Hotel Morris Sydney - Handwritten Collection

“Chic yet old style charm and service in Sydney’s Haymarket.”

I checked in, in a Grande King room for the weekend at this relatively new yet, old school designed hotel in Haymarket, Sydney. First impressions: the hotel really reminds me of small boutique hotels in Europe, especially Paris with bespoke designer furniture, unique art work on the walls and light fittings that could be from another era, yet everything is super comfortable to exacting modern standards. I loved the wallpaper on level 11! The service is simply impeccable. Nothing is too much trouble to the dedicated staff and dare I say there is none of the patchiness in service that there is a tendency to encounter in some larger 5 star chain hotels. The grande breakfast which was included in my room rate was also delicious with lots of choices. I have to admit I travel a lot for work and pleasure and have a tendency to prefer the larger chain 5 star hotels, due to my addiction to executive lounges. I have to say during this stay I did not miss the absence of an executive lounge. Everything was spot on. I would stay here again.

Hotel Morris is a fresh and quirky place to call in for drinks or a meal or to stay overnight. The staff are enthusiastic and the decor is fun. Our evening meal was really tasty and the hotel breakfasts were fabulous - especially the scrambled eggs. The accommodation is compact and, although attractive, some of the room fittings (such as shelves next to the bed and large vases taking up most of the space on an otherwise useful surface) are impractical. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a comfy night and the shower was excellent. We'd certainly recommend staying here if you are needing access to the railway or city.

“Mixed Bag”

Hotel Morris Pitt St Sydney as Platinum in Dante King Room. Location is two blocks from Central. A bit further than the Mercure but not by too much. Close to Capitol Theatre, tram and lots of restaurants. Check in was a bit lack lustre but the morning staff were fabulous and helped us out with disposing of a broken suitcase (they always go at the worst moment). Early checkin was available - thanks. No thanks for loyalty but was told because I’m platinum we get breakfast. (I did get charged for a second cup of coffee.) Allocated a low floor room (level 3). Next door is undergoing complete rebuilding works so there is a fair bit of noise and vibration (jack hammering yesterday) during day time. Ask for a room on the right side as you face the hotel from the street. No amenity but a bottle of sparkling water, bottle of Legacy and a welcome note was delivered while we were out. Welcome drinks in bar (house wine or beer). Dante Room is fabulous. Great size and layout. Everything is clean, almost zero street noise. No power points or USB beside the bed were obvious but I’m assured if you look hard enough under the lamp they are there. The air con fan runs all night just above the bed so I needed earplugs. Good breakfast. Good buffet with a wide ala carte range.

“It’s ok”

Pretty average, nothing to write home about and overpriced for what’s on offer. Room is tiny, view of a brick wall, bathroom walls are thin, cleaners forgot to empty the fridge from previous guests, Location in the city is dirty (mind you, Sydney is dirty anyway) and blink and you’d miss the entra… more

Pretty average, nothing to write home about and overpriced for what’s on offer. Room is tiny, view of a brick wall, bathroom walls are thin, cleaners forgot to empty the fridge from previous guests, Location in the city is dirty (mind you, Sydney is dirty anyway) and blink and you’d miss the entrance! It’s a little inconspicuous but it’s pretty downstairs. Bed was comfy, pillows never are but we slept well and appreciated the 11am checkout. Parking is a block away (not far, really) and they validate a ticket for a discounted rate. We didn’t do our homework and found a cheaper carpark slightly closer.
