Perfect location in Sydney for my honeymoon! We received a free room upgrade and once staff learned it was out honeymoon they surprised us with a free bottle of champagne and chilled glasses right at our door. We had a beautiful view on the top floor, and the bathroom was clean. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location and brand new hotel. Parking a car is not on-site which is a bit of a bummer but nice walkability and easy Hwy access. Very friendly and helpful staff.

We were able to check in early for our one night stay. Room was comfortable and very clean - what you expect from Sofitel. Location was great - in walking distance to many restaurants and shops, and Rundle Mall. Had a very early flight so we didn't have breakfast at the hotel. Would stay here again.

The hotel is very nice. I specifically booked this hotel because it stated on the booking website that it had an airport shuttle; highlighting this as "a rare find". Very disappointed to find on our arrival that it did not have a shuttle and cost an additional $80 in transport fees.
Our room was a fabulous king suite with balcony views. The location was excellent. We stayed just one night before flying out the next morning so we did not have time to enjoy the hotel as much as we'd like.

The unit was well designed, tastefully furnished and quite comfortable, with a two story design that allowed for a spacious open area and functional kitchen, with the second level containing the two sufficiently large bedrooms and a bathroom. On site laundry was a definite plus and the complimentary laundry detergent was much appreciated.

The Grace is a beautiful hotel within easy walking distance to Sydney CBD. The rooms were large and updated. Our only disappointment was that when we arrived late morning although the room was ready, they wanted to charge us$50.00 to check in early.

It is very attractive looking on the inside, including the reception area, but in particular the dining / bar and breakfast areas. The breakfast area has a breathtaking view of the lake.
Location is very central to the lakes area, where you can see water on both sides from the road. Ample Parking space, but then again my visit was off season.
The staff is really friendly and laid back. Dinner was good. Breakfast was excellent. The atmosphere at the bar was lively with music and young people...
