So we recently travelled to Sydney for a 5 night stay with our children at the intercontinental after lots of back and forth on where to choose! I’m so glad we chose here though as our base, as the stay was wonderful! We had a classic east harbour view room which was spotlessly clean, and had amazing views! The room was spacious even with 2 queen beds in the room, the towels were plentiful, fresh bottles free of water were replenished daily, and there was even a spare adaptor plug if you needed it to use! The best part about this hotel though was most definitely the breakfast though! We are well seasoned travellers and have stayed in hotels all over the world, but this has to be the best hotel breakfast selection we have ever had! The location is a stones throw away from the metro, ferries and train station, and provides an amazing base to a Sydney adventure! Just on a side note, we paid approximately $87 for a single trip to Sydney airport from the hotel, which can be organised by the concierge and this service was extremely quick & efficient. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!!!
