I have an upcoming stay and read the entire thread. I saw some common themes, and thought it would be useful to start a wiki. Please feel free to update or correct anything. I haven't stayed here, so the information is based on the contents of the thread:
- Diamond Suite Upgrades are NOT available at this property.
- Diamond members receive a complimentary full breakfast for up to 4 guests.
- The beds are very firm platform beds. I saw a few posts where a foam pad for the top of the bed was requested.
- Docked cruise ships that may obstruct the view from the Harbour view rooms.
- The hotel is 4 stories.
The concierge desk offers a weekly tour of the Rocks on Saturday.
Link that shows when cruise ships will be docked opposite the hotel:

No, I got no notification of anything prior to arrival. Note that on days that cruise ships are in port (which was 3 out of 4 days when I was there) the "Harbour view" rooms might have a view mostly of the back end of a cruise ship. The Queen Mary 2 was in port on my last day, it is huge. This is another reason to try to get an Opera View room, they point away from the port across the harbour towards the Opera House, whereas the Harbour View rooms face the nearby cruise ship port. I think that having an Opera View room would greatly enhance the experience at this hotel.

If this happened during my stay I would be demanding one night be comped. Imagine being on the street, in a bathrobe for 2 hours!

Wow. It says they evacuated the hotel but also says only eighty people were evacuated? It has 155 rooms. Maybe some people just didn't answer the door. Or at 9:20 a.m. maybe a lot of guests were already out.

Just checked in for a three night stay - paid and points. Welcomed and checked in at front desk and told it was out 10th year and 10th stay at PH Sydney and that they would make our stay special ! Apparently there would be a few extras in our room.
Allocated standard Harbour King on 1st floor next to elevator even though my Gold Passport profile asks for high floor and I always request a quiet room,I.e. away from elevators. My view is the back end of the Queen Elizabeth. Normal amenity in room but no welcome letter.
10th stay here and worst room we have ever been allocated. Very disappointed.

Bottle of wine and some cheese which we have had previousl. Unfortunately the cheese was delivered while we were out so the room stank when we got back. So put outside overnight.
The saga continues this morning. 15 minutes to be asked for breakfast order. Coffee took over 10 minutes and the OJ never turned up. We have obviously been spoilt previously.

Maybe we are using up all the bad luck for you?

I stayed here last year on points and it was exquisite in every way shape and form. the room, service, breakfast, everything was phenomenal. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at.

My partner and I are using our free nights here in November... for the last four nights of our anniversary trip... and we got booked into the "Park King" rooms... nothing else available. They will not even offer these rooms up for sale... hoping something better becomes available... but not holding out hope.

I think that most of the city / harbor view rooms can face towards the cruise terminal, so the view could be of a cruise ship if one is docked but if the stay is several days, you should see the opera house (albeit at an angle).
