I had an amazing stay at the hotel with stunning views of Darling Harbour. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff made me feel very at home. However, there were some issues with the room upgrade request. The location was perfect, close to all the attractions yet still quiet. Dining was a treat with organic pulled pork on the menu. Great value for the facilities offered.

I was delighted with the hotel's location near Darling Harbour and its convenient access to all the attractions. While the rooms had a view of nearby apartments, they were equipped with air conditioning and full amenities, making the stay comfortable. The customer service was exceptional, particularly during my early morning check-out. However, there was a slight hiccup with not remembering to action my room upgrade request but overall the positive attitude and service made up for it. The dining experience was enjoyable with delicious homemade pastries. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience.

Celebrating my anniversary, I booked a room with a fold-up single bed and enjoyed a nice view of the Aquarium. The location near the harbor was convenient for accessing attractions and shopping spots, making it a great choice to explore from Barangaroo to other areas. The service, especially with early morning check-out, was excellent, with a particular staff member going above and beyond to accommodate our requests. The hotel offers useful facilities, making the stay comfortable and enjoyable.
