Beautiful hotel with high quality finishes. However it was let down by breakfast service, in regards to quality of buffe
Pros:

Location, amenities and fabulous room.

Cons:

Total letdown with breakfast service on last morning.. order simply didn’t appear despite asking 3 times…, ended up walking away without food, having paid for it while ordering. (The money was refunded). General air of disorganisation surrounding whole episode.

Fantastic base for exploring Sydney CBD and beyond
Pros:

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Porter House Hotel. The combined ambience of a older hotel with modern touches/fit out, and technology for operating many aspects of the room was wonderful. The staff were friendly, helpful and even provided a special surprise in the room for my partners birthday on request. Really appreciated this touch. The hotel is within easy walking distance of downtown CBD shops, with train lines and light rail also nearby. We caught the train directly from the airport to CBD and walked to the hotel was only 3mins away - super handy.

Cons:

If you are light sleeper recommend bringing ear plugs as this is an inner city hotel, and Friday and Saturday nights are a bit louder with traffic noise. To be expected in the CBD though. Would happily stay here again.

Would never stay here again
Pros:

I didn’t like anything about this Hotel the staff was horrible. There was noise. The alarm went off in the middle of the night while we were sleeping for no reason and when we decided to leave early, they wouldn’t even bother giving us a credit or trying to, and then they wanted us to check out early so they could sell the room to somebody else.

Cons:

It was noisy. It was not clean. It smelled weird. The food sucked, and the staff was very rude.

Heel fijn thuis plekje in het mooie sydney
Pros:

Perfecte locatie fijn persoonlijk temidden van grote hotels. Fijne bedden mooie kamers heel schoon. Zwembad was in de winter wat koud.

Cons:

Het management van het restaurant op de begane grond was net overgenomen. Daar hadden we wat meer van verwacht op basis van de afbeeldingen en reviews.

Five stars stops at the room
Pros:

A great room. But the 5 stars stop there. No classy space to sit and enjoy the passing parade or a drink and the bistro is separately managed and buffet breakfast was really basic. Bistro closed at 9.30 and room service at 10pm so don't arrive looking for a late snack. Tiny outdoor pool. Location is two short blocks from Town Hall but nearby coffee shops are all closed on a weekend there's nothing else nearby.

Great stat accommodation & location was amazing. Just disappointed in the attitude we got the morning of checkout wh
Pros:

Property was great. Location was amazing close to everything.

Cons:

We had booked 2 room for 2 nights. The other couple that was with us went for breakfast & came back to their room to get their luggage at 10.40am as check out is 11am to find they had been locked out of their room. A staff member was walking past at the time & I explained that they had been locked out, her reply in not such a pleasant manner was “well it’s close to check out time”. Not ok to lock people out of their room prior to the check out time. Would have completely understood if it was after 11am.
