What guests think

At The Tank Stream Hotel, travellers consistently praise the unbeatable CBD location near Circular Quay and transport, clean modern rooms, and accommodating staff, while often noting compact room sizes, occasional external noise, and mixed experiences with breakfast quality and pricing.

Early check-in and friendly help are mentioned repeatedly, though self check-in kiosks and sporadic service lapses leave some guests underwhelmed. Bathrooms generally work well, but some report shower water leaking onto floors, minor maintenance issues, or housekeeping inconsistencies. A practical choice for short city stays focused on walking and public transport.

Everyone there was great. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. Gave us free passes to gym down the street due to construction. Walkable to main ferry and tourist attractions on Sydney. Great first impression to Australia tourism.

Great place to stay in the Central Business District of Sydney. You can easily get to Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Queen Victoria Building, and Sydney's Chinatown by train, light rail, Metro, or even walking if you enjoy that. Plenty of pubs nearby and there's a nearby 24/7 gym that the hotel provides access to if that's something you want. I enjoyed my stay here and the staff were very helpful and kind also.

Very convenient and central to everything. Validated parking saved us two thirds of charge. Room very small. Obviously not set up for self catering, re no microwave, plates or cutlery. Excellent breakfast in restaurant. Bed quite soft. Room charge taken out of account after 1st night of a 2 day stay. Also asked about no surcharge was assured that I wouldn't be but was. I would have paid by cash.

The Hotel is in a great location, handy to downtown. The room was very nice and the beds were extremely comfortable. Only downside was the restaurant was closed on the Sunday night so we had to venture out and find a restaurant after a long day. However we had a fantastic meal quite close by! Definitely would stay again.

We did have a little trouble finding the entrance of the hotel but when we did it was a nice, quick check in. The room was compact but enough for a 1 night stay. The room was clean enough but extra attention needs to given to the shower area (some probably difficult due to design ) but nothing a good bleach treatment would fix. It was very quiet considering being in Centre of CBD. We would stay there again.

Hotel lobby looked nice and was clean. Front desk staff were friendly. Room looked nice, but the shower must not have been updated as there was mold present and the grout and tile looked pretty bad and needs to be redone. The bed was comfortable with nice linens. Breakfast buffet was expensive in my opinion and just okay with limited options. I thought I had paid extra on my reservation for the breakfast to be included, but was not on my reservation upon checkin. Hotel was in easy walking distance (7minutes) to wharf and Opera House. The first night there, a band played somewhere outside and was very loud until 11pm. The other two nights there, it was quiet. We were on the 15th floor and had asked for a quiet room.

I liked the online check in feature & was lucky enough to be able to check in earlier than I had planned. The hotels says the rooms are soundproofed, but I doubt it. I was on the 15th floor that looked down on the outside bar at Australia Square & heard music blaring each week night. I only bring this up because they boast about the sound proof rooms & they most definitely aren't

Not bad but a couple of small issues. The TV / streaming system was problematic during my entire stay. I ordered room service only to get the wrong meal. It appears they got mine and someone else’s mixed up. After telling reception, they came back 5 minutes later and gave me what I ordered which was cold and soggy. There is no way they could have cooked another meal that fast. I have a strong feeling they went to the other room and swapped them around. The shower has really bad tap hammer which was annoying.

Stayed twice in 8 days. Have stayed at the hotel quite a few times this year. A week ago i would have given a lower review as there was no hot water and i had to leave the hotel twice in the morning due to the fire alarm and evacuation alert. I was expecting some note from the hotel management offering some compensation, maybe a free breakfast or at least a coffee and a roll etc. Nothing turned up. This time i had no issues with anything, plenty of hot water, no alarms. Desk staff remembered me from an earlier visit so it was a very quick check in. Ive booked to stay again later in the year.

Hotel was adequate reasonably location for proximity to transport. Front counter staff were unfriendly and probably the worst we have struck anywhere around the world. Bar staff on day 1 were excellent we asked for some ice and an ice Bucket and the young fella was very helpful. However when we asked the same question of a different person at the Bar on day 2 we were just told we don’t have ice( no sorry or come back latter just No). This combined with the ache k in staff I can honestly say Rydges are off out list on all future trips. Only takes one to spoil things

We had an excellent experience for 3 nights at Rydges Australian Square. We were given early check-in after enduring 3 flights (17 hours) and very long travel from home. The staff was friendly and very helpful, the bed was truly comfortable, and though small, the room was quiet, well-appointed and very clean, and the included breakfast was lavish. The downtown location was perfect: within easy walking distance to many of Sydney's best attractions (Royal Botanic Gardens, Art Gallery, Opera House, Circular Quay, Darling Harbor, Sydney Harbor Bridge, The Rocks, several museums, good restaurants, and public transportation). A great time, overall.

The hash browns looked like they were part of an oil spill and the scrabbled egg had more things dripping off it than somone in Kings cross.....oh and the orange juice tasted off and the apple juice was watered down.......avoid the breakfast The hotel is great, the staff are great and the location is great.....all of that makes it worthwhile staying there, just avoid the breakfast. Its not worth it!!!

The Rydges Australia Square is in an excellent location to get to and to explore Sydney. The interior is nicely designed and clean. That said, we were disappointed that the King room we had booked was far too tiny for 2 people to stay in for several days. Ver got a Queen room upon request that was far bigger (which in itself is weird) but we’re still disappointed. Most annoying was the breakfast. While the food options are fine, the restaurant is clearly understaffed, and it’s also too small for this size hotel. One coffee machine didn’t work for two of the three days, which led to long waits and poor coffee. Frequently food offerings are empty or no cutlery available. All up an average stay - but we wouldn’t rush back.
