The bed in my room was comfortable. The blackout blinds worked very effectively.. The air conditioning was also very efficient. I found a wide variety of bars and restaurants near the harbor.

My room happened to be located across from the elevator, resulting in some noise early in the morning. It was a slight disturbance.

The breakfast was really the best thing about this hotel. I saw a gluten free section and micro greens too.

The check in process was really slow. My room was also not available at the assigned check in time. I had to wait for more than an hour.

Excellent Harbour Views

blackout shades effective air conditioning harbour view helpful staff

The room had great blackout shades. The air conditioning worked effectively.. the harbour view from level 12 was amazing. Staff were great too assist with everything, very helpful.

Our room was across from the elevator and we were woken several mornings at 4:45, 5 in the morning by residents in the corridor. They were very loud and disturbed my sleep, so I would ensure I don't have a room close to the elevator in the future.

Service

Staff members tried to accommodate us very well. The staff offered an extra bed in our room as a complement. It was a pleasure to meet the staff who try to accommodate clients with friendly approach.

faulty blinds bland breakfast

The location was acceptable being close to Darling Harbour.

The room temperature was stuck at 22 degrees. A staff member looked at it but didn't fix it. Electric blinds jammed and nearly fell apart. Staff said it needed proper repair but it didn't happen . A wake-up call happened at 7:30 despite nobody ordering it and breakfast had flavorless food.

dirty room rude hostess

Online check-in claimed my room was ready. what a joke. i got there and of course it wasn't. finally got a room before the official check-in time, but it was a disaster. rubbish littered the floor, countertops were grimy, and there were suspicious food stains on the wall. plus, the shower had a lovely colony of mould. the bar scene didn't help either. The hostess acted like she was doing me a favour by seating me, even though the place was practically empty. the staff promised to send extra amenities as compensation for the dirty room. surprise, surprise nothing ever arrived. anniversary stay? ruined. and don't even get me started on the $116 parking fee across the street.
