Great stay, very helpful staff. Super clean and great location
Pros:

Great location, close to darling harbour and the light rail

Cons:

They were busy so sometimes the room wasn’t serviced as we requested. That could have been because our room was the last on the floor we were on

Das Hotel war nicht ganz schlecht aber gemessen am Preis hätte ich mehr erwartet.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist wirklich gut. Das Personal war sehr freundlich aber teilweise anscheinend von der Vielzahl der Gäste etwas herausgefordert. Die Schlange beim Frühstück und die Überbrückungszeit zwischen ich habe Hunger und es gibt Frühstück war dann auch mal etwas länger. Das Frühstück war jetzt nicht das allerbeste aber völlig in Ordnung.

Cons:

Man hätte evtl. das ganze etwas besser in Ordnung halten können. Ich persönlich mag es immer recht gerne wenn nicht nur oberflächlich geputzt ist sondern auch unter den Betten das Einweggeschirr und die Essensreste des Vorbenutzers meines Zimmers entfernt sind. Der Siphon des Waschbeckens hat vor ein paar Jahren bestimmt auch noch besser funktioniert. Die Dusche war OK aber irgendwie auch nicht wirklich gut. Offensichtlich hat ein regionales Event ich tippe auf den Sydney Marathon zu höheren Preisen und mehr andrang in der Stadt geführt. So das ich dem Furama evtl. unrecht tue wenn ich behaupte das sie zum Beispiel die Anreise und das Frühstück nicht gut unter Kontrolle hatten. Evtl. ist auch besser geputzt wenn nicht das ganze Hotel so stark ausgelastet ist. Von anderen Hotels bin ich eigentlich auch gewöhnt das eine zweite Rolle Klopapier zur verfügung steht falls mal die erste Rolle leer wird. Vielleicht habe ich auch nur wegen des von mir als gehobener empfundenen Preises ein gehobeneres Hotel erwartet.

Pros:

El desayuno muy bueno, cuenta con 2 cafeteras automaticas para preparar cualquier tipo de cafe de muy buena calidad.

Cons:

Podrían mejorar dando la opción de almuerzo o cena ya que cuentan con la cafetería que es muy amplia y solo se usa para los desayunos.
