What guests think

Travellers describe InterContinental Sydney Double Bay by IHG as a well-located, village-feel base near the ferry, with standout, often friendly staff, but rooms and some public areas feel dated, and service or maintenance lapses occasionally affect stays.

The rooftop pool and bar are popular, and many guests rate the buffet breakfast highly. Cleanliness and upkeep vary, with reports of mould, a cockroach, missed housekeeping, and some rooms feeling dark or less comfortable due to views, pillows, or mattresses. Expect appealing amenities but aging rooms and occasional inconsistencies.

Great location with excellent valet car parking and an excellent concierge But they allow general public into the hotel all floors which is a security concern as well as access to the rooftop pool and bar which is annoying to guests paying full freight

We attended a wedding at the Hotel and I booked two rooms for my husband and I and our son and daughter-in-law for the night rather than travelling home after it finished. It was a wonderful stay - our room was spacious with a view into the beautiful internal courtyard. The marble bathroom is huge with a separate toilet which was appreciated. Lighting and access to mirrors was great - I am short and very short sighted and often mirrors in hotel bathrooms are too far away for me to see properly when doing makeup. The large mirror in the bathroom extended to the side which meant I could both access and see! There was also a good mirror in the room so I could see full length when I dressed. The wedding g was held in the Grand Ballroom and it was a wonderful venue and a very happy night. We used the Wilson carpark downstairs which was very convenient. Staff at the reception desk were welcoming and organised an earlier checkin for us which we were grateful for. A gracious hotel in the heart of Double Bay.

When I checked in the guy at the desk made a loud comment about the fact that I booked through an agent and therefore I was getting room 211. Not sure why that was necessary. I was planning to go to my room, order food and work the afternoon away. The room across from mine was getting maintenance work done, loudly. I wasn’t warned at all, the painter/builder was lovely and very apologetic. I wanted to grab the menu for in room ordering and it was so dirty and sticky all the pages were stuck together. I took it to the front desk asking to please have another one sent to my room as it put me off and I decided to go for a walk. When returned there was no sign of a new menu so I called to ask for it again. The girl on the phone proceeded to tell me I can just check it ok the tv, quite rudely and I asked If I can just please get another copy. It arrived within maybe one hour. It was greasy too but openable! I have photos of both.. I barely had anyone ever greeting me or smiling which was very sad for this kind of hotel. At check out I got asked how was the experience and I explained how disappointed I was for the money I spent. Amar (manager on duty) was really nice and sorry for my experience, and waved the breakfast fee. Although I appreciated it this was a terrible experience for a room just under $400 a night and in the future I will stay clear from booking my hotels via this platform and this chain of hotels.

I contacted the hotel on the morning of my arrival to confirm the particulars of my stay and was advised accordingly. At check-in, staff dismissed this entirely, resulting in my rate being double from what was confirmed. Despite providing my phone records, there was no accountability. I was left with the option of paying double or not staying at all.

My key issue is that I was charged twice for our stay and am still awaiting a refund - I booked via Expedia so pre-paid all costs in advance but the hotel also charged my credit card after we left. I had to follow up by phone and twice by email to action a refund and was told it would take 7-10 business days to process. I am still waiting… I also found it unusual that only 2 pillows were provided as standard for a double bed in our room - very unusual for a 5 star hotel to skimp on pillows but an additional 2 pillows were provided following 2 requests

However, we stay because the location is wonderful and peaceful with everything a very easy walk away, including beautiful Sydney Harbour. Quiet and villagey, not impersonal and super high rise like the CBD
