We got a great price when booking the Radisson in Sydney, we booked on lastminute.com.au and stayed at the Radisson for 4 nights upon arrival in Australia. The hotel is located within walking distance to the main shopping areas. A walk to Darling Harbour takes about 15 minutes. We got a fabulous room with a huge bathroom (walk in shower and big bath). We had room service in the middle of the night (jetlag...) and the service and food was great. The internet only cost 18 Aussie dollars for 24 hours which isn't bad when you compare it to other hotels in Sydney. For breakfast we walked a few minutes to the nearby restaurants and cafes. In general, we had a great stay at this hotel. We would definitely stay there again!

I've just returned from a rare, very much anticipated long weekend in Sydney with my sister, and am now looking forward to a good night's sleep! We booked the Radisson after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, and were hoping for a bit of luxury to spoil ourselves. Instead, we got a very average room (okay, we booked on Wotif, but even so). We had booked two single beds, but basically got a king bed that had been split in two but both sides were still right next to each other (I mean literally, about half a centimetre gap) - not ideal at all. The beds were peculiarly made with thin mattresses on top of other enormous mattresses, with sheets that didn't tuck in properly and it all just kept sliding off and coming untucked. There were two odd bedside lamps hanging right down from the ceiling at head height, so every time we got out of bed or sat up we banged our heads. We didn't even get saucers to go with our cups. Our bath plug leaked, and our lamp wasn't working (to be fair, they did fix the lamp as soon as we told them about it). The swimming pool was average (the pictures do it a lot of favours), the steam room smelt horrible, and the spa was tiny and closed for maintenance. The whole hotel felt like a bolthole for airline staff and for corporate conferences.
Good points: great location, beautiful building (on the outside only, at least in our experience), staff quite helpful.
Bad points: completely unrestful.
What a waste of a holiday! Sydney was fun though.

We stayed at the Radisson for 8 nights in February. The hotel was fantastic. Great location right in the heart of the city, within walking distance to all the main sights.

Concierge were very helpful with arranging trips and gave some good tips on restaurants to go to.

Breakfast was a little overpriced and the food was not that great. We ate there once and after that went out for breakfast which was much more interesting - eating at pavement cafes in the sunshine.

The room was average in terms of size, bathroom was great with separate shower and bath. Very comfy and it was always a great place to come back to after long days exploring Sydney.

The small pool and gym were a bonus considering the great price we paid. We swam each evening and most of the time had the pool to ourselves. I also had a massage which was fantastic and pretty good value for money.

Food in the restaurant in the evenings was good too, although we preferred to eat out in Sydney.

Overall a fantastic stay at a great price. We would not hestiate to book again when we go back to Sydney.

My husband and I have just returned from celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary at the Radisson Plaza. Our weekend was made extra special by the wonderful, friendly staff members there. Starting at check in we were upgraded to a Plaza Club room on the 10th floor by a very helpful young lady (we had already booked an 'Indulge in the City' rate which gave us access to the Plaza Club lounge). The concierge and the young man who brought up our luggage couldn't have done more for us.
Access to the Club lounge proved to be one of the highlights of our stay, especially the breakfast which had a great selection and included lots of fresh fruit, yoghurts and pastries and a delicious mix of 4 hot options (different choice the next day), as well as the usual cereals, juice, toast etc and good espresso coffee. The Plaza Club staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help, bringing coffee and toast and even arranging with housekeeping to change our doona for a blanket, they really made us feel at home. Canapes served each evening in the Club lounge with a glass of sparkling (or wine, beer etc) also put us into celebratory mood and solved our problem of needing a quick snack before leaving for the Opera one night.
The room was lovely with the most comfortable hotel bed and pillows I think we've ever had. Decor was elegant, marble floored bathroom had a full length bath and separate shower. Only negative was - we would have loved a second armchair. There were two chairs but the other was a padded desk chair which belonged to the handy business desk.
On leaving we were able to store our luggage for as long as we needed and when we collected it the helpful doorman not only lifted the cases down the stairs but gave us full instructions for the next leg of our trip. Full marks to the professional and ultra friendly staff who made our stay so welcoming, we look forward to returning in the future.
