The rooms luxurious and services friendly ...the skyline vi. all reviews
Very comfortable- this was a special treat for me after an event. I have
stayed here once previously and was keen to come back. Lovely views,
fantastic staff, great location. I just love the conversion of the warf,
as it keeps all the character and features of the working warf's
history. If you fany a splurg, stay a couple of nights, it's lovely.
I had a standard room this time on the city side, but last time I was
lucky enough to get a deluxe suite over two levels that was sublime.
The doorman Davide was so professional and courteous - we had to change rooms and he was so helpful.
Loved our stay here easy walk to opera house, art gallery and lovely restaurants on your doorstep.
A big thank you also to the duty manager who was also very helpful.
We will definitely be returning to this hotel again soon, loved our stay.
Loved the bath. Loved that it was the equivalent of a twin single but it was twin double beds. Loved that my daughter got to try on a kid sized bathrobe and slippers. Loved that when we came back for coffee we could have it in the foyer which was also beautiful. Loved the design of all the rooms. Loved how close it was to the naval base.
We liked the location. It was centrally located to all of the places we wished to visit/see. The studio suite offered much more room to relax in and we have never slept as well as we did on the comfortable bed along with the wonderful feather pillows and down comforter. It was quiet and all of the staff were very attentive.
The staff were outstanding and very accommodating. Our room was ready
early at our request with no extra charge and we were given access to it
hours earlier. Great location to beautiful walks through the gardens to
main attractions. Would definitely recommend to friends. (Was actually
recommended to me by another friend.
Everything, I felt like me and my son (7 years old) were vips of some
sort (and my kid is not the eazy guest I should admit, but all staff
looked after him very well and dealt with all his little dramas with
exeptional grace). We were there for international fleet review and
location for it was the best.
The Taj is in a recently redone dock building that has nicely incorporated some of the old structure with a very modern building. We found the accommodations very satisfactory. It is near the opera house and botanical garden, not far from downtown and the ferry docks.
Loved every minute of our stay. The old converted woolen mills the hotel now occupies is beautiful and lovingly restored where the old mills meets the modern hotel located right over the water. Staff were excellent. We will be back!.
Our loft room was extremely comfortable and quiet. The hotel was within walking distance to all the main sights as well as to great cafes and restaurants. The best thing about the hotel was the staff whose service was exceptional!.
I enjoyed the Woolloomooloo Location.................the walk thru the Domain.......it's closeness to Darlinghurst and Paddington and catching a Cab was fairly easy. The Restaurant strip, which we visited was excellent.
staff were excellent from the moment we pulled up in our car. Check in was easy. Complimentary bottle of wine was unexpected but welcome. Facilities were magnificent and the stay was very enjoyable albeit breif.
1st class,stunning building in a great location.
Everything from the welcome to the room and facilities was excellent which made for a great last 8 days in Sydney on our Lions tour!.
Excellent location for us as we had a function at the Art Gallery of nsw
and could walk to and from the venue. Wonderful walk along the wharf,
plenty to look at.
A Hotel where you can relax and kick back, close to the city centre but
far enough away to feel you are somewhere else. Rooms and room facilites
are excellent.
Liked the room.
Great views.
Nice restaurants close by.
Staff very friendly and helpful - even wished me 'happy birthday' which was much appreciated.
Doorman was friendly and helpful. Excellent location walking distance to art gallery of NSW, Opera House and ferries. Lovely view of water from room.
The best experience of a city break. Staff were exceptional both in their professionalism and friendliness. I loved the design of the hotel.
Everything - walking distance to Opera House through the gardens - lovely area with great little pubs across the road for cheaper meals.

Great location, close to the city but with proximity to a more relaxing seaside and parkland experience. Excellent, friendly service.
The location. We used to have an apartment almost opposite and watched the Wharf being rennovated. It was very familiar to us.
Great location easily within walking distance of Sydney CBD and tourist attractions, clean facility and friendly staff.
Location is fantastic. Good sized rooms. Very comfortable and clean, Everything you need. Reception staff very good.
Great location, quiet rooms, views of the water if not the harbour. Well appointed. Good configuration on loft bed.
Well situated .Relaxed easy ambience. Staff attentive but not invasive, happy to be of assistance.
Great location, fantastic service and friendly staff, will stay there again, highly recommended.
the staff were magic which makes the hotel. good bed and room facilities we couldn't fault.
very nice staff, good service, friendly, nice places to have dinner just beside the hotel.
Best service i have every received, very friendly staff! Wonderful luxurious atmosphere.
We were very impressed with the restoration work of the hotel and the friendly staff.
very beautiful hotel located near the city center but in a very quiet part of Sydney.
Service was faultless. Staff were exceedingly helpful. Can't help but recommend!.

Location
Building design.
A bit more expensive than my usual budget! Wish I could afford to stay
here all the time!.
Not a thing.
We did have a bit of a problem with mildew in the bathroom shower area which we did address.
The only thing that was not entirely to our liking was that the beds
were extremely soft. This didn't both us too much as we were only
there for two nights and is really a personal thing.
Can't stay longer.
Bed was a bit soft for older travelers like us with stiff backs. If you need a really firm bed, check with them if they can accommodate before booking.
Nothing.
Nothing!.
Breakfast (which we had on the first day) quite ordinary and not value
for money. Much nicer breakfast and cheaper over the road at the
restaurant. Had drinks on the first afternoon at the bar and, again,
overpriced. Would be much better to have reasonable prices and I am sure
there would be a lot better patronage as it was virtually empty.
Breakfast is appalling, little choice and in the main cold by the time
you get it back to your table. Could do also do with a lot more
atmosphere.
Nothing.
That I had to leave.
More info on the heritage of the building would have been a nice additional touch on an otherwise wonderful experience.
Not much.
When I thought I had left my keys behind in the room after I had left, I phoned Reception who put me through to an extension with a digitised voice. My call was never returned.
Purchased food left in the refrigerator was missing upon our return in the evening each of the two nights we stayed.
The charge for parking...
Could be hot upstairs and separate air conditioner (essential 'cos no open windows) was V. noisy. No problem in August but Summer may be another story.
Nothing I didn't like.
no hangers for clothes in the bathroom and nowhere to hang wet towels. if you were a little infirm the step up to get into the bath for a shower would be a real problem.
whirlpool was dirty.
Couldnt control room temp...not sure why. Too hot at night.
Nothing.
a cafe would have been good, there was very few in the area. The breakfast was very expensive and awful, most cafe's do a decent Eggs Benedict, the hotel version was horrible.
Breakfast really too expensive for what it is (30aud). Suggest
skipping it.
couldnt get early check in.
the walk from the bedroom through the first floor to get to the pool;
bourke street...felt unsafe.
accessibility to the pool was bad. It was far and we have to walk through the breakfast area.
Bath tub was difficult to get in/out; also slippery; fortunately a
staff member took the initiative to go out and purchase a bath mat for
us because we complained and Blue had none available.
A/C control did not work well so room was often too cold or too
warm.
Bar service, not enough staff on to cater for the functions.
Hotel was full staff unable to cope check in procedure was poor and like many others they always try to give you the worst rooms first. concierge and front desk service was poor .complaints procedure was also poor .they never return calls!.
nothing except the price.
Noise from street and adjoining rooms.
