I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a lovely view over the Anzac Bridge, but the sight of 10 garbage containers was quite off-putting. The air conditioning worked well, and the presence of a working sofa bed was convenient. However, the service was a bit inconsistent with polite reception staff but varying levels of helpfulness. The location in the iconic Darling Harbour area was fantastic, with easy access to attractions and public transport. The dining options were limited to just a traditional Greek menu, disappointing for those seeking variety. The facilities were adequate, but the overall value for money was questionable with some hits and misses.

The hotel offers amazing views from the rooms up on level 12. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a wonderful view. The location is right on Darling Harbour, convenient for transport but some noise from nearby factories. The dining experience includes delicious iced and frozen coffee. The price is considered a good value for money overall.

The hotel has a convenient location near Darling Harbour, providing easy access to the underground and various local attractions. The rooms offer a unique experience with sound effects but lack views, and the shower setup is interesting. The service, while efficient in addressing requests like organizing twin beds, could use a warmer welcome towards guests. Dining options include regional dishes at Pancakes, and the facilities meet basic needs for a comfortable stay.

I stayed on the Penthouse floor, and while the rooms lacked a view, they were spacious and modern, equipped with all the amenities shown in the photos. The sound effects added an interesting touch to the ambiance. The service at the Reception desk was polite, though not exceptional; I encountered some issues at check-in and check-out but the staff promised to address them. The location near Darling Harbour was convenient, placing everything Sydney has to offer close at hand. The dining experience at Pancakes was a delightful treat, especially with the included smoothies. Overall, a stay filled with mixed experiences but value for money was still questionable.

I was delighted with the hotel's location in the lovely Darling Harbour area, granting easy access to the underground and the new light rail system. My room, overlooking the central atrium, was clean and comfortable, but the small balcony facing a carpark was a drawback. The staff dealt efficiently with our request for twin beds, although friendlier greetings at reception would improve the experience.

The hotel is located in the iconic Darling Harbour area, making it handy to the overseas terminal. The rooms with a huge kitchen and a window onto the central atrium were spacious and comfortable for our family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The reception staff was attentive, though they initially missed our request for twin beds but later organized it swiftly. The dining at Pancakes was a pleasant inclusion. A downside was that the hotel is a bit far down a dark road from the harbor without a clear view.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are in excellent condition, with clean amenities and lovely views of a construction site from some angles. The top floors, however, provide a good view. The service had some hiccups at check-in but improved during the stay, though friendliness could be enhanced. The location is a mix of dark roads and iconic areas, with access to Darling Harbour but lacking nearby supermarkets. The dining options include Pancakes and spare ribs. Overall, it's a place with highs and lows to consider.

The hotel is conveniently located in the iconic Darling Harbour area, close to the Harbourside restaurants. The rooms need some repairs and had three bathrooms, a king bed, and all necessary amenities, but the noise from a nearby factory was bothersome. The staff, though polite, could use some improvement in customer service. The dining experience included homemade bread but was lacking in variety. Overall, a mixed experience in terms of value for money.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room had a small balcony overlooking a carpark, but the beautiful view made up for it. The bed took up all the space, making it a bit cramped, but having a personal washing machine and dryer was super convenient. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who even organized a twin bed for us after a small mix-up. The location in Darling Harbour was iconic, though a bit dark down the road, but very close to the Light Railway at Convention. Dining at Pancakes included in the stay was a nice touch. Overall, a great value for money hotel with some fantastic features.

The hotel is conveniently located amongst a busy road network and offers easy access to the convention center. The rooms are equipped with a shower instead of a bathtub, and some provide a view of the freeway, which may not suit everyone. The service is courteous, but the reception desk could improve its friendliness towards guests. Despite the noisy surroundings near a factory, the secure location is a positive aspect. Dining options are limited to Greek traditional products, and the facilities are satisfactory overall.
