What guests think

At Rendezvous Hotel Sydney The Rocks, travellers praise the unbeatable location near Circular Quay, ferries and the cruise terminal, plus friendly, accommodating staff and some spacious rooms with kitchenettes and balconies offering impressive Harbour, Opera House or Bridge views.

However many note dated, worn rooms and maintenance issues such as noisy or ineffective air conditioning, tired bathrooms and fixtures, and inconsistent cleanliness (including stained carpets), with some noise and access challenges in heritage terrace sections. On site facilities draw mixed feedback: the pool and spa often feel neglected or unheated, gym equipment can be broken, and there is no on site restaurant or bar; harbour view rooms may be obstructed when cruise ships dock. Expect an excellent, walkable base with warm service, but older accommodations that vary in condition.

Excellent location near cruise terminal. Only disappointment was no restaurant and no bar but that was our fault for not checking. Another Rendezvous we have stayed I had a bar and restaurant so it pays not to make assumptions.

Location, location, location. This hotel was perfect for a pre cruise stay. We walked out luggage to the drop off point in under 5 minutes. Many restaurants and pubs nearby and a convenience store just a few doors away. The kitchenette was well stocked but there was no dining table. There is no bar not restaurant on site but the pool area, which included a spa pool was very inviting. If you wish for a port view ensure you reserve a balcony above the 3rd floor...

Great location for any tourist. The room was good, but the furniture was a bit dated. The staff were very nice. The pool area was not inviting. Ceramic tile were missing. The area needed a good power washing. But, though the place needed some updating, I’d easily choose to stay there again.

It was fun staying in an old terrace. Some of the rooms are old terrace houses, which is quite unique. The staff were very nice. The pool area looked a bit old and could do with some updating. Overall a nice quiet place to stay. Would go back.

We had a pleasant stay at the Rendezvous Hotel. Communication through Hotels.com was excellent — the staff responded promptly and were helpful throughout our booking. The room was comfortable and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, and basic essentials, making our stay convenient. We also appreciated the on-site laundry room (open 6 AM to 9 PM), though be aware it’s coin-operated — coins are available at the front desk. The gym was a nice bonus for keeping up with our routine. The highlight was definitely the balcony, offering stunning views of the bridge and Opera House — a perfect spot to relax. The only downside was when a cruise ship docked, it completely blocked the Opera House view. Also, while the room was clean overall, the carpet was very dated and looked worn, and could use an update to match the rest of the space. Overall, a good stay with fantastic views and a great location!

Pool had leaves and was not heated. Spa heate cwas broken and hot water in kitchen did not work. So it needs some upkeep.

Good location. This is an older hotel and is showing its age inside. The studio room was not as nice as advertised and not well maintained, repairs obvious, mouldly bathroom ceiling edges, dusty,. "coffee and tea maker" is a kettle and instant coffee and tea bags. I asked for a plunger and was they didn't have one Staff friendly and accommodating. Mentioned it was a birthday visit and was given a bottle of wine which was really appreciated. Was just a little disappointed in the room and value.

The on-site management of the property was excellent. There was a problem with a cockroach in the bathroom. If the on-site mangement is responsible, and given the property funding to mitigate the issue with the cockroaches, great. But I suspect the issue is with the people who own the property and don’t manage it themselves well.

This hotel was a sad completion of my 24 day trip. Bed was good, room decent but the air conditioner did not work! It was hot in Sydney those 2 nights and we could not sleep at all! The HVAC clanked all night and made it torturous nights. Please renovate this a/c or take the rendezvous name off of it! Hotel did offer a small refund of 80 bucks. But wish to get compensation from hotels.com Great location otherwise!

Room was clean, although there was blue masking tape on the ceiling in the room entry, staff were very friendly and accommodating, bathroom was very dated, shower poor as water pressure was very poor.

Staff was wonderful but room was very dated and disappointing; nothing like the pictures on the website. Location was perfect. The "Harbour View" did not exist because large of large cruise ship. At night when the cruise ship departed we had a great view of the Opera House but the next morning there was another cruise ship.

The only things nice about this hotel is the location and the lobby. The rest of the hotel did not get any renovation. Starting from the elevators is possible to understand the bad status of the rest of the hotel. The receptionist was not really a welcoming person and not with a professional behavior. Our room had the following issues: - HEATING SYSTEM NOT WORKING (we had to ask in the middle of the night a fan to warm up the room) - HOLES AND MOLD IN THE BATH TUB - BATHROOM AND ROOM FANS GRILLS VERY DIRTY - BIG STAINS ON SOFA AND CURTAINS - DUST IN CLOSETS, KITCHEN AND WORKING DESK - ELECTRIC PLUGS VERY HOLD - KITCHEN CABINETS VERY HOLD AND WITH CHIPPED PANELS - REPAIR ON A WALL NOT PAINTED - WATER LEAK STAIN ON THE CEILING - VENTILATION GRILL FELL DURING THE NIGHT WAKING UP ALL OF US - STAINS ON THE CARPET - TEMPERATURE WALL CONTROL VERY OLD It turned out to be a complete different experience respect what we thought. Not recommended !!!

This was a return stay, and we’ll probably stay here again when we pass through Sydney. PS - situated right near the cruise terminal! A short walk to the bridge and opera house.

This property is very close to everything in the rocks. On the flip side, if you want a king or superior king room you will get two single beds put together which was uncomfortable. We paid a lot of money for 1 night as we don’t travel often and about the only good thing was the shower pressure but it wasn’t very clean. The rooms are outdated and they don’t have room service. Our room phone has been unplugged and this took a while to work out before we could contact reception. No usb charging ports in the room either so you will have to take your whole charger for a phone. This was disappointing for the price we paid.
