Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing birthday celebration weekend at this hotel overlooking the harbor. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking view from the bath in the room. There is room for improvement, but overall a great experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, but there were some noise disturbances from nearby clubs. The breakfast was satisfactory with a good selection, although the space felt a bit cramped. The location was excellent for my event at ICC, right in Darling Harbour with convenient access to light rail, but the hotel seemed too small for its capacity.
I was thrilled with the incredible location of this hotel, right at Darling Harbour, making it easy to enjoy local restaurants and take walks by the water. The rooms were lovely and had a view of the harbour, though not soundproof, and lacked some minor extras like free biscuits or a bed runner. The service was excellent, with very friendly and accommodating staff, although they could be just a bit more helpful at times. The dining experience was amazing with a wide variety of high-quality food choices, but there was a little mishap with our table reservation. The hotel facilities were well-kept, and the amenity shop on the ground level added a luxurious touch.
I could hear everything from the lobby in my room, but the fantastic view of the harbor through the floor windows made up for it. The staff was friendly, although they lacked product knowledge at times. The location was excellent, with easy access to Circular Quay and Darling Harbour. The dining tasted amazing, but the same options every day were a letdown. Overall, a good stay marred by a few issues.
The hotel has modern practical layout and superb bathrooms in both rooms. They were spotless, very comfortable, and well-appointed. The service was very helpful, and the hard-working staff made the stay pleasant. The location is excellent, especially for those attending ICC with its proximity to Darling Harbour and various precincts. The dining experience was nice but could use more variety and staff. Overall, a great stay with some minor areas for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room, while clean and modern, could have been better maintained as it seemed a bit dusty and unused. On the bright side, the hotel's service was exceptional, with friendly staff always eager to assist. The location was fantastic, especially with rooms offering even better views of Darling Harbour. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with good variety but some organizational issues. Overall, a stay with some room for improvement but with standout service and location.
The hotel rooms are way smaller than in pictures with no view, making it extremely pricey. However, upon arrival, the service was able to fulfill our wish of getting a room with a bathtub and an exceptional view. At times, the service seemed a little unorganized, but the super friendly and professional staff quickly provided more towels when requested. The location is perfect if you want to be just out of Sydney CBD but still have the comfort of nearby restaurants and transport. The hotel is fantastic, especially if you are attending an event at the ICC. Despite some ups and downs, the hotel is right on Darling Harbour, close to Cockle Bay Wharf, King Street Wharf, Darling Square, and Barangaroo bar and restaurant precincts. The dining experience was adequate for a hotel of this standard, but not exceptional. The facilities are under renovation, so nothing was open. The hand-cut beef tartare was a highlight.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with great views over Darling Harbour. The rooms were excellent, and the staff was very attentive, making our stay memorable. However, there was a mix-up with the room allocation that was a bit frustrating. The location is fantastic, being right on the harbor, and the service was top-notch.
The hotel rooms were great with beautiful views and comfortable amenities, the staff was friendly, and the rooms had lots of little extras compared to other places at the same cost. The hotel was impeccably clean and amazingly comfortable at the time of check-in. However, there were some issues with the dining experience such as not getting the requested table and being asked to move; there were also some service shortcomings regarding clarity on additional charges. Overall, the location was very convenient with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions.
The hotel's rooms with views to the Anzac Bridge were stunning, clean, and equipped with all necessary toiletries, iron, and a safe. While the rooms were lovely with comfortable beds, they were on the smaller side and lacked a minibar.
The hotel has a superb location right in the heart of Darling Harbour, making it perfect for those attending events at The Convention Centre. The rooms, though spacious, can feel a bit cramped for a family of four and may get warm even with the air conditioning on. The service was friendly but had some minor issues with trolley logistics. Dining options were delicious, but improvements could be made to availability for morning orders. Overall, a convenient stay with great amenities and friendly staff.
The hotel was exceptionally clean and perfect, with a great location in Darling Harbour. However, the quilts and pillows in the room were not hygienic and need to be changed.
The hotel had spacious and clean rooms with necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. However, it was noisy at night, affecting our anniversary celebration. The bar and restaurant were impersonal and disappointing.
Our stay at the hotel was mixed. The location was perfect for our needs, but the noise in the room kept us up late on our anniversary night. The staff were helpful, but some could use more training. The dining options were limited and not impressive. The overall experience was below expectations.
The hotel rooms were lovely, clean, and well-equipped, but noisy due to poor sound insulation and ineffective blackout curtains. The service was friendly, although no additional improvements were made to enhance the stay. The location in the vibrant Sydney Harbour area was excellent, with various nearby dining options. The dining experience had limited choices and was disappointing for the price. Overall, a good stay with room for improvement.
