    • The unit was not clean…. We had no water for most of our first day there. And the comforter they was hidden between two sheets (not even a cover) was disgusting. Covered with blood spots and what appeared to be feces. Spoke to the reception and the female working was disgustingly rude and non apologetic. I have filed a complaint with the customer relations with regards to receiving compensation. And awaiting a response.
    • The size of the room and the location.

    Cons -

    • I’m leaving a negative review because there was construction during our stay. The noise started at 7:00am and continued for hours, and we couldn’t sleep properly. This seriously affected our experience.
    • The lobby, was too small with no restroom.
    • the addl night we request is already expwnsive

    I didnt get to stay at all!! Absolutely disgraceful reception with a 'sign call this number if needed" so I called and a flustered guy came out of the lift, no logo on shirt, you would never have known he worked there so I said I was checking in and asked to leave my bag and he looked like he had no idea what to do so he said just leave it in the back room and I asked "don't you need my details" and he said no all good. so I left my bag as I was early but took a photo of my bag and it's surroundings first and went to work, only to receive a call 2hrs later that my booking had been cancelled and they couldn't accommodate me in any other room. I went back online to check booking.com and the apartment I had booked which was the last one at the time suddenly appeared $200 dearer than I paid. I have also booked them for a family christmas on the 7th but will be cancelling as I don't want to risk this happening again when I am with my family!!

    Easy to check in, spacious room, close to the light rail and Darling Harbout

    Was a bit noisy during the night. Room could have been sound proofed better.

    7HelenPosted on: 9-30-2025

    Good location, easy access to city and attractions. Room was clean and spacious.

    A lot of noise from the street at night.

    8Markie71Posted on: 9-3-2025

    The room was nice and the lifts were quick. The location was great - easy access to the city and beyond.

    The reception times stated 1000pm, but no one was there at 930. I got into the foyer luckily and then had to wait for someone to come.

    Good location, well priced

    Rooms had very basic facilities

    6IanPosted on: 4-29-2025

    The hotel is well situated close to China town and Darling harbour and was competitively priced. The room was spacious.

    The Wi-Fi only worked intermittently, and the TV was not operating correctly. I had previously stayed at the hotel and these problems had not occurred.

    Great location, close to Sydney shopping, Darling Harbour & Lyric Theatre. Close parking & a couple of options. Reception was friendly & helpful.

    8VoahangialisoaPosted on: 4-23-2025

    Room very spaciousFantastic location, convenient to watch a concert at the ICC, have late dinner in Chinatown, early breakfast in the city...

    Lack of privacy, had to pull the blinds down at all time.Strange smell in the lift.Pricey but it was the Easter weekend, and it was the cheapest room available in town!

    1HildegardPosted on: 4-22-2025

    helpful staff as I had a lot of luggage and am dependant on my walker.

    Cockroaches in kitchen, bathroom, bed and on me!!! I took a picture and left one carcass as proof, killed several others and put them down the toilet. Had to leave early for that reason and asked for reimbursement of one night - which the staff member agreed on, but not the email-adress I had to write to. I am really angry as I couldn't sleep the second night after all the killings = was scared to have more crawling over the pillow and me...So, where is my money?
