Why People Love It

8.1⭐3273 reviews
  • Direct access to 'Eat Street' (Church St) dining precinct
  • Beds are consistently rated as 'cloud-like' and exceptional
  • RiverCat ferry terminal is a scenic 10-minute walk away

Quick Take: A solid, comfortable business hotel that's currently shedding its skin with a lobby renovation, sitting smack in the middle of Parramatta's noisy but delicious dining hub.

Reviewed by @Juliaxeats: My partner and I needed a break, so we checked into Parkroyal Parramatta. The romantic room setup with rose petals was such a sweet surprise, and we absolutely loved the pool! Ordering breakfast in bed the next morning was the perfect way to end our staycation.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers love the location and the beds, but the elevators can be slow and the parking situation is a headache.

Reality check

Street noise from Church Street clubs can bleed into lower-floor rooms on weekends.

  • You are a foodie who wants 50+ restaurants within a 5-minute walk
  • You need a reliable business base in Western Sydney
  • You prioritize a high-quality mattress over a quiet street

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of missed coffee refills.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Clean but aging in non-renovated rooms; watch for grout issues in older showers.
  • Maintenance: Lobby is in flux (renovation); elevators are prone to delays.
  • Linens & towels: High quality, crisp, and consistently praised.
  • Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh, though hallway carpets can sometimes hold food smells from room service.

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    The 'RiverCat' ferry to Circular Quay takes 90 mins but is the most scenic way to see Sydney — sit on the top deck.

  • ✨

    Skip the hotel breakfast at least once and walk 12 mins to 'Circa Espresso' for their famous Ottoman Eggs.

  • ✨

    If the hotel garage is full (common), the 'Eat Street' car park nearby offers overnight rates.

5 things to know before you go

  • 💡The elevators can be painfully slow during morning rush hour.

  • 💡The 'City View' is mostly just other buildings; 'River View' is the real upgrade.

  • 💡The lobby floor has been reported as 'grubby' recently due to the construction foot traffic.

  • 💡You can hear the bass from the club across the street on floors 1-4.

  • 💡The filtered water taps in renovated rooms are a nice eco-touch that saves buying plastic bottles.
