Super clean and modern! Blankets were super fluffy. Very convenient location right outside Gadigal metro station. Pool is quite small and shallow, depth of 0.9m throughout.

O hotel é até charmoso, mas meu quarto tinha um cheiro ruim, a arrumadeira não repôs o sabonete líquido, na piscina não tinha nenhuma espreguiçadeira. Os funcionários do café da manhã eram muito agradáveis.

Parking down the road no signage when i arrives could. It finds the hotel!!! Got in after 9.30 and then had to go park my car but had to go back to hotel to pay for it … very expensive. Then wanted a bite after a long day and international travel and no I’m room dining: the menu for in room dining terrible … burgers and chips. Over priced and small portions. Restaurant staff generall very good friendly and helpful. But only highlight was arriving after 9 and finding main restaurant kitchen closed. The maître d some how got me a lovely meal from restaurant so i didn’t have to go and get some nuts from seven 11. Not great. In room controls were good but no way of contacting anyone from front desk to ask simple things … for the price of stay not great services

While the hotel is in a very busy area with lots of street noise, it is an oasis of quiet inside. The rooms are large and comfortable, there are several dining options inside the hotel and also a well maintained gym. The staff was courteous and helpful. We stayed 7 nights and would definitely return to The Porter House if we visit Sydney again. Walking distance or a short train ride to everything.

I enjoyed my stay. The hotel room had a lovely serene ambiance and everything that I needed to be comfortable. . I wish the pool had been larger, but for inside Sydney Central this was a great hotel overall. The cafe/ restaurant on the ground floor is nice and great for people watching when sitting at a sidewalk table. I arrived late from a long haul overseas flight on my first night and was looking forward to having a drink in the hotel's bar, but regretfully it closed at (;30 or 10:0pm which seemed too early for a city hotel bar. That was my main wish: for the bar in the hotel to stay open later, like until 11:30pm 0 pr 12:00 am, so that travel weary hotel guests could refresh themselves and start their "holiday vibes" immediately! Lovely place! . Thanks... I would stay here again.

Corridors to room were dirty. Breakfast was slow in coming in Dixon & co and was cold on arrival. Constant noise above room that sounded like a lift moving, even though our room was well away from the lift lobby? Room wasn’t serviced still at 3pm even though we had requested this in the morning. There was no food available from the coffee shop on last morning. This was due to a delivery problem. So we went across to Nth degree coffee shop opposite and enjoyed a really good breakfast that was hot. Felt that it was all smoke and mirrors with no substance. Needs some good management to lift the game a few notches.

We only stayed one night and were hardly onsite, however can tell the quality is there - staff are lovely, rooms are nice, clean and modern. Our room had an ipad and other things like drawing curtains or turning lights off can be changed using the control pad on the side of the bed. The only reason i gave 4 stars and not 5 is because the pillows were terrible. Practically wafer thin, you sink into it and feels like you are not even on a pillow. Please change them!!

The property was very classy and clean and the area felt safe. My room was spacious and comfortable. I stayed 6 nights and my room was equipped with everything I needed. I never heard any of my neighbors and rarely ran into anyone in the halls or elevators. I would definitely stay at the Porter House Hotel in Sydney again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Det mest fantastiske hotel på alle måder - ville bestemt bo der igen. Men lige som man tror at alting er helt perfekt kommer man til at spørge receptionen om en restaurant anbefaling og de lover at undersøge og vende tilbage. Og det gør de så ikke ! Når man så går i receptionen igen for at stille samme spørgsmål så siger de det samme - og vender igen ikke tilbage. Virkelig ærgerligt nu når alt eller var sku godt. Ville nok bo der igen - men bare ikke spørge personalet om noget !
