Sydney’s Hidden Gem
My girlfriend and I decided to stay at the Observatory as it was slightly away from the city centre and also as it was one of the Orient Express hotels. We were certainly not disappointed, from the minute we walked into the hotel to the moment we left 7 days later everything was as it should be. The rooms were spacious, the staff attentive without being overbearing and the breakfasts were superb. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and will be staying here the next time we go to Sydney.

Wonderful experience!
A truly first-rate hotel. The service was excellent. The staff was helpful and courteous. The room was huge and beautiful.My 8 year old daughter loved the pool. We would not stay anywhere else in Sydney.

Can’t wait to go back
A beautiful hotel located in " The Rocks". The service was fantastic! We arrived in Sydney at 6:30 AM and went directly to the hotel. Although they could not allow us to check into our room, they were very gracious and accomodating. They offered to hold our bags,and offered us the use of the spa shower to refresh ourselves. The rooms are beautiful and full of great amenities. The bathroom had a great shower and a nice deep tub. The only drawback would be for people who have a disability and could not get their leg over the side. They may have rooms more disability accessible, I would ask. The staff was efficient and friendly, they went way beyond their requirements. Great job!
Traveller's tip on saving a few bucks
We made use of a Sydney pass and were very satisfied. It was a great value and we made great use of this pass. The drivers were friendly and offered suggestions and advice. Be sure and make a trip to Paddy’s Market , lots of great buys! We bought all our souvenirs here.
