The Grace Hotel

“Great Place to Stay”

For the price, the Grace is clean and roomy with a lot of character. It is also central to all my needs when visiting Sydney.

“Top Hotel in Sydney”

Great stay in a historic building. Love the displays and photos of the history in which you are standing. Well appointed rooms. Lovely Staff.

“A very enjoyable experiece”

Great amenities, large, well appointed room, comfortable bed and convenient location, good value Continental breakfast.

We had an amazing stay at The Grace Sydney and would absolutely stay here again in future. Our check in was friendly and efficiant (thank you to Thy) and we were even able to get into our room one hour early. Note than you need to provide a credit card for a $300AUD hold during check in. We made two requests on our booking (lower floor and rooms near each other) and both were accommodated perfectly. The room (#319) was huge with lovely big windows and very effective block out curtains. Being an old building (1930s), the rooms are all slighty different shapes/sizes (see attached floor plan). The bed was on the firmer side but very comfortable. The shower was very spacious with two shower heads. It did take a good two minutes to warm up in the morning and does make a constant whining noise while it's running - I suspect this might be due to old pipes. The room was very clean and housekeeping did a great job every day. The location was perfect! It was one street away from the Light Rail, about equidistant between the Wynard and QVB stops. Trains were also close by at the Wynyard station. Westfield, the Strand Arcard and MidCity were all super close by. We walked to the Westfield food court quite a few times. There was also a Coles Supermarket a few hundred metres down the road. There's an easy cut through around 38-40 York street which takes you through to George Street. You can then walk through the Strand Arcade or MidCity to get to Pitt Street. Being in the middle of the CBD, it can be a little noisy at night (loud cars etc) but didn't keep us awake at all. If you are sensitive to noise, you may like to bring ear plugs. The rooms have their original windows on the outside and then new double glazed windows in front of those, probably better than most hotels! I researched a lot of hotels in Sydney and The Grace was one of the best value hotels while simutaneously being ranked as one of the highest on Trip Adviser. After staying here, I can see why it's ranked so well. You didn't need to prebook breakfast in advance, just show up on the morning if you wanted to. This suited us well as a few days we had very early starts so didn't "waste" a prepaid breakfast. The minibar in the room is complimentary and restocked daily!! Each day we got two bottles of still water, two bottles of sparkling water, an apple juice, an orange juice and two soft drinks of rotating flavours. There were six lifts and the average wait time was less than 20 seconds. I don't think we ever waited more than 1 minute during our ten day stay. The building itself is absolutely stunning. The rooms are modern but the rest of the building maintains it's art deco look. I would highly recommend The Grace and would definitley stay here again in future.
