Great hotel situated in Darling Harbour district. Service second to none. Room best view ever. Room large and very comfortable. Highly recommended stay in Sydney Observations: The bar fridge will never cool in an enclosed cupboard with no ventilation. Ice machine on selected floors would save money rather than have delivery and wait times The room lighting controls are the strangest I have ever seen. All on all off only one night stand light works when lights turned off. Total darkness in washroom when night light feature activated.
