Nice

The reception staff were lovely and welcoming. Rooms are nice but underwhelming. The bar and breakfast service was very slow, 25 minute wait for cocktail and 30 minutes for poached eggs. Nice hotel, but for the price would rather stay in the city

For the price paid, the room condition could have been better but the celebratory cake was a nice touch. Considering the hotel is supposed to be five stars, they should be doing regular maintenance on their lifts considering it took waiting for 5 minutes for one door to close.

A special place to stay

We attended a wedding at the Hotel and I booked two rooms for my husband and I and our son and daughter-in-law for the night rather than travelling home after it finished. It was a wonderful stay - our room was spacious with a view into the beautiful internal courtyard. The marble bathroom is huge with a separate toilet which was appreciated. Lighting and access to mirrors was great - I am short and very short sighted and often mirrors in hotel bathrooms are too far away for me to see properly when doing makeup. The large mirror in the bathroom extended to the side which meant I could both access and see! There was also a good mirror in the room so I could see full length when I dressed. The wedding g was held in the Grand Ballroom and it was a wonderful venue and a very happy night. We used the Wilson carpark downstairs which was very convenient. Staff at the reception desk were welcoming and organised an earlier checkin for us which we were grateful for. A gracious hotel in the heart of Double Bay.
