Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Rendezvous Hotel Sydney The Rocks is frequently praised for its superb location, especially its proximity to Circular Quay, making it easy to walk to the ferry terminal, train station, and various restaurants. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which feature kitchenettes equipped with a microwave, cooktop, and even a toaster. The views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from some rooms are considered a highlight, though some have noted that the decor in certain rooms feels a little dated. The hotel's closeness to the cruise terminal is a definite plus for those embarking on a cruise.

Convenient location

great location passenger terminal rocks area

The hotel's location was great for access to circular quay. It was also close to the overseas passenger terminal for cruises. I found many places to eat nearby, including brew cafe on harrington street. The rocks area itself is quiet at NIGHT.

The bathroom was not clean. The mdf skirting boards were failing due to water damage. I also saw obvious water damage in the corner of the room. The furniture outside was old and RUSTY.

Facilities

The on-site gym features three treadmills and two stationary bikes. There is also a pool area with twenty loungers. A shaded section provides relief from the sun. We LOVED the pool.

Okay experience, Good Location

great location friendly staff efficient staff musty room ancient carpet dated appliance

the LOCATION was great, it was close to everything. The staff were friendly and efficient. It was near the bridge, opera house, eateries, ferries and cruise ships.

The ROOM smelt musty due to the ancient carpet. It doesn't look like the carpet has been cleaned very often. Kitchen appliances must be from the 80s. They are very dated and well used.
