We stayed at the Quay west on our arrival in Oz for three days in the middle of December. As first timers to the land down under we could not have picked a better spot.
As obviously mentioned in previous reviews the view from these apartments are tremendous, well they are not wrong, whatever time of day or night you are drawn to the living room which overlooks the stunning view of the Harbour Bridge and Sydney opera House, all I can say is this is a living painting and should be entitled 'Life on the Harbour' Enough about the view I am sure you are already sold. The suites, well one of the best we stayed in, very comfortable, spacious, ameneties such as washing machine, dryer were very good. There is a small kitchen area with a large fridge,dishwasher ,microwave, toaster everything really.

The only reason I do not rate this as excellent was that Reception did not inform us that there was a free Breakfast on arrival.
We did not eat in the Suites but this brings me on to the great location, there is no need to eat there as in two minutes walking distance there are a number of eateries serving Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. (George Street).

It would appear that cafes are linked to the work place and wherever there is a office you will find Food. Only five minutes away is a Lindt Chocolate cafe worth a visit ,they only exist in Sydney. You are also close to the Rocks area of Sydney which has an abundance of History , cafes and small shops and a large Sydney Information centre. All in all I recommend the Suites for Families, there is a pool and Gym which we used and enclose photos of, and of course did I mention the view.......

We stayed as a family with 2 young kids in a 2 bed harbour view suite. My God well worth the extra for THAT view - a completely uninterrupted and direct view of Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay - we could have sat all day and night and just looked out the window. We requested a higher room to get a better view and got the 22nd floor. Really great location for the quay (literally 5 mins walk to ferries, watch out for the steep walk back uphill), the Rocks and the CBD, so overall I'd say worth the price.

They were chocca full but the service was still good. Our suite was thoughtfully laid out, spacious, clean, well decorated and maintained with all the facilities you'd expect. Kitchen and bathrooms nicely luxurious, living area furniture was a bit functional and practical, I guess geared at long stay families who no doubt give it a bit of a hammering, but still tasteful.

Good room service menu, we only ate once in the restaurant for breakfast as it was a bit businessy, but so many great restaurants around no problem. We loved this place, very sad to leave (had to relocate to slightly cheaper apartment!) and would definitely recommend.

I have stayed at this property four times now with my family and the Quay West has yet to dissappoint.

We first stayed at the Quay West seven years ago on the recommendation of a travel agent. After arriving in the middle of a record setting hailstorm, the entire city of Sydney was without power. The with charm and grace, the bellhops lugged our giant suitcases up 10 flights of stairs with only the glow of flashlights to guide us. Huffing and puffing, it was an experience I will never forget.

We returned to Sydney in August 2007, again to stay at the Quay West. I must say I was just as pleased years later. We love the magnificent view and the spaciousness of the apartments. The location is perfect for sightseeing. Everyone in our family of five had their own comfortable bed - plus two bathrooms AND a washer/dryer. The kitchen is adequate. Perfectly suited for a take-out dinners and everything you need to make your own breakfasts. There are grocery stores within walking distance. One of our rooms had an enormous patio.

But perhaps our favorite amenity of this hotel is it's swimming pool, hot tub, workout room and sauna on the upper floors. There is nothing better to combat jet-lag or relax from a day of sightseeing than a refreshing swim or a work-out. Most of the time, we were the lone occupants in the facility. The view over the city and harbor is breathtaking.

I highly recommend Quay West for families looking for higher quality, spacious accommodations in a picture perfect location in the heart of Sydney.

Had a great time will sTay again ,Buffet breakfast was great .they have upgrade the area and looks great.We loved the food and staff .We stayed over 12 nights and enjoyed every night .
