbour, but we walked back to the Westin from Darling Harbor after dinner -- maybe 20 minutes. GREAT for the Syndey explorer buses because you have your choice of stops for getting on and off as it is surrounded by stops. Everything is within walking distance. Pitt St Mall is a two minute walk -- great for a quick breakfast. The only downside were the RIDICULOUS prices at the bar. $25.00 for a trukey sandwich!
Excellent
from sigmund
We stayed 6 nights on vacation in March 2005 in a tower deluxe room for £137 a night. Before arriving I had regretted not booking a hotel with a harbour view but in the event was very pleased to have stayed at the Westin. The room was luxurious and classy, like the rest of the hotel, and well worth the price. Although it is a business hotel, its location was ideal, being central to all the main tourist attractions. There is an upmarket steak house plus restaurant in the basement (not part of the Westin) where we dined on 2 occasions. The hotel's bar served a great cocktail. Strongly recommended.
Nice!
from Carlydria
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a Friday and Saturday night, courtesy of a cheap(ish) deal on wotif. It was pretty damn great, subject only to a couple of service-style issues that I’ll get off my chest before I rave.
Unfortunately, first impressions were not great because it took ages to hand the car over to a valet, even longer for our bags to make it up to our room, and then too long again for our car to be brought around to the front from whatever distant galaxy the carpark is in. The staff were both nice and apologetic about the delays, but we were paying the big bucks to stay at this joint, so I’m not sure “it’s busy today” is such a great excuse…Also, extra money for the gym and the internet? C’mon people, we’re paying over $300 a night, plus parking!
Those gripes aside, though, the Westin was pretty fantastic. The rooms are lovely, furnished in a minimalist style without clutter, fuss, or anything French provincial. A good desk promotes the work ethic, the reading chair is ultra-comfy and there are more phones than anyone could possibly need. The TV had a good selection of cable stations, although the music stations were conspicuously absent. The bed was simply divine - I wanted to take it, and the comforter, home. There were lots of nice fluffy towels and two lovely bathrobes, which was just splendid because the bathroom was incomparable. It’s got a gorgeous shower, separate toilet, lots of bath-loot and a huge, deep bath, and a glass wall between the bathroom and the room that allows you to watch the tellie while soaking. There is a screen that can be let down over the glass wall for privacy, but it’s probably still not the most ideal setup where you’re travelling with the family or a business companion…
Moving outside the room, the lobby is splendid. An impressive atrium connects the old part of the hotel (the old GPO building) to the new tower. It contains the usual assortment of hotel shops and cafes, but its still worth walking around just for the "ooh" factor. When we were there, the lobby was filled with convention-people in black suits carrying little convention guidebooks. There were surprisingly few denim-clad or camera-weilding tourists. The hotel itself is within (very) easy walking distance to Darling Harbour and the Quay. Great location.
I liked this hotel heaps. It's central, convenient and you could do way worse than stay here if you want the 5-star deluxe experience in a central location. Take a photo of that bathroom!

Not up to Westin Standards
from balimontana
I just returned from my sixth stay at the Westin Sydney and unfortunately it will be my last.
After booking an Executive Suite for a total of 14 nights at a rather pricey $700 AUD per night, I was extremely disappointed with poor service including:
a.) Multiple room service mix ups. Red wine being delivered when white was ordered and simple dining requests repeatedly being messed up. The "service express" personnel seemed genuinely concerned but unable to correct persistent room service problems.
b.) Slack housekeeping with gritty bathroom floors, tables consistently smeared and a general lack of attention to detail. Repeated requests for housekeeping to be more attentive were ignored.
c.) A bellman luggage mix up resulting in an overnight trip to the Blue Mountains stranding me without a change of clothing. When I rang the Westin to request that they send my clothing 1 1/2 hours away to the Blue Mountains they wanted to CHARGE me for their mistake.
After numerous problems, I requested an upgrade to a luxury suite from Executive Suite category. Although the luxury suites were available, Westin Sydney management refused to upgrade.
This is a hotel plagued with poorly trained staff from the kitchen workers right on up to management. They do not hold the service philosophy that I have found at other Westin hotels and lack empowerment to satisfy a guest.
I will not be staying with Westin Sydney again even though I am a loyal Starwood Preferred Guest member.
You are much better off in Sydney at the Park Hyatt for awesome views and top of the line service or the Four Seasons for reliable good service. The Westin is expensive and doesn't deliver service commiserate with the prices it demands.

Fab hotel
from katrinabull
Stayed in this hotel from 28th December until 2nd January. It was perfect - very expensive to stay over New Year but a great location.
Left and right are the main shopping centres and everything - even the harbour bridge is within a manageable walk away.
The Opera House and the bars around that area are within 10 minutes walk. Couldn't get a more ideal location.
The staff were suberb, a different level of service. Bar drinks and meals were quite expensive though.
The rooms were big: the bathrooms have a glas wall between bedroom and bathroom, but there is a blind to cover this if you are shy with each other! This means you can watch TV (but why would you when you are Sydney???) from the bath I suppose.
They even have internet (email) from your TV which is cheaper than phoning from the hotel - although they do sell telephone cards.
I went with my very fussy mum and sister again, and my husband. All round it was well worth the money to stay here for location and standards set.

Top Local Tips for Sydney
Winter Weather The weather in winter is beautiful - warm sunny days the norm rather than the exception.
Great restaurant The Italian Village restaurant for long lunches or dinner. The food and service is outstanding . The location has diners either inside or outside protected under a tent roof with the Hyatt hotel on one side and the Sydney opera house as your view. It doesn't get much better and its only a 10 minute stroll in a very safe city back to the hotel.
Sydney Bridge Climb - Awsome experience - very easy climb (we had a 10 year old and a 70 year old in our group - both had a great time) and extremely professional staff and operation. Highly recommended.

Booking in was great with friendly staff and my luggage was taken up to my room. I had the Executive Deluxe on the 30th floor, I think. Anyway, the room was spacious and my request for 2 double beds were met and even still the room was big. The view was fantastic overlooking parts of George street down below. Have a phobia about heights so found it a little daunting. Impressed with the bathroom wall is all glass and if you want privacy, a blind comes down.
The restaurant downstairs had the most amazing food. The staff were very good and couldn't wait to be of service. The decore had a very romantic atmosphere, ( even if you were on your own). The Executive lounge and service was AMAZING.As you walk through the doors, you are met with a shelf of the morning newspapers, and magazines. The arrangement of the seating was used to make the most of the view with its amazing windows. The varieties for breakfast, was not only presented well, it was all delicious. From the different types of breads, rolls, cereals, juices, bircher muesli ( my favorite) even the poached eggs were just they way I liked them, not dry, but nice and moist. Then the variety of savory, bacon, sausages, etc. Definitely food fit for a King..... or Queen. Yay! On top of all this, the staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you. I wanted to try everything, but, as we all know, there is only so much you can put in your mouth.
I wanted a break, and brought my cousin over for a break as well, and I couldn't have picked a most pleasant and enjoyable hotel to spend the weekend. Thank you once again for an amazing experience.
