Loved everything about our stay here. The location, the originality of the place & definitely the staff there. Everyone was so friendly & welcoming. Hotel Palisade way exceeded our expectations. The roof top bar was an added extra bonus for a late night drink with amazing views of the harbour & Bridge.

Not really anything to not like. The only thing I personally would be mindful of for future bookings in really hot weather is no aircon in the smaller rooms. Was not needed during our stay, the open window & fan were enough.

Location...great views,outside drinking area,more adult setting. Room : standard, but plenty of room Cleanliness : could not fault 2 restaurants : Public Bar for drinks and meals eg hamburgers, schnitzels. Roof top restaurant with amazing 360° views of Sydney Harbour. Food quite expensive and too many ingredients. I couldn't really taste my expensive pink snapper as the herbs masked the taste! Easy going but helpful staff

Despite the age of the building or because of it, the creaky floor boards to the folded piece of cardboard to stop the window rattling was a bit annoying. The bed was very low for me. Due to the absence of an 'official ' reception area,it was difficult to find the duty manager for information.

My husband and I spent a night in the Regi James Suite for our anniversary. Such great value for money ! The suite was so comfortable and tastefully decorated in a nautical theme. The bathroom was gorgeous with beautiful tiles. The suite had a large balcony with multiple seatings and a fabulous view to the Harbour Bridge and North Sydney. There was a sitting area inside with a well stocked mini fridge and a range of complimentary teas and pod coffees. There was even a Marshall sound system and a tv. The curtains and blinds blocked out any noise and light for a great night’s sleep. Very comfortable bed and a surprisingly quiet area of town. The location in Millers Point was brilliant- a 10 minute walk to either The Rocks or Barangaroo. The hotel amenities are also excellent. The cocktail bar on the rooftop is now covered and has stunning 360 degree views. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back !

This is an old hotel - the walls are paper thin so you can hear the guests next door and the creaking floorboards. We were lucky to have our balcony to ourselves but the guests next door also share the same balcony. There are plants and lattice separating the two balconies but it’s not private enough.

Loved the vibe, aesthetic and charm of the property. The size of the room was very generous. and size of the room. Amenities were ample. Location was fabulous and a great view of the bridge. Excellent value for money in Sydney city surrounds.

Bathroom was a little pokey which didn’t make it enjoyable. It was quite warm on our stay and the fact that the bedroom did not have windows and only the living space did was a little annoying. The pillows on the bed were also super uncomfortable and made for a restless night sleep. Though the second night was a little easier. One of the fans was not working and luckily the bedroom fan was.

Good position if off cruising..A one off experience.. eclectic..the lovely girl from Boston USA who was behind the bar..working her butt off..

They only have 8 rooms yet you still cant check in till 3 pm even though had asked for 2pm if my flight was earlier..and was told yes..the floor boards creak loudly in room and hallway..every where you step..the bathroom was the smallest one ever..tastefully done though..the room was really only big enough for one...the pub food was lovely..

We loved the heritage decor of room. The bed was super comfortable? We really loved the open air balcony with exceptional views of the Harbour Bridge, Luna Park and Berry Bay. We loved that we could lounge on the balcony to enjoy the views. The proximity to Barangaroo’s Metro Station meant easy transport. We loved that the hotel was in close proximity to both Darling Harbour & the Rocks which allowed us to explore these areas on foot and find a vast choice of eateries. It was quiet so we slept well. We will definitely stay here again!

Nothing!

The Palisade is located a short distance (walkable) to the Rocks area, near the harbour bridge and other touristy attractions. It is a clean and tidy hotel with fine dining on the rooftop and a pub at the bottom. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Being an older building, it is not sound proof and although we had no issues from either bars in the hotel, our neighbours activities both on their balcony and in their bed were clearly audible - we had a giggle but others may find this offensive.

Staying in this wonderful, boutique hotel was such a treat! The staff were very warm and welcoming upon arrival and very helpful. My large room had the most mesmerising view of the harbour bridge, with a large balcony as an extra bonus. It was also very comfortable with lovely bedding and towels too. All of the quirky, historic touches in the room were a delight, including the pull cords for lights. I wished I could have stayed longer! If you want to fully experience the magic of this historic area of Sydney, this hotel is perfect for you.

Quirky, historic building, fab location, lovely staff. The hotel couldn’t be better located, just a short walk from Circular Quay and surrounded by great bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The view from the hotel is amazing - wherever your room, you’ll be looking at the water. The cocktail roof bar is excellent - I highly recommend. Staff are friendly and super helpful. The building is very old, and with that comes all those quirky characteristics - rattling windows, creaking floorboards and not always soundproof with the room next door - but I say this with love and not negativity - it’s a genuine, old building and I loved it!

Nothing, it was fab!

Convenient location for my needs, 10mins walk down to The Rocks and cruise terminal Huge studio type apartment rather than just a bedroom Well stocked bathroom and kitchen area with mini bar Seating area and table and chairs Luckily my room had an air-conditioning unit, but I believe these are only in the larger rooms due to historic nature of The Palisade. Very interesting book about it's history in the sesting area of my room Staff kindly looked after my cases after checkout while I explored

Arriving out of hours, I retrieved my keys from the keysafe as instructed. Unfortunately the key to outside door didn't work, luckily the bar was still open so I could access my room. One of the toilets in the bar had a faulty lock and I feared imprisonment before it finally let me out. Both things duly reported, but "oh yes, that happens" was the response from the otherwise friendly member of staff
