Meriton Suites Pitt Street, Sydney

Sydney CBD Sydney|0.24km from The Great Synagogue
Although my room was very nice and what I expected, unfortunately my overall experience was not very pleasant at this hotel. The staff at the front desk was not only rude, they actually suggested that I find another hotel during check-in because I pointed out a fee discrepancy (credit card surcharges) that was not disclosed during my booking reservation on Trip.com app. Meriton properties doesn’t disclose before, during, or after the reservation (Trip.com) that a credit card usage fee will be added, and that’s dishonest in my opinion. What’s disappointing is the attitude I get for pointing out Meriton’s mistake. First they pointed to the sign on the front desk, however I didn’t make this reservation while standing in their front lobby. Second, they said I should have booked on their website next time where it’s disclosed—perhaps then Trip.com should remove them from their approved hotel list. Finally, to learn of the policy while I check-in by pointing to a sign at the front desk, and then being told that if I don’t like the policy that “I can checkout and take my business elsewhere”, was the last straw and is the definition of horrible customer service and poor resolution management. They could have handled this issue differently and just said, “we will look into it and try to do a better job of informing our customers of our policy online. We apologize for this miscommunication.” They did email me afterwards with an apology but they still didn’t acknowledge their dishonesty in not disclosing their credit card usage fee on Trip.com app.

Sofitel Sydney Wentworth

Sydney CBD Sydney|0.82km from The Great Synagogue
4 night stay for Vivid. Chose this as an Accor member and that it was close to the Harbour. Upgraded to a Prestige Suite, Club benefits and was not disappointed. Yes the building is not new, it’s not like the shiny new hotels in town, but it’s solid and my sleeps were uninterrupted and rarely heard noise from the hall. My Suite 930 was spacious, clean, well appointed, Sofitel Bed topper and electric sockets to plug in my adapters to charge. Like other reviews no USB ports but I’m sure most sensible travellers have an adapter. The Club Sofitel access was the perfect addition. Early check-in and waited with a hot tea while my suite was made up. It was 9:30am but the room was rushed and 30 minutes later I was unpacking. Evening canapés and drinks from 5:30pm. Table drink service by Alley and her dedicated, personable, attentive team. They remember your preferences pretty quickly and it became an oasis from Vivid hoping and sightseeing. My suite completely blocked out the light and slept through 2 alarms, it’s the Sofitel Bed topper. Breakfast at Club Sofitel, peaceful, plenty of options to choose from, salmon and capers to a great gluten free station, eggs cooked to order and a great way to start the day. Try the Dilmah Blood Orange and Eucalyptus tea. Thanks Lara. Afternoon Tea served from 2:30 and daily sandwiches , scones, cakes and complimentary drinks, tea, coffee and soft. On entering the Club Lounge, always a friendly greeting, your preferred drink served and a relaxing space anytime of the day. The Club team really made my stay, they work really hard to make your stay great. Housekeeping always made up my room before my afternoon return. Always a Bonjour as you walked past them in the hall. My stay was great. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The Lobby is grand and the history of this hotel makes her great. Not the newest but I prefer tradition and good honest service. Definitely not the style of hotel for everyone but my expectations were met and exceeded beyond imagination. Club Sofitel is a must. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was 2 nights with wife and son during the Easter Break. Pretty good and cosy hotel. Friendly employees. Swimming pool was busy, wish it was bigger. Breakfast was great. Prices were reasonable, perfect for our budget.
Meriton Suites Sussex Street, Sydney
4.3/5126 Reviews
Overall room was clean, however the USB port in the bedroom did not work, the alarm clock was not set and had an extremely annoying buzz, resulting in I had to unplug it anyway. The directions to the parking was extremely poor, no mention of a lift being used or what to expect. I suggested a flyer could be done to answer any questions for customers needing to use the car park service. There was little to no engagement of the staff about this and were only able to restate the poor information that was already given. I felt like a number and not a paying customer. It would seem your attention to details is lacking, and this would flow down from management to floor staff.

I am giving 1 star to this hotel as its not possible to go lower than this! I had an extremely unpleasant stay in this hotel..very rude staff, tiny room like a shoebox, frequent issues with internet describes my stay in this hotel. Today morning ( Oct 29th, 2022) Internet didn't work at all for 3-4 hours, I called reception to complain and the lady at reception was very rude, she mentioned that Internet is complementary so we can't guarantee that it will work!! This is 2022 our whole life depends on Internet, I was on business trip and this bad quality internet made my life very difficult. Rooms are shoebox sized,while sitting on the bed, if you stretch your arms chances are that you will reach both sides of the wall .. Lol! Lady at the reception was extremely rude, I have been travelling around the world, never experienced such rudeness from someone in hotel industry, its weird, looked like she was on a mission to damage hotel reputation. I had booked a wake up call in the morning. . Despite of confirmation no one called me. They simply don't care! STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL

Hello! I am a guest in room 8203. During my stay in the hotel, I felt the warm, friendly and considerate service of your hotel staff, which made us feel like family in the cold winter. Special thanks to the staff responsible for the cleaning of Room 8203, who clean up carefully and conscientiously for us every time. When the weather turns cold, they take the initiative to replace the thick quilts for us. There are not enough drying racks, so they take out their own clothes hangers for us. The room The door card was broken, and I contacted the engineer to repair it, and provided us with a lot of help. I hope that the leaders of your hotel can praise her, and thank you again!

The room is a bit small, and the front desk is set in the bar, but the room has to go out of the bar and go upstairs through a separate small door next door. There is no elevator. Fortunately, the stairs are not high, and there are three floors in total. The advantage is that the location is good, very close to various bus stops, and the city center. There is a free coffee and milk tea machine on the second floor, but no one seems to take care of it. The sound insulation effect is average, and people's voices in the aisle can be heard. Overall, it's okay, after all, the price has an advantage and the location is good.
