Guest Reviews

• Jessica (8/5): Fantastic location, great value for money. Will definitely stay again! - Fantastic location and amenities Quite noisy, but this is understandable due to the location.
• Herzog (10/5): - Such a convenient location and the bed was so comfy , had everything we need and very good value
• Donna (8/5): The staff was lovely and the close vicinity to where I needed to be was great just noisy street during the night - The vicinity It was a bit noisy
• Adrian (6/5): -
• zoe (10/5): - We liked how close it was to everything in the city. How cozy it was. The staff working were amazing as well and made us feel so welcome
• PetaB234 (8/5): Great value - Great location and excellent value for apartment in the city. Staff are wonderful and very helpful. Older style apartment, it is fairly comfortable and very clean, although a bit noisy from traffic and bar across the road.
• Matt (9/5): -
• Claire (10/5): -
• Andrew (7/5): Excellent location and staff but apartment needs upgrading. - Great location in Darling Harbour. The staff were very helpful and professional. The apartment layout was pretty good, with the loft etc and nice big windows. Kitchen provisions were more than adequate. The apartment was dated and run down. The bathroom needs updating. An extra toilet is needed for the downstairs guest who currently has to go up to the loft to use the bathroom. Double glazed windows should be installed as the street noise was still quite prominant. Balcony could be bigger. The blinds were not easy to open and, at one point, the weak, flimsy "chain" we used to open and close the blinds, broke and we had to ask to get it fixed. There needs to be a more substantive storage draw upstairs in the loft. Currently there is a "cage" type of set of "draws".
• Peter (3/5): Staff were great. Everything else not that good. - Location Old furniture. Room smelt. Beds very uncomfortable. Unsafe railing up top.
• Codie (10/5): -
• Elliot (2/5): Overpriced and outdated. There are better options. - The location is ok. Staff are nice. They have a policy that requires any guest/visitor to “register” aka show ID and sign their name (photo attached). Even if it’s a 10 minute visit in your room. Incredibly annoying and did not state it before I arrived at the property. Room feels outdated. 1/3 of the lights didn’t work. Lamp shades crooked, plastic plants felt awkwardly placed around room. No tea towels. Cleaning staff let them selves in without me requesting cleaning. Elevators are slow. Signs on the back of the door made me feel uneasy about leaving the room. It suggested putting the nonexistent door chain on (photos attached). For the price payed I expected more.
• markcD6313KY (4/5): Very Disappointed. - Great view, good service BUT..... rusty pan in the kitchen (which I needed for self catering), sockets falling off the wall, cracks and what looked like mould in parts of the room. Someone else's top in the wardrobe..... The room was not checked properly before I stayed and it was in severe need of maintenance. Its just not worth the price they are asking per night.
• Crystelle (1/5): -
• Brock (8/5): A bit outdated but great !! - Great location and very spacious Very outdated and a bit worn down in some areas.
• Jocelyne (8/5): Nous y venons pour la 3ème fois car nous aimons l’emplacement et le style d’appartement mais nous avons payé excessiveme - L’emplacement près de Darling Harbour de la ville et de Circular Quay Pas suffisamment insonorisé vu l’emplacement à un carrefour très fréquenté
• Alayne (5/5): It was ok but dated - The location to where my conference was It was very noisy
• sara (9/5): Great location .. roomy apartment with bed & bathroom upstairs. Could do with a little refurb. Loved having a washi - Near to darling harbour & short walk to shops. Fabulous big window and small balcony The steps out the front, when you have heavy cases
• Chontelle (8/5): Great - Location
• Shianne (10/5): -
• Ashley (8/5): - Close proximity to everything
• Bianca (7/5): -
• Ian (2/5): - Offered complimentary parking parking at Wilson parking, validated my ticket on arrival, but still needed to pay to get out of the carpark, validation did not work, cost $37
• Ngo Minh (8/5): - The location was great, the cleaning was also good Apartment for 4 but the bed and room itself best suited for 3
• Jerome (6/5): Good location, very noisy - Good location They charged additional credit card payment fees on top of the price shown in Booking.com when booking. It’s very noisy, and this impacted our sleep, due to very high traffic under the windows from very early early mornings.
• Renee (9/5): - Location was great. Paying for parking. Even at $35 a day is expensive when there 5days. $175 on top of staying. Only a positive its great they can offer a cheaper flat rate. Also a TV would be great in the top bedroom mounted on the wall 🙂
• tokos154 (4/5): Budget stay for good location and amenities. - For the price and location, amenity, it is acceptable but I would not want to stay again unless they do renovation. The room needs some renovation and furniture needs to be update, too. However for the price, it may not be fair to bring those up.
