What Previous Guests Had to Say
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Darling at The Star is praised for its modern and spacious rooms, some even described as amazingly so, with the added convenience of wireless phone chargers. Its prime location next to The Star casino in Sydney's Pyrmont offers easy access to attractions and restaurants, and a tram station nearby makes getting to the heart of Sydney quick and simple. The pool area is often highlighted as a chilled space to unwind, though some guests have noted the absence of a dedicated lobby bar.

Excellent Hotel Experience

clean suiteconvenient locationbreakfast optionsuntidy pool
My Jewel Suite Spa Bath was clean. I appreciated the short walk to the ferry terminal. It made getting around convenient. The breakfast was great with many options. I was very grateful for the complimentary room upgrade I received for my stay.
I had some issues. The pool area needed tidying and there were used plastic cocktail glasses in the pool. This detracted from the otherwise great experience.

the wireless phone chargers built into the bedside tables were useful.
i was surprised when a staff member rang my service bell around 10:30 pm. they let themselves into my room to deliver a fruit platter i didn't order, that intrusion felt unsettling and a complete disregard for my privacy. it was never addressed or resolved by management. the team member's intrusion, fruit platter delivery
