Top Darling Harbour Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is such a great place to stay"

The Star Grand Hotel and Residences Sydney

2/10 Terrible

"For the price we paid over $580 we expected a lot more. The pool was full of kids screaming and yelling. Wasn't any room for lounging poolside. All the chairs were filled at 9.00am. We thought we would have a sauna only to find it filled was noisy families. Wasn't the romantic getaway we had hoped for. Buffet breakfast not included and when we went to inquire they told us it would be another $100 for my partner and I. Not worth the money. Great for families not great for romantic getaway. "

Hotel Woolstore 1888, Sydney - Handwritten Collection

8/10 Good

"Room was cleaned daily - air con was not adjustable to the room so often felt cold. The room had everything required for a couple of nights stay inc iron and hairdryer. Black background meant that plugging things in were fiddly but not too bad ( more an irritation) Staff were good and did not get in our way Local shops and restaurant were sufficient to get a variety of foods. We did not try the local restaurant in the hotel ( there was a great bagel and coffee place v close by which did great b/fast)"

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

4/10 Poor

"When you search for 2 adults and 3 children, a room at the Rydges hotel comes up and offers you a family suite. Many hotels will say unavailable as most family rooms will only accommodate 4 people. We didn’t expect that we would have to pay an extra $80 on top of the $550 we already paid for an extra bed to accommodate the 3rd child. If they are advertising that the room suits 5 people, that should be included in the price, otherwise don’t advertise it as sleeping 5 people. We didnt pay the extra $80 and our son slept on pillows on the ground as there was no couch that he could sleep on either. Felt like it was false advertisement. "