• Monika (9/5): -
• Ben (6/5): -
• David (7/5): -
• PASCAL (9/5): Séjour agréable - Emplacement central Circulation bruyante
• Mel (8/5): - Location and friendly staff
• Yu Ting (8/5): 地點超棒，就在達令港旁邊。 - 每天都有人會清理整理房間，更換浴巾 空間較小，四人入住行李箱打開，動線幾乎沒有。 廚房沒有洗碗機，且餐具較少
• Sharon (5/5): Great location and great staff but disappointed with accommodation - Location was brilliant and staff were attentive and helpful Room was very tired and needed a complete overhaul. Furniture was dated and carpet worn. Very strong smell of wet dog. Windows need cleaning and no balcony to speak of. Completely unusable
• Lauren (7/5): -
• JUN (5/5): -
• Dana (8/5): -
• Rebecca (8/5): - Great location. Friendly staff.
• Tarah (10/5): -
• Jessica (4/5): - The noise in of the street - not double glaze Worst night sleep. Not pram friendly at the front
• Gedeius (6/5): - Un emplacement idéal pour les familles, juste à côté de Darling Harbour, des restaurants, des transports, etc ... L'hôtel se fait vieux et il ne faut pas être handicapé pour monter l'escalier d'entrée. La rue est bruyante malgré les baies vitrées mais je pense qu'elles ne sont pas assez insonorisées. Le fil d'un rideau se démontait tout le temps, les meubles sont vieillots, etc ... L'hôtel mériterait quelques travaux ici et là. Attention, ils prennent un déposit pour la durée du séjours qu'ils remboursent ensuite, normalement.
• Sean (3/5): - The location makes this a noisy place to stay. Light also came in through the blinds, all leading to a poor nights sleep
• Scott (7/5): Great location, average room. Suited our needs for a couple of nights - Location is excellent with very easy access to Darling Harbour & a short walk to Wynyard tram station. Room was a nice size for a short stay Bed was ok, but not great. Room was showing its age with some pretty old fittings, particularly in the bathroom. Traffic noise was pretty loud even with windows closed & blinds down
• Peter (9/5): - We thought the location was very practical, with the shopping precinct and darling harbour close by. The staff were very pleasant and we were very happy to have a washing machine and clothes dryer in the appartment.
• Timothy (3/5): Horrible from start to finish. - Location only Old, noise levels beyond belief. Blinds that let morning sun in, no reception to control noisy neighbours, smelly room, low ceiling (hit my watch on the roof taking off a jumper). Slippery steps the only way in, dirty ac unit, sloping bed.
• Charlotte (9/5): Wonderful. - The location was in a great spot for where we wanted to go. Close to Town Hall station and the shops there. Really nice view from the balcony and all the facilities were really clean. There were no paper towels provided to wipe down the dishes. But other than that, everything was great.
• Jennifer (10/5): Great location, lots of room for a family - A fantastic location for small children wanting to see the sights of Daring Harbor and Sydney Tower
• Jason (10/5): - Easy to get we're we had to go very friendly owners and workers great view
• Kristy (8/5): Staff were amazing and accomodating. The location was perfect. The cutlery in the kitchenette could do with a top up and - Staff were amazing and accomodating. The location was perfect. The cutlery in the kitchenette could do with a top up and re-fresh and the pull out could do with an update- but other than that perfect for travel with kids 😊 Nil
• Lukas (10/5): -
• Yusliandi (9/5): - Location No parking
• Gem (9/5): -
• Vincent (1/5): - L'emplacement Le personnel. Jamais personne a l'accueil... et comme les cartes d'entrées qu'on nous a fournies ne fonctionnaient plus régulièrement, a ete planté plusieurs fois devant la porte sans personnel pendant les horaires officielles. Et après on nous explique comme a des idiots dans quel sens passer la clef. Et ca marche pas plus bien sûr. Et pour on leur laisse une valise à garder dans la journée. On revient et plus de valise. Ils l'ont envoyé par erreur dans un autre hôtel.
• Harry Hong Wei (6/5): -
• Tam (7/5): - Easy access to everything around the city. Location was too noisy at night. Sofa and dining chairs were dirty and not comfortable. Shower cubicle/ tub was way too small and hard for a normal sized adult to have a shower comfortably without hitting themselves on walls or the glass shower screen. Room wasn't spacious enough. Lucky we had only 2 luggages.
• Andy (8/5): Great for Sydney stopover - Great location, great staff, clean, fully equipped apartment. Noisy outside especially during evening - BUT as expected for the city center. (Full air con, can keep balcony doors shut!)
• Patric (10/5): -
• Elodie (8/5): - Tout , parfait appartement , bien situé, personnel très gentil , je recommande
• Thi Kim Anh (10/5): - The location is perfect for darling Harbour views
• Reto (7/5): -
• Antoni (7/5): -
• Melinda (5/5): Location great, accommodation poor. Definately not worth the $600 a night we paid for both appartments.Oh and $50 extra - The location was great. The appartments were average as far as cleanliness. The bathrooms were full of mould. The noise level from outside is off the Richter scale.. and the female staff member at the front desk was not very helpful.
