Had an enjoyable stay here. Rooms are comfortable with a nice bathroom. Comfy bed with a pillow menu available if the 2 options on the bed are not to your liking. The location in Martin Place is really convenient and a perfect launchpad to access anywhere in the city either via the light rail or on foot Nice buffet breakfast with heaps of variety. Fresh cooked omelettes to order, everything you would expect on a hot buffet + some extras like carved leg ham. Cheeses , pastries , danishes, + heaps more. Would definitely stay again

We had a 2 night stay and our experience was great. Full points to the cleanliness and the location. The rooms are sparklingly clean and the bathrooms look glamorous. We didn’t use any room service so cannot comment on that. Location is absolutely 💯. It is a 7 min walk to circular quay station so public transport is just a stone’s throw away.The ambience of the hotel is good and the beds were comfortable. Overall a perfect stay for our short trip !

We were so impressed with our visit to Radisson Blu Plaza hotel. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary there, and we received a complimentary bottle of bubbly and a room upgrade when we mentioned this! The hotel is immaculate, the staff are super helpful and attentive, and the facilities are wonderful. We loved the swimming pool, spa and sauna, and the full buffet breakfast was amazing. One of the most welcome perks was the 12 noon checkout time, which gave us the whole morning to enjoy our stay at the hotel, and being able to cast to the in-room TV was also fantastic. I offer this hotel my highest recommendation.

Great central hotel in the centre of Sydney! So close to everything in the city. Rooms are a good size, pool is nice. Steam room was lovely. The jacuzzi/hot tub is average. Gym is tight but pretty good for a hotel gym! Room amenities are excellent.

An easy five star for this hotel 🙌🏻 the location is super strategic, close to the shopping district, and opera house too. The room was spacious, comfortable and also modern. There was a very nice man in the front lobby who greeted us every morning and night. Super recommended!!
