My stay at the Hyatt Regency Sydney was overall pleasant, characterized by a well-located and clean room, though there were a couple of drawbacks that impacted my experience. The bed was comfy, and I appreciated the proximity to Darling Harbour and various dining options, however, the air conditioning was quite noisy and made it hard to sleep. While the staff was generally friendly, I did encounter a few moments of less-than-stellar service, which detracted from the experience a bit.

Overall, my stay at the Hyatt Regency Sydney was enjoyable, particularly due to the excellent service provided by the staff. However, I encountered some disappointing aspects related to check-in and room amenities. The hotel's great location near Darling Harbour was definitely a highlight, making it easy to explore the area.

I had a mixed experience at Hyatt Regency Sydney. The location is fantastic, just steps from Darling Harbour and the city centre, making it super convenient for sightseeing. The rooms were modern and clean, but I expected a bit more in terms of comfort for a five-star hotel. I had some issues with the communication at check-in, and while the rooftop bar is a highlight, it was closed on several occasions during my stay.

Rooms

The rooms were modern and tidy, with comfortable bedding and a sleek bathroom, but I found them to be a bit basic, especially for a 5-star hotel. I was slightly disappointed that a pod coffee machine wasn't included and had to request a USB plug for charging.

The rooftop bar, Zephyr, had great views but was closed often for private events, which was disappointing. On the plus side, there was a nice cafe in the foyer and the club lounge had a fantastic selection of food and drinks.
