Pros:

A beautiful hotel in an excellent location right at Darling Harbour, within walking distance of Sydney’s major attractions. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of options.

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this hotel again on our next visit to Sydney. Highly recommended!

Pros:

Great location, so close to so much! Rooms were comfortable and a good size. Staff were lovely. Lifts take a while to get up/down so just be mindful of those if you are in a rush!

Cons:

Wasn’t too impressed with the food options available. For instance, the room service menu was a bit odd (didn’t have a just a plain beef burger). Also, the hash browns at breakfast were TERRIBLE. They were overcooked, and didn’t have any potato in them. The restaurant was lovely though, I think it just perhaps needs to be a bit bigger with more options.

Pros:

아주 만족스러웠습니다. 행복한 신혼 여행이었으며 프론트 안내원도 정말 친절하고 역과도 가까우며 객실도 매우 청결하고
가성비또한 최고였습니다. 다음에 시드니 여행을 온다면 또 방문 예정이며 너무너무 만족스러운 신혼여행이었습니다

Cons:

없습니다.
