Mercure Sydney 4 gwiazdki

This is our goto hotel in Sydney. * Parking on site. Lift goes up to your room a charging station for EV * Newly rennovated. The Schwartz family have spent a fortune on it. * Taxis always out the front. * Great views of the city. The bar offers great beers from the Schwarz family brewery on tap but all others and a great selection of wines are available There are many great restaurants nearby.

The staff are great and the location is good if you are coming into Central Station. If you don’t need to stay in this part of Sydney I’d recommend somewhere near Darling Harbour, as this end of town is all traffic and not that pleasant. The room was clean and small but fine for a weekend stay. A few things which annoyed me - the bathroom door is opaque glass so if your partner turns the bathroom light on in the middle of the night the whole bedroom lights up. I don’t get it. Also there were strip lights above the bed and window which are green. Why? Another slight annoyance is that the bathroom has been updated (great) but there is no where for the hand soap so it has to live in the basin.

We travelled to Sydney by Train so we did not have our own Transport. The Mercure is close to Central so getting around the City is easy. The room was clean and comfortable. The Bed was the biggest bed I’ve ever slept in and it was comfortable. The Bathroom had soap, shampoo, hairdryer & soft towels . One end of the room was all windows with a great view over Sydney from the 13th Floor. The Staff were all very polite and happy to help with our requests. I would stay there again.

We booked the Mecure for a 2 night daddy daughter getaway. and my daughters birthday. To our surprise the hotel arranged a beautiful chocolate cake and card for our arrival to the room! The friendy staff checked us in at 2pm, an hour earlier then normal. The hotel is located close to the train station, close to Chinatown and all the main attractions (including public transport). The beds were nice and firm (hard to find in most hotels these days), and great to jump on like a trampoline (daughters idea not mine). We both agreed the pillows were a bit hard but its difficult to please everybody in that department. The lighting in the room included LED/disco lighting, providing much entertaining for my daughter lighting the room up lkke a rainbow for much of our stay. The buffet breakfast was excellent providing all diffrrent kinds of foods which was high quality. The main downside was the pool area which was a bit dated and could be improved. Overall a very enjoyable stay, thanks to the Mecure staff. We had a bed design competition too, see pic.

Short walk from Central station. We had a couple of very loud and energetic toddlers which staff at front desk were very accomodating towards. My best friend even popped in to visit during our stay and even when he was being a complete Karen, staff remained professional and helpful. Really cool lighting in the rooms which entertained the little ones before bedtime. Convenient store right in front. Very handy location. Walk to everything. We were allowed a later check out and had plenty of time to feed kiddies and take for a morning swim in the hotel pool. Nice pool. My only small issue would be that a few pool tiles appeared to have a bit of mould on them.
