| Got there at 415pm on a Sat afternoon, 75 mins after check in and room still wasn't ready. Had to wait another 15 mins for room then they only had a basic room for us when we paid for a split-level loft room (however they didn't say anything and basically pretended not to know, until i complained of course but you could tell they knew this all along and that there had been a stuff up).
They did give us 2 drinks vouchers (big deal as they're worth no more than $5 max based on their costs). All in all, really poor.
The bar is lovely however its almost always empty so no atmosphere at all, which is a shame!
What not suggest this hotel. If you're a tourist (I'm not) then the location is not great at all.
Visually great but other than that, it's typical 'up your area Sydney'. Thats the problem with Sydney, looks lovely buts thats it! |

| My sister took her partner here when they got engaged and recommended it highly, i took my partner for our anniversary and this place is magical. Everything from the room to the cocktail bar was extremely romantic, service was fantastic everywhere you go in the hotel and it is a must to visit the bar/lounge during your stay. We had an unforgettable evening and highly reccommend the Blue Hotel. Thanks |

| Very cool and funky hotel. Design is just A+. The ambience of the old wharf with the new designs and decor is just superb. Room was well laid out although as it was a freebie we had a very small window and was a bit claustrophobic but the interior design was agian superb. Would've been fine for a business stay for 1 but with my wife as well was a bit cramped. Would recommend the hotel highly nonetheless. |

| We ate at the restaurants opposite the hotel, as we found the hotel restaurant and bar extremely expensive. This however is one of my very favorite hotels in Sydney for stunning style, service and location. I can stay there more often now due to the savings with hotelscombined.com. Thank you. |
