The hype
Travelers rave about the Tempur-Pedic beds and the convenience of the light rail at the doorstep.
The Star Grand Hotel And Residences Sydney
$180-350/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want a high-energy Vegas-style resort experience with killer dining right in Sydney's harbour precinct.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- Direct access to Sydney's best steak (BLACK) and sushi (Sokyo) without leaving the building
- The heated indoor-outdoor pool that's actually warm enough for year-round swimming
- Residences offer apartment-style living with balconies, perfect for groups or longer stays
Γρήγορη Ματιά: It’s a shiny, busy casino hotel that delivers on comfort and glitz but lacks the soul of a boutique property.
Αξιολόγηση από @thebabybossgirl: Took the family for a staycation at The Star Grand and it was exactly what we needed. The girls were obsessed with the indoor pool lights, and I finally got to relax in a cabana. It felt like a proper holiday without leaving Sydney. Highly recommend for tired parents!

Reality check
Long-time guests note that some 'refurbished' rooms still have tired bathrooms, and housekeeping occasionally misses the details like dusting vents.
- You love the convenience of having 10+ restaurants and a theatre in your elevator bank
- You need a solid pool for laps or lounging regardless of the weather
- You are attending an event at the ICC or Lyric Theatre
Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed details like dusting high vents.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are usually sparkling, but watch for mold in the grout of older, unrenovated suites.
- Maintenance: Solid. The property is well-maintained, though some 'Residences' show minor wear and tear on furniture.
- Linens & towels: High quality. Crisp, white, and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive (signature scent), but hallways can occasionally trap food or smoke odors.

“I would appreciate a room on a high floor, away from the elevators. If available, a refurbished room with a harbour view would be ideal.”
Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the indoor/outdoor pool is heated to a comfortable 26°C (79°F) year-round.
Can I open the windows?
Only in the 'Residences' which have balconies. Standard hotel room windows are sealed.
Is there free parking?
No. Self-parking is ~$40/night and Valet is ~$85-$95/night. Gold/Platinum casino members may get perks.
How far is the Opera House?
It's across the harbour. You can take the Light Rail to Circular Quay (20 mins) or a ferry from Pyrmont Bay.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not, unless booked in a package. The Harvest Buffet breakfast is massive but costs extra (~$40-$50).
Are the rooms quiet?
Mostly yes due to heavy glazing, but internal noise from the corridor is the main complaint.

💡You might smell faint cigarette smoke near the casino entrances, even though the hotel is non-smoking.
💡The minibar is automated—move an item and you might get charged instantly.
