We travel regularly all around the world. All 5 star accommodations and I had not come across such terrible check in system where you have to queue up like a bus stop even after online check in re which they send several texts etc. The arrogance of the staff when I complained was out of line. Remember you are in service industry. I put up with silly ‘ Bonjours’ of these hotel chains but NOT providing complimentary water at all is also extremely offensive. NEVER staying here again!

The hotel location is fabulous and is next to ICC and within walking distance to many attractions like Sea Life, Wild Life, Sydney Towle Eye, Queen Victoria Building, etc. Our room is west facing, we were lucky enough to watch the stunning sunset a couple of times in good weather. We will be back again next time. Highly recommended!!

For the price paid it certainly was not value for money.The coffee machine and the kettle had to be taken off the beverages chest of draws and carried over to the bathroom to access an electrical socket as there were none where the chest was.The so called refrigerator was just as good as a storage cupboard as it did not cool at all.There was no complementary bottled water, and when requesting room service for ice it took three seperate repeat phone calls to get a result. So all in all we were very disappointed with our stay.

I really like that we celebrated our engagement and they provided us a bottle of champagne and some mini desserts along with a card when we entered the room. They also offered us a high level with stunning private views of the Sydney harbour- the place was beautiful, cozy and luxurious at the same time. Only feedback would be wished they provide a couple free bottle of water.

Staff were awful, arrogant and unhelpful. Room was overpriced, not as advertised, then charged twice. Room was old. Amenities not on par for a 4-5 star hotel. No access to a spa or sauna unless you pay to use the “Wellbeing Centre”.
