The Hilton Sydney is praised for its excellent location, right opposite the Queen Victoria Building and near Town Hall Station. Guests appreciate the modern and clean rooms, some featuring amazing block-out shutters and great city views. The hotel offers convenient access to shops, Darling Harbour, and Pitt St Mall, though some guests have noted that rooms can be on the smaller side. A highlight for many is the delicious and varied breakfast.

central locationtrain stationshopping mallsmall bedbroken tvpoor curtains
The location is quite central. The light rail stop is right in front of the hotel and Town Hall train station is a short walk away. Easy access to Westfield shopping mall is available. It is also located right opposite the majestic Queen Victoria building.
I did not like the bed as it was very small. The TV was not working, and the curtains did not block out any light. The room was nice though I did not find it comfortable at all. The bed, the pillows, the room temperature was difficult to control and the TV was not working

The new lighting in the halls is appealing. The Executive Lounge access proved valuable. I enjoyed the diverse food and beverage options. Staff fostered a cute atmosphere. It was lovely to relax there. My upgraded City Suite was perfect. It offered ample space and privacy.
The room temperature controls did not allow settings lower than 19 degrees Celsius. I found this a bit too warm.