• Carla (10/5): -
• Sheryl (1/5): -
• Cassandra (10/5): - The staff were wonderful and very accommodating when we arrived late. It's close to great restaurants, ferries and fun attractions Nothing
• Robyn (2/5): If you don't care about comfort,smell, value for money & noise then stay her but otherwise forget it - location ONLY The pictures on the website do not look anything like the rooms, I was overcharged as per my booking, please DO NOT WASH the front steps in peak time it was very slippery, suggestion to remove half the furniture in the rooms there is no need for it. Maybe a good time to refurbish as it is so our dated for the price only good thing was the location. Sorry but until improvements are made I will not stay at this hotel again
• Jean Sebastien (8/5): - La situation géographique de l'hôtel est parfaite, La propreté de la chambre est très bien, Le personnel est très accueillant et disponible. Il n'y a pas de volets aux fenêtres (stores déroulants) et les bruits de la rue sont insupportables. Il faudrait songer a installer des doubles vitrages, cest un minimum !
• Mathew (7/5): -
• Trajko (10/5): -
• belinda (9/5): -
• Veronica (7/5): - The view was beautiful The balcony door was making a loud high pitch noise all night and day. The bath tub had a landlord special aka, painted bath tub.
• hetal (7/5): -
• Kelly (7/5): -
• Z2640QGshaunc (10/5): Spectacular view - I stayed in one of the exec apartments that overlook the harbour with the loft bed and expansive views. While a little rough around the edges, the apartment has heaps of space and light and that view is absolutely spectacular. Although I didn’t need to use all the facilities in the room, it had all you would need too. Great place to stay if your thinking of Darling Harbour area
• Aidan (10/5): Had a great time! Very central, right on darling harbour, beautiful view - Great views, the loft bed was awesome Not to much couldnt fault anything
• Justin (7/5): -
• ALAN (8/5): Above average - Street noise
• tracey (8/5): Clean comfortable amazing location, not ideal for disabled - Location Smaller then images perceived
• David (8/5): - Location, room amenities. Just an overnight stay, but apartment was well kitted out for longer stays, with washing machine, small fridge freezer, microwave oven, toaster and full crockery/cutlery/glassware for four. Superficially clean, but staff obviously don't move beds. Accumulation of dust and lolly wrappers under bed.
• Loretta (4/5): - Location The state of the carpets was very bad....they looked dirty and the stairs were not covered well and i had to walk around with shoes on The lounge chair was sticky and the sofa bed matress was badly marked the bedding looked awful also There were mould stains in the bathroom near the floor next to the toilet Thr shower and the bath didnt seem clean and i slid on the rubber shower floor mat as it was so old it lost its grip All walls needed cleaning and the air con unit was near falling out of the wall This was not value for money
• Faliki (8/5): -
• lisa (5/5): Updates needed but great location - Location great! Staff friendly! Handy washing machine! Very tired apartment! In need of a major overhaul, main bed upstairs was passable in comfort but the sofa bed for our son was shocking! So creaky and sagged terribly needs replacing ASAP! we were a family of 4 and there was barely any room to open our case, way to many unnecessary pieces of furniture!
• Michael (7/5): Nice small hotel but needs to improve basic amenities somewhat - Location, access good. Staff efficient and friendly. . Shower pressure poor. Bedside reading lights in poor condition. Blinds very difficult to open.
• Madalena (10/5): - Zach was great
• Wendy (4/5): Unfortuantely not for us. - The location was great. Room OK bed Ok but upstairs bathroom not for us The noise was horrific every day and nights worse main drag pub accross road was loud.
• Lilibeth (9/5): -
• Jaclyn (7/5): Great staff and excellent location - Location is amazing. The apartment was a bit rundown down. No chairs on the tiny balcony and full of weeds. A coffee machine even just a cheap Nespresso would have been good because coffee is not easily accessible and the kettle was icky and the Instant coffee was not good. For what we paid I would have expected something a little nicer
• KAREN (8/5): - Location location location Needs a little makeover
• KAREN (8/5): Comfortable and affordable place to stay overnight - Location and views were fantastic Very tired , needs a little makeover
• joshua (8/5): -
• Paige (10/5): We had a great stay here. The staff were wonderful from the moment we arrived . From checking us in early to giving us a - The staff were wonderful, the location was great, clean and tidy, beds were very comfortable. No complaints
• Angelina (3/5): - location of the apartment was convenient and staff were polite. the water pressure in the shower an the kitchen was no existent and made it almost impossible to have a shower plus we notices mold in the bathroom due to no airflow. -_-
• Julie (9/5): Thumbs up - great location - location fantastic - high traffic noise but to be expected for CBD location - we still slept with no issues Was told before booking we could store our bags if we arrived before check in time. Wasn't great to find our bags sitting at reception for anyone to simply walk off with. A secure room is needed to store luggage!
• Declan (7/5): - Location The bedding was horrible
• Steven (7/5): -
• Mollie (10/5): - Location Brighter light needed in the kitchen
• marco antonio (8/5): -
• Kaitlyn (9/5): Great views and central location - The location was amazing and the views fabulous The access with a pram was difficult for young families
• Danielle (8/5): -
• Rebecca (6/5): - There was no access for prams to get up as the only entry was up the stairs
