My sister and I have had a wonderful time staying at The Criterion! Every single staff member has been friendly, kind and courteous! Anything we asked for was never a problem! The rooms were great, views were great, and the food was very good! Cannot praise them enough! I travel a lot and if we come back to sydney we would definitely stay at The Criterion! 10/10 💜

I’m from a Probus club on the Northern Beaches. I took a group of 20 for lunch at 12 noon, in the downstairs dining room. It was a bit daunting, as I was told of another group of 50 booked in at exactly the same time. But no worries. We had great food and despite the numbers, the service was surprisingly good. I’d go back anytime.
