Very disappointed - no where near the 4 star claim

Room was tidy, but very dated. The bathroom looks more suited to a $50 a night motel in the country than what you would expect from the ads for this hotel. Bed was terribly uncomfortable, with a massive dip on one side. Construction machinery operated outside my window constantly. The first time I knew the pool was unavailable was when I turned up and there was a note saying it’s out for a number of months - would have been great information prior and would have impacted my choice of hotel.

Limited selection of dishes. No wine glasses. 3 mismatched fluit glasses. During booking we were told of renovations and the balcony may not be accessible during the day when work was being done outside. But, actually the balcony was not available at all. Very disappointing during the evening time.

Room was huge with a very comfortable lounge. Comfortable bed but pillows were too soft for me. Lovely view to Luna Park. Great location close to transport and cafes. One of our kitchen cupboard doors was broken which was fixed. My wire drawer unit was broken and wasn’t fixed. Someone needs to check the room before it’s occupied.

We loved the conscience of this hotel and 95% of the staff were incredible! Only issue was with a car for a night that ended up only being for a few hours! Staff went out of way to help fix and take care of issues- we blew the fuse and the dryer stopped working all fixed very quickly.

I think we have stayed her before and will certainly do again. Location is excellent just metres from Wynyard station and minutes from circular quay. Plenty of eating opportunities close by including two just outside the front door.. Nice balcony as well. Pleasant staff. We didnt use the housekeeping service. No breakfast but plenty of coffee places and convenience stores around.

We weren't informed that the renovations happening outside of our 2 windows. Being on the 9th floor they wete using cranes and lifts passing our windows. Yes we could close the curtains, but being informed would be nice. Lots of screeming from the street, which you have no control of. In general place was nice. Regarding cleaning i would recommend the cleaners to open every cabinet and draw. (Box of condoms let in one of the cabinets, and empty bottle in the rubbish bin)...

Pleasant enough place to stay but on arrival there was no soap, no shower gel and had to ask a couple of times for these to be supplied. Then the tea was not restocked - perhaps little niggles but at the prices we were paying I don’t think we should have had to ask.

When I got there I found out the pool was closed- it would be very easy to let guests know this in advance as I would have booked somewhere else. Then they placed me in a room with scaffolding completely covering the balcony and there was a garbage bag under the bed. I called and complained about my room and they moved me (thank god) to a better room with a clear balcony. However, the staff that informed me that they felt bad for the other patrons since they are fully booked… And someone else will get my room with the obstructed balcony. That room should be closed… I’m sure you make enough money with the prices you are charging. And again, no communication about this which to me is unacceptable. I would have absolutely stayed somewhere else if I would not have lost the entire cost of my stay. All could be avoided by an email.

Apartment was not clean, mold on the window frames, hairs all over the bathroom, carpets, furnishings and windows were dirty. The windows were dreadful for a city centre hotel - sounded like they were fully open when closed. Wi-Fi was down, and the pool and spa was closed when we arrived, but no one bothered to let us know. We left after one night.
