A very welcoming reception. All front staff were helpful and professional. All facilities were modern and well maintained.
The cafe food was excellent.
Clean and modern hotel. Comfortable bed with choice of pillows. Complementary still and sparkling water in room. Excellent staff. Close to the Star. Short walk to ICC or across bridge to city.
We stayed in the king room and it was fantastic. Good size room, decor really lovely, bed was so comfortable, blackout blinds for a sleep in and an incredible shower. The location is on point, 5mins walk to casino, 10mins to Seafood markets, directly across from walkway bridge to city and bonus points that parking station is literally 200mtrs from car to hotel door. 100% would stay again and recommend.
Rooms are a bit small even for the upgraded room but the balcony over looking Darling Harbour was huge.
Amenities were excellent and the rooms are all sound proof so no excessive noise from elsewhere.
Received an email after booking telling me the Parking off site was $60.
Overall enjoyed the stay.
Hotel was very clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Amenities were all very new and in great condition. Very close to darling harbour. Would stay here again.
