The Staff Don’t Care

The theme of this hotel is “we don’t care.” The staff were apathetic and never took the chance to go the extra mile. For example, coffee is included as part of breakfast, but when I ask for takeaway? “You must pay full price.” My shower drips water constantly? I call and tell them, then nothing happens. I have to listen to the noise all night long. No-one cares, which may be a reflection of the building that’s going up next door and slowly blocking the hotel from the water. Who knows. But unless you’re getting an incredible deal on this terrible hotel with no views and awful service, try something else.

Nice city getaway

Staying 2 nights for a family trip. Check-in was quick and easy. However, when we got to our room, we were disappointed to be allocated an accessible room, which was not what I booked. We had to request a new room due to unhygienic stains in the bathroom. Second room was clean and comfortable, son was entertained at kids corner & holiday movie night and buffet breakfast was great. Great location with light rail, Darling Harbour & the Star. I would suggest stair access to be provided as at certain times, we’d wait for 3-4 lifts before getting in.
