9.1 Wonderful
Pros:Excellent staff with one exception in lounge/bar on 36th floor. Waiter addressed me as "Boss", failed to give menu, did not mention kitchen was closed until I ordered and did not get drinks in timely manor. His poor performance stands in stark contrast to the rest of the staff. Good breakfast buffet and health club.
Cons:Better lounge experience

Pros:with good price this hotel was far the best hotel I've ever stayed. Staffs were super nice. I told at the front that it is the first day of my honeymoon, they gave me a room with better view (maybe?) I mean, superb view with both harbour bridge and Sydney opera house. They even sent us complementary champagne and a box of chocolate. Loved it so much! thank you Shangri-la staffs!
Cons:Nothing I didn't like

8.2 Very Good
Pros:They food and service were good on the Horizon floor.
Cons:We were traveling with our 12 year old,who is very well behaved. We were told by our waiter that the 7:00 hour was drawing near and my son would have to leave the lounge. Which we obeyed every night and made our son leave the lounge. But on our third night, for some arbitrary reason,the horizon lounge manager let other children stay in the lounge passed the curfew hours, after he had requestied our son to leave. We questioned him and he flipped flopped with his story and then announced that all children were allowed to stay in the lounge for the rest of the week due to the Easter holiday. We just didn’t like when some people aren’t made to obey the rules and the manager fails to enforce them.
