Pros +
- Location is amazing for touring darling harbour and surrounding area
- Location
- The hotel's location is good.
Cons -
- We saw cockroaches in our room, no insulation on the windows so you hear EVERYTHING going on in the street below- cars, drunken fights, motorbikes, every car horn honked every 30seconds. Made it difficult to sleep
- Uncomfortable bed and noise from outside
- Unfortunately, the check-in reception is in a different building from the accommodation, and there is no lift to Level 2. I had to carry my luggage up and down the stairs during both check-in and checkout. While the staff were somewhat helpful, this setup is far from ideal.The lack of accessibility is a serious concern—especially for guests with knee issues, those using wheelchairs, or families with prams. This limitation should be clearly disclosed on the hotel’s website or during booking so guests can make an informed decision.

Location is great and staff were friendly.
Could hear the traffic all night.
Good breakfast, Darling Harbour.
Noise overnight.
the staffs were very nice and supportive, the facilities are a bit old but still in good condition, they prepared sofa bed for my kids well. the location is so convenient , just next to the Aquarium , 5 mins walking and also walking distance about 15-20 minutes to city center.
Very well kept unit, very clean, close to transport, shops, Darling Harbour etc.
On night we were there street was noisy from time to time with traffic and revellers.
The place was perfect for a weekend stay. Loved the apartment feel rather than a motel feel. Was a fantastic location, close to everywhere we wanted to go. Will definitely be back with the family to use the rooftop and pool. Great value for money.
location close to Darling Harbour
Unit was dity with only superficial cleaning and with cockroaches in the kitchen area. Air Conditioning was very poor - taped up with sticky trape and no cold air. Street location meant that very noisy with windows open to let in fresh air.Steep steps (approx 15) to ground floor area where lift is located meant lifting heavy suitcases to lift level.
The location is great, the only thing it has going for it. The check in staff were very helpful and polite. Making the best of horrible accommodation, I guess.
The room we had was very run down and in desperate need of upgrading. Bathroom was mouldy, and the bath/shower is absolutely unsafe with the big step into it for starters, I struggled getting out and not slipping, the shower tap is way too low and the two taps to turn on the water involves a long reach down very low. High risk wet areas, that’s for sure. The noise during the night meant we had very little sleep, loud cars, buses, trucks constantly - with no double glazing it’s crazy! Pillows were awful.
Great friendly staff, good price, handy location
Room not very soundproof, very noisy and got little sleep
Location wise, it was at walking distance from main Sydney attractions including Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Sea Life and Wild Life Park, Darling Harbour, etc. AC wasn’t good. Also it was sort of weird for me that house keeping visited the room while I was away.
Very quite and good location
Couldn't work the TV
No access for wheelchair or ease of drop off or pick up. Only stairs and is very inconvenient carrying luggage down the steps.
The location is fantastic and the space is clean
Unfortunately, there was no fan available and the air conditioning was not working properly.
Convenient location, had pull out sofas.
Bathrooms are quite outdated and the shower head was like a pressure washer and couldn’t even get my head under it being 6”2
Location
We didn’t like at all one of the double bed, was a sofa bed and in really bad conditions. We slept 2 nights and was terrible, still back pain.
Location was good
Mould in bathroom on room and in corners, not acceptable. No double gazing windows so no sleep due to traffic all night, could hear conversations on the street. Felt like we had doors and windows open.
Great location for us as we wanted to be close to the Aquarium and Barangaroo which was only a few mins walk, also close to othe tourist spots like The Tower and Pitt Street Mall.
It was obvious the carpets had not been cleaned in a VERY long time, this was really the only gripe I had about the place. My feet were literally black after walking barefoot on the carpet, and my daughters sox were filthy dirty and no longer white after walking on the carpet for a short time. It wouldnt cost much to get the carpets cleaned and would make the world of difference. Also the kitchen floor had abviously not been mopped or properly cleaned in a long time either.
Spacious with a good balcony.
Was very dirty and the air con didn’t work for a while.
