Exceptional – Charlie from Australia (9/10)
All good!!!
Great location, Darling Harbour at your door step. Comfortable room with great view. A bit pricey! – Thach from Australia (9/10)
Best thing about this hotel is the location. Darling harbour is right at your door step. Nothing else you need. To travel around, there are Light rail and Metro system and you only need a credit card to travel. No need to buy the Opal or any other travel card. Even the ferry to go across the harbour from Opera House to Taronga Zoo, all you need is a credit card. Touch on, touch off. That's it. So easy! Room has good space, good bed, stunning view from your window. Everything here is very comfortable. Great staff service.

Amazing location, great amenities and comfortable beds! – Rebecca from Australia (8/10)
Check in was a breeze, the concierge staff were lovely. I was hoping for a room on a higher floor based on the price and room selection but was still very satisfied! Location is great for exploring the city and a nice walk into the heart of Sydney. Amazing location if you have a view of Darling Harbour for the Saturday Night fireworks!
