Besides the location being right on Darling Harbour we didn’t enjoy our stay. It cost just over $1500 for 3 nights. The buffet has plenty of food but none of it was anything special. Nothing you looked forward too. More like a poor FIFO buffet. Twice I had to go and ask for toilet paper. Being only given 1 roll a day. There were never any spares in room. Same with the towels. I had to ask for towels. Run down building, needing love.

The place could do with a revamp, getting old. Was there Monday and Tuesday and was hoping to go to the restaurant on the premises however it was closed. You can order food from the bar. The pillows were like rocks and my room was overlooked by many apartments close by. I would probably pay extra and stay at the Star next time I’m in Darling Harbour.

Room was ok, but as a family of 4 booking, there was only 1 chair to share & 2cups for hot drinks. The Room Attendants left our door open/unlocked two days in a row, which was very concerning considering our belongings were inside while we were out & about! We enjoyed our stay other than these few things

There's a lot to like about this property. I appreciated the location, the complimentary bar vouchers upon arrival and the room was a great size too - but there were some shortcomings. The design of the building means if your room is close to the atrium, the noice from the lobby and bar area is quite substantial, there were a few stray hairs left in the bathroom which is a bit ick and getting to the hotel from the Darling Harbour side isn't straightforward. Overall, we enjoyed out stay.

Lots of things to like about this hotel. The highlight was probably the breakfast - so much food, and so much variety . The location is amazing and we had views of darling harbour at night. A short walk across the Pyrmont Bridge has you in the city centre. Our room was nice but we were quite disappointed with the other facilities on offer. The pool and gym are located outside and are extremely dated and small. For a family with kids on holiday this was a big let down. There is a real issue with the lifts. You would wait for 3-5 minutes for a lift to come, only to find it full, and then have to wait 3-5 mins for the next. No stairs for those willing to climb them, so you could be stuck for a long time. Everyone was frustrated with them, but I'm not sure what the hotel can do about them and the lack of them (there are only 4 for a big hotel). Overall a good stay but I'm not sure we will stay here again.

We enjoyed a family stay, with convenient parking for our large vehicle & luggage requirements. All staff were very friendly. Facilities were excellent, including buffet breakfast and in-room dining which was of a very high standard. Amazing location with easy walk to Darling Harbour. Would absolutely stay again & highly recommend.
