Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Grand By Skycity from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious and clean rooms, many boasting amazing views of the Sky Tower and Harbour Bridge. The Grand By Skycity's prime location puts you within easy reach of attractions and dining options, with a tunnel connecting directly to the casino. The pool is great for swimming, and guests appreciate the well-equipped gym, sauna, and outdoor deck, however some have noted the strong smell of air freshener throughout the hotel. Breakfast receives positive marks for its wide variety, and for some, parking validation added extra value to their stay.
