Central Hotel with large well equipped rooms

Excellent hotel . 5 min walk to Darling Harbour . Round the corner to the tram to the harbour. The room itself was spacious and clean with great kitchen facilities , sofa and dining table. The bathroom was also large with toiletries supplied. The only thing that is missing is a bar in the hotel but to be honest there are lots of options in the location. The pool area was a bit grubby so we didnt use Would definitely recommend the hotel though and stay here again.

Clean property, incredible bed (in my opinion), and the balcony was a nice touch. All staff i encountered were very helpful and very friendly, decent value in room dining (again my opinion). Close to the ICC (5-10 min walk). We had a wonderful stay and will definately return best sydney hotel i've been to in 2 years. Bonus points for the food and beverage vouchers for looking out for the environment.

Very comfortable hotel in a great location

Stayed for a week in a 2 bed room with family of four. Plenty of space for the 4 of us, decently equipped kitchen (would have liked a toaster), comfy beds and a great bathroom. Location is fantastic in a bustling part of town. There are lots of eating options nearby and the world square shopping centre is a very short walk. Public transport is 5 minutes walk away and gets you to circular quay for the Opera House and Bridge in 10 minutes Really great stay. Highly recommended

We booked this hotel last minute due to a flight cancellation and it was an absolute god send. So much so, that I will be staying again if I ever return to Sydney. The room (2 bedroom apartment) was beautifully renovated, so spacious and well appointed. After a long flight, I was so grateful to come back to our spacious, modern apartment and even more grateful for its full kitchen and 2 bathrooms. The beds were comfortable, the shower pressure wonderful. The room amenities well thought out. The buffet breakfast was divine, and I highly recommend adding it to your stay. My only suggestion is that when we booked the room it suggested it accommodated 6 people, but there was only bed options for 4 people. No sofa bed etc so our kids had to all share a bed - they offered a roll out bed but at a cost of $80 extra / night. So I would suggest changing the room to “sleeps 4 people” with option of roll away so people are aware to budget for this requirement. Otherwise, fabulous hotel and we will be back

After booking a double room we were upgraded to a two bedroom apartment which was amazing! Very spacious with a full equipped kitchen, separate dining area with seating for six and a generous lounge area. The main bedroom has a king bed and ensuite while the second bedroom has two single beds and another separate bathroom. The buffet breakfast is lovely with plenty of choice. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the light rail, buses and Town Hall trains. There are plenty of cafes, hotels and bars to choose from and it is close to shops and major Sydney attractions. It is fast becoming our favourite hotel!

Location was good near Darling Harbour. Hotel was a bit worn with some mould in our Bathroom. Pool was cold on one of the days and spa was out of order both days which was disappointing. Most upsetting was we booked for 2 adults and 1 child but did not receive a bed for the child. When we questioned the hotel they said we had to use existing bedfing or pay $80 per day for a roll away. They gsve us a sheet and blanket and child had to sleep on couch. Disappointing when you put in the search accommodation for 2 adults and 1 child.
