A Comfy Studio for 5 Next to Darling Harbour

A Comfy Studio for 5 Next to Darling Harbour Overview

First Impressions

Walking into A Comfy Studio for 5 Next to Darling Harbour feels like discovering a well-kept secret in the heart of Sydney. The Edificio REX building on Kent Street might not look like much from the outside, but honestly, that’s part of its charm — you’re getting prime real estate without the flashy hotel lobby markup. This four-star setup delivers exactly what it promises: a genuinely comfortable space that sleeps five people without feeling cramped, which is actually pretty rare in Sydney’s CBD.

Location Magic

You know what really sold me on this place? The location is absolutely unbeatable — I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from Darling Harbour, but tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with constant tourist crowds outside your window. Kent Street puts you right in the thick of things, with Wynyard Station just up the road and the Harbour Bridge practically in your backyard. I found myself walking everywhere instead of catching transport, which saved a fortune and let me stumble across those little laneway cafes that make Sydney special.

The Space Itself

The studio layout is cleverly designed — whoever planned this actually thought about how real people live and move around a space. The room manages to fit five people without that sardine-can feeling you get in most city accommodations. There’s proper storage (thank goodness), and the windows let in decent natural light, which makes a huge difference when you’re staying for more than just a night or two. The whole setup feels more like borrowing a friend’s well-appointed apartment than staying in a typical hotel.

Daily Life Here

What I really appreciated was how easy it made the everyday stuff — grabbing coffee in the morning, ducking out for groceries, meeting up with people around the city. The building itself is quiet enough that you can actually get some rest, but step outside and you’re immediately connected to everything Sydney has to offer. I spent most evenings walking down to the harbour for sunset, then wandering back through the city streets. It’s the kind of place where you start to feel like a temporary local rather than just another tourist passing through.

Why Guests Love It

Couples seem to particularly love this spot (and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little Sydney hideaway), but honestly, it works for any group that wants to experience the city properly. The 8.9 location rating from recent guests isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects that rare combination of being central enough to walk everywhere important, but residential enough to feel like you’re actually living in Sydney for a few days. You’re paying for the location and the space, and both deliver in ways that’ll make you want to extend your stay.
