I've stayed at BLUE four times now - three for business and once on a weekend away with my wife and daughter. Every time I've been treated well and looked after by attentive staff. The trip with my family saw us in one of their best rooms which suited us very well. On two of my business trips, the hotel... more

After reading mixed reviews I still thought I would give this hotel a go as they had an excellent price on wotif. I enjoyed the brief walk from the city to the hotel. I found the hotel design very unique. Check in staff were excellent and unusually helpful. The reception and entrance were dark but not sterile. My room (501)... more

Fantastic location, great looking building, extremely professional employees, a real treat!! more

My boyfriend and I just returned from a little trip to Sydney and what a fabulous experience it was! From beginning to end the staff and the hotel itself impressed us greatly.

5 star hotels, in my opinion, are meant not only to provide you with evertything you need for comfort and convienience but to involke a sense of luxury and indulgence.

How on earth they have managed to classify themselves as a 5 star hotel is completely beyond me - perhaps back in the day when the hotel first opened - but in this day... more

After a very long over night flight we arrived at the hotel utterly exhausted at 8 in the morning. To our great relief the room was ready for us and the reception clerk was very nice & helpful with ideas of where to eat and what to do in the area. The bellman was there to help with the bags... more

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights at the start of a holiday visiting friends living in Sydney, and loved every minute. After battling through the rain from the airport, we had a warm welcome from all the reception staff, and fantastic service in the bar where the "mixologist" recommended cocktails...just the thing to help us get over to sleep... more

My partner and I spent the last 2 nights (22 and 23 January 2008) of our month in Oz at Blue - and it was a brilliant stay! Check in was easy and attentive - indeed all of the hotel staff, from housekeeping to reception to concierge to bar staff - were all very friendly, attentive and professional. The hotel... more
