Loved it! My daughter was sad to leave - she loved to pool, the fish tank, and the chocolates the lovely concierge lady gave to her! Will definitely be staying again x

Not Quite the Luxury We Remember

We returned to the Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour after a previous stay that was genuinely lovely. Sadly, this visit didn’t live up to that memory. Maybe it was the school holidays, but the atmosphere felt more chaotic than calm. The pool—once a peaceful retreat—was completely overrun with kids. We’re parents ourselves, so we get it, but this was next level. Towels were scattered everywhere, public areas were messy, and (surprisingly) there was even a security guard at the pool. Not exactly the 5-star luxury vibe we came back for. The room was fine. Comfortable enough, but definitely not standout. The highlight was the breakfast—great variety, fresh food, and lovely service. But overall, it feels like the Sofitel is having an identity crisis. If it wants to be a family-friendly resort, that’s fine. But right now, it’s missing the mark for guests expecting a refined, luxury experience.

Had a great stay. Amazing gym, friendly staff, close to so many dining and nightlife options. Across the street from the ICC. We didn’t use the pool, but it looked nice, on the 4th floor outdoors. Breakfast buffet had so many options, incredible. Highly recommend.

Nice city stay

I loved my stay. So convenient. The only issue I had was that I went away for a much needed break where I wanted quiet. At first I found the digital key idea to be cool and the hotel welcoming with their well executed links to spa, dining etc but after several emails and messages and having to download an app that was glitchy, I found it to be the opposite of what I wanted. I had also pressed the “do not disturb” button a number of times but room service knocked a few times to check if I wanted towels etc. maybe the bottons time out. The rest was perfect. The staff helpful and friendly. The bar upstairs had perfect cocktails and the pool looked amazing.

Perfection

Divine from the first moment to the last. We stayed in a club luxury corner & it was worth every penny. From check in drinks on arrival, the beautiful pool + bar, canapé service & breakfast we were spoilt. The service was perfect, not stuffy but nothing was too munch trouble. Not to mention all the little extras that made the difference. Loved this hotel.
