Best Hotels near Ropes Crossing Reserve, Sydney

I’m usually a very tolerant reviewer and I understand that hotels are short staffed at the moment. So this is more of a comment on the Holiday Inn management than the staff here….. Check in took ages. I’m a diamond member and it wasn’t acknowledged (no problem). There was no comment on whether I wanted points or a drink (turns out I got points). My colleague was given a room full of someone else’s possessions. And when he came back down to reception was told ‘that’s definitely your room’. Like he was lying !! I ordered room service. After an hour I called to check it was coming, and was told it was on its way. It arrived 20 minutes later (stone cold) so I said ‘never mind, send it back for reheating’. Then I got a call to say the kitchen was closed so it wasn’t possible, and did I still want it. None of this is life threatening, but will I book here again ? Never !!! Will I recommend it ? Never !! Do yourself a favour and book somewhere else !!!!!!

Room was better than expected, extremely clean and everything was impeccable! The bed was very comfortable. We had a small king room, I expected it to be very small but there was enough room and everything was set beautifully. Breakfast was included, there is a nice bistro next to the motel, offering a simple buffet, everything was very nice. Staff very nice too. Would definitely go back again!

A great place for a combined venue with accommodation, dining and conference facilities. A bit off the city centre made transport to and from venue additionally expensive, especially for those coming from Sydney airport. Well serviced rooms and comfortable beds ensured a good night of rest after long days in meetings.

Recently stayed at this hotel as part of a sporting team spending 8 nights. Staff, from manager Mark through to housekeeping were fabulous. Very accommodating to our needs and offering solutions to make management and charging of meals easy for all. Dinner menu provided for all tastes and nightly meal specials were a bonus helping us to remain on budget. As our schedule was flexible it was possible for us to pre-order dinners and were even offered takeaway packaging if wouldn't make it back in time. Rooms were comfortable and spacious enough for adult males. Complimentary water and bathroom products in rooms was great. For groups/sporting teams reading this review, there were no kitchen facilities in rooms but we were able to self prepare lunches in available space in accommodation area. There is no on-site laundry, however laundromat available a short distance away. We had no problems with noise coming from bar area below, however no bands or big events were held during our stay.

Stayed here for 1 night while on a business trip to customers in the nearby industrial estates. Nice, spacious studio accommodation. It missed a breakfast restaurant. The study was adequately spacious, bed and pillows were comfortable as well. It had a community laundry room at the ground level which I used. For anyone who needs to stay in the Kingswood suburb, this is a nice option and I would also stay here again, as and when need arises to stay overnight in this vicinity.

I was very optimistic of this place, and indeed spent a very comfortable afternoon in air conditioning with high speed internet for work. The place is a stone's throw from a multitude of dining options, and the river, and it has a swimming pool. However there was a lot of construction noise from next door, and I never would have booked if I'd known that. It's not on the website. When I peeled back the sheets, housekeeping had left the bottom 30cm of the bed completely un-sheeted under the doona. No under protector or anything, so just my own feet on rough mattress. Awful. The bed was also pretty uncomfortable (hard) and would benefit from a topper. Someone else's dirty socks were in the safe. I was willing to overlook the tradie who came into my room while I was in there. Happy I had the chain on, and it was an honest mistake. All in all I think 3 stars is a bit of a generous review, but I am appreciative of what it's like to be in small business and have external factors affect your product. A general workshop with the staff would bring it up to scratch in no time.

It is hard to find GPS navigation here. The reception is very friendly and the environment is very clean. Originally we booked a four-person room, this time the accident rose to the 5-person family suite, the experience is good! And parking does not cost money, this is not common in hotels in Australia...

Stayed at the Pullman Penrith over the Christmas holiday period to visit the Blue Mountains. The experience was amazing over our 3 mights, 4 days stay. The rooms were spacious and clean, all the amenities and fittings were thoughtfully designed and functional. Beds were so very comfy, and the choices of pillows were amazing. We had such great sleep every night, it didn't even feel like we were away in a different place or bed. Sauna was a really nice addition, a great retreat for my parents and their friend, all in their 60's to go to after long days sightseeing in the Blue Mountains. For us, the gym was amazing, we made full use of the quipment over our time there and I've never seen such a fully fitted out hotel gym before. It's on the same calibre as a local gym you have to pay money for! And did I mention the restaurant? Daily breakfast was awesome, not a great deal of choices, but just enough to cater for all, including the picky eaters (aka kids). We enjoyed a full, nutritious breakfast every morning before going about our day touring the national park. Dinner at Marcel was beyond amazing. We had heard that reviews were good, so we booked a night to try the food. It turned out to be so good that we ended up booking again for the following night. Should've eaten there on our first night too instead of driving around looking for fast food. We also did Aqua Golf nearby which was super fun, even got my 60-something parents to swing a few, and my dad turned out to be a natural. My 12-yo turned out to be a natural genius too. He also got the chance to experience iFly just across the road, what a great once-in-a-lifetime experience. The staff was also super friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back as soon as we get a chance in the future.
