| The Observatory Hotel is a delightful boutique hotel with beautifully decorated rooms which are now 15 years old and I think some asoects of the common areas of the hotel and the rooms may need a face lift. The walls look slightly tired and outmoded. Originally the wall paper would have been appropriate and good qualty. Keep the same style but with a fresher look. A small portable, stylish radio or easy to use FM system not acccessible through the TV would be more than welcome. |

| From the time we walked through the front door, it was first class service all the way. The staff would be one of the best that we have ever encountered. The room was superb and felt like being home more than a hotel. We would definately stay there again. |

| We have stayed in this hotel on several occasions and had made only very good experiences. The only issue we had has been with the bill as we had twice problems to get the money released that was used for deposits. However, we are going back there soon and recommend this to anyone that wants to indulge them selfs or have pets they like to take. To our knowledge it is the only hotel in city Sydney that allows pets. |

| An outstanding hotel with service to match. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants that little extra service and attention to detail. If you are an art lover the Nolan and Streeton paintings on the walls are beautiful and very impressive. The resturant is beautiful but expensive and the meal I had there was very disappointing but it could have just been a one off hiccup. Spoil yourself and book this one ! |
