The bathroom had a door stop that when the door was closed was kind of in the middle of the floor and my wife fell on this and hurt herself, we reported to reception but it seems to be the design of the bathroom but this is clearly a trip hazard.

Besides the location being right on Darling Harbour we didn’t enjoy our stay. It cost just over $1500 for 3 nights. The buffet has plenty of food but none of it was anything special. Nothing you looked forward too. More like a poor FIFO buffet. Twice I had to go and ask for toilet paper. Being only given 1 roll a day. There were never any spares in room. Same with the towels. I had to ask for towels. Run down building, needing love.

The place could do with a revamp, getting old. Was there Monday and Tuesday and was hoping to go to the restaurant on the premises however it was closed. You can order food from the bar. The pillows were like rocks and my room was overlooked by many apartments close by. I would probably pay extra and stay at the Star next time I’m in Darling Harbour.

Room was ok, but as a family of 4 booking, there was only 1 chair to share & 2cups for hot drinks. The Room Attendants left our door open/unlocked two days in a row, which was very concerning considering our belongings were inside while we were out & about! We enjoyed our stay other than these few things

There's a lot to like about this property. I appreciated the location, the complimentary bar vouchers upon arrival and the room was a great size too - but there were some shortcomings. The design of the building means if your room is close to the atrium, the noice from the lobby and bar area is quite substantial, there were a few stray hairs left in the bathroom which is a bit ick and getting to the hotel from the Darling Harbour side isn't straightforward. Overall, we enjoyed out stay.
