When arrived at property check in went well, got to our room which was small, smelly and dirty, with a view of a run down old building and rubbish yard. Went back to reception and said I booked a balcony suite and it took 1 hr to have correct room. Bedding was so uncomfortable and horrible. Blanket was simply a flat sheet and doona insert and another flat sheet on top. Pillows were like a bag of torn up materials. Location ok. Balcony suite eh better than the original room. Pool was meant to be heated to 28 degrees how ever felt maybe 18. Spa felt 120 degrees. Staff were nice and helpful. Room/facilities/Hotel 5/10.

Located close to China town and easy to get to light rail to get round the city; can’t beat the location of the hotel. However, lack of soundproofing means you can hear the traffic and people in the street outside and even the birds in the early hours; not so great for sleeping. When we checked in we weren’t told anything about the hotel amenities so we didn’t eat there or use the pool.

High quality for reasonable price
First I need to say I was in an executive superior apartment (not much more), and review based on that. The apartment was great, spacious , clean , modern, serviced. The main room on Liverpool side does get some traffic noise, but the bedroom has a second glass pane added, thus being a quasi-double-insulated room. I had a balcony. The location is very convenient, all trains and the new trams etc are 5 mins walk. plenty places nearby for takeaway, or a Coles in basement at world square 5 mins walk. Easy to use lobby (meeting people etc as lifts all secured these days). Well worth the money.

Booked a 1 bedroom, asked if there was a sofa bed over the phone. No sofa bed, wanted me to pay $80 for a rollaway bed or have my 10 year old sleep on a love seat! They ended up proving the roll away bed free of charge but very misleading. I would not have booked the room if I knew there was no sofa bed.

Staff were lovely. Rooms were great, had all amenities. Only downfall was nowhere to stop out the front to drop off luggage, although there is a 5 minute drop-off down around the corner, and the hotel provides cheap parking in a nearby carpark.

A location very close to Darling Harbour. You can walk easily into the centre of Sydney or there are very good transport links around. The breakfast was very nice and we had a good nights sleep. I had read a few reviews of it being a noisy location but we didn’t find this. Swimming pool is in need of modernisation but all very clean.
