Top hotels in Chinatown
Sydney Central Hotel managed by The Ascott Limited
Excellent location, not far from Darling Harbour and close to public transport. Room was clean and generous. The bathroom would benefit from a separate shower. Pool area and garden needs some renovations but still happy with the hotel.

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney
Nice stay, the staff was incredible. However, for a Four Seasons property it was ok. It needs upgrading, and our room was small. But the service and location was top notch. The sauna, steam room, pool area and rooms need upgradating.
