Fantastic hotel! Please note most rooms are not ocean view more of partial view only. We stayed at the large suite those are full ocean view. Friendly and helpful hotel staff very clean and extremely well maintained property! Highly recommend! Probably only thing missing would be room service as there is a restaurant in the hotel.

A beautiful hotel near the waterfront. There is convenient underground parking for your car. Our room was clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient, with shops, supermarkets, and a bookstore all within walking distance. If we visit this city again, we will definitely stay at this hotel.

We were so happy with our stay at the Sidney Pier Hotel and Spa. We were in town for a family wedding and were among our extended family. It was so nice to be staying so close to each other. Our rooms were well appointed, we appreciated the keurig as well as the kettle for tea. The cups are a little small, would be my only complaint. There is not a pool, which was a little disappointing, although we were very busy with our event. The staff are very attentive and helpful, particularly the front desk. She was so friendly and helpful. we felt at home although this was our first stay. I don't know why Sidney Pier is rated as a three star hotel, because it is on par with the five star hotels we've stayed at. I highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in the Sidney area.

Shout out to Jenny (from the block) and Christine at the front desk. The epitome of great customer service. It's always the little things when it comes to a hotel stay. Never mind that The Sidney Pier Hotel is in a prime spot and you cannot replicate that. When I stay at a hotel and it has the little things such as a Nespresso coffee machine, fluffy towels, comfortable beds & linens, and great toiletries; that's what makes a big difference between a fantastic stay vs a mediocre stay. The Sidney Pier Hotel hits all the little things that make a difference. The big chains could steal a page out of their book if they really want to take their game to the next level. Or stay mediocre and allow The Sidney Pier Hotel to continue setting the bar. I know it will be my first choice next time I'm in town.
