My wife and I got this hotel on Priceline.com for $125 USD/night (essentially 1/2 off the price you'll find on the Marriott site) and it did not disappoint!

Features we enjoyed
- Nice large room
- Comfortable beds
- Amazing view of downtown and Hyde Park
- Great location, only about a 10 minute walk to the Opera House
- Great service - The staff at the front desk were great! They were both helpful in providing us directions in the city they also offered us a umbrella just in case of rain which was a nice touch.

My wife also loved the large triangular tub. It was a bit too shallow for my liking but she's still raving about it and we've been home for a month already.

Dislikes
- None

Would I return?
- Definitely... and most importantly I might even pay the full price. Yeah, it was that good.

Came to Sydney, Australia for a little holiday. Someplace that I have always wanted to go. The first night was spent at the Aaron's Hotel in the Hayward Market area. A very basic hotel, but nice clean and cheap at about $89.

The 2nd and 3rd nights were spent at the Sydney Marriott Hotel.

Let me be clear, because I was confused at first. There are two Marriotts in Sydney. The Sydney Harbor Marriott Hotel is the most expensive and located within a 5 minute walk from Sydney's popular harbor area. I stayed in the Sydney Marriott Hotel, which is about a 15 minute walk from the other one. It is facing Hyde Park on College St, (I think) and is located in the CBD (Central Business District).

The hotel room rates when I checked online were about $200 per night, but honestly, I used 'frequent sleeper' points that I had gathered up over the years.

Experience: I was upgraded to an executive type suite (nice) and loved the room. It was very large with lcd type television, the furnishings looked new and modern. The large jacuzzi type tub was great, because I was still recovering from a 14 flight almost 24 hours earlier. The staff was courteous, knew my name immediately and quite helpful in pointing out points of interest.

It was a great place to stay for business folks. Now you want to know if I would have paid the $200+ per night for it? Based on the initial price alone on the web, NO! However, now that I've been there, YES, I'd pay for it next time.

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures of it. However, I did for the Aaron Hotel review.

I'd recommend it for business travelers because of its location and amenities and folks with a couple of kids because of its location across from that really nice Hyde Park. Oh yes, I found a Thai (I usually don't like Thai food) restaurant two blocks away. The food was fantastic. I think it was called 'Thai Princess'.

Thank you!

The Marriott Hotel College Street Sydney was right up to expectations. The staff are particularly customer aware and friendly. The hotel is well situated to the central CDB and the stroll across Hyde Park each morning and evening was very pleasant . Just a little gtrizzle- the In Room internet charge is too expensive. AUD$29.00 per 24/7. Don't connect- hop round the corner to the Vodafone internet cafe. Very clean and well set out. $2.00 for 30mins. All I needed for checking email etc.
Some nice restuarants nearby, Oxford Street has many, but the street is dirty and though I did not feel unsafe, it seems to be the gathering place for the gay and lesbian people and the homeless. The Museum Station ( underground rail) is on opposite corner of Hyde Park and ideal for taking the Airport train to Sydney Airport. $14.00 one way.
Would recommend Marriott for visitors wanting centrally located
accomodation and adjacent facilities.

Really recommend the hotel buffet breakfast. Especially the omlettes. Nice rooms. Great pool on the roof.
