3 day holiday

Just spent three nights in an animal view room, the koala was not very cooperative in letting us view him from our room. Room was very nice and the staff very helpful restaurant ME-GAL was very nice also and the food was delicious, just dont go there to get a cheap meal!come and go as often as you want to enter the zoo, very well organized. Would go again.

Loved the unique experience of staying 'at the zoo' but it was expensive for what you get

7.0

It was a unique experience. We loved being able to enter the zoo in the morning before the crowds came (albeit was only 30 mins). The view of the city was spectacular. Loved seeing the Koalas up so close to our window.

It was my daughter's birthday. There were 6 of us and we had 2 rooms to accomodate us. My two daughter's and one's partner went up a few minutes before us. When we arrived, they had already been seated and i asked the host if we could please sit together as it was her birthday. She rudely told me they were busy and that wasn't possible. Despite 2 separate families next to us had 3 and 4 tables pushed together to accomodate their group. The breakfast was extremely average for a Michelin Key hotel- Qantas club does a better one! Coffee - 2/10 The pillows were horrible. No slippers and the floors felt sticky. The couch had stains all over it. Uber from Mascot airport was A$70. I was disappointed that at no point was I informed that there were tours available to us as part of our stay. If i had known there was a night tour i would have booked our lunch in the city and theatre show as a matinee so we could have experienced this - instead we missed these. Better communication would have been appreciated. It was an expensive stay for one night - sadly it didn't hit the mark!

Taronga Experience

10.0

What a fantastic experience. Wow veiws from every area. Stayed for 2 nights, with a trip into the city. Easy access to all areas and very relaxed helpful staff. Dinner was at their restaraunt, Me-gal, another great experiance, with breakfast there as well being the usual type. Access to the city was via ferry. 10min walk through park to ferry or catch bus, and a bus from ferry on way back. You have a pass to get back in to reception when park is closed. We did 3 guided tours that happen outside of open hours, Morning, afternoon and afterdark, definatley a must. Final day, they hold your bags at check out and you pick up at end of day. Then you can spend the day exploring the park. There are approx 15 min shows on at various time worth seeing.

Exceptional stay in a unique location

Waking up to bird sounds, and koalas outside my window. Also, simply walking around the hotel buildings is like going on a canopy walk in the forest.
