Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's excellent location, spacious and comfortable rooms, and good service. The breakfast buffet received positive remarks for being plentiful and freshly prepared. The hotel staff were noted as friendly and accommodating. Some guests enjoyed the bathtub and the overall atmosphere of the hotel. However, there were consistent complaints about ongoing construction noise affecting the stay, and some noted outdated or worn facilities. A few guests mentioned issues with cleanliness and maintenance, such as a malfunctioning shower door and a rattling baby cot. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's central location and comfortable rooms were highlights for many visitors.

Antoine, Feb 2026
I had a very good experience at Paradox Sydney, including an upgraded room at no additional charge. However I was not able to fully assess the experience as I arrived late at night and had to leave early next day. Nevertheless the hotel is very well appointed and positioned. I would recommend it.

Pros (+) We had originally rented an apartment in Sydney. However, due to construction at night, we had to relocate. We found a great rate at the Raddisson Blu and booked it. We enjoyed the last few nights of our vacation in a beautiful and comfortable room. The hotel staff was very helpful and the hotel was spotless. We would definitely stay there again!

Pros (+) Convenient location to city attractions.
Cons (-) Breakfast prices were way too high. I paid $158 U.S. dollars and the breakfast prices were $18 to $26 US dollars. Overall I enjoyed my stay as the room was clean, quiet and comfortable.
