Modern, spacious and super clean
The Darling at The Star is an up-market hotel in a fabulous location, perfect for business and leisure trips. The rooms are spacious, modern and very clean. The short walk across the bridge to the Sydney CBD is enjoyable and there are many great restaurants and bars in close proximity.

I’ve stayed at a number of Sydney hotels over the last 2 years. I went back there because of the experience the first time, and it didn’t fail this time. Great rooms and even better staff. If I’m fortunate enough to be back in Sydney there isn’t a choice where I’ll be staying.

A great location to see Hamilton and an event I had in Darling Harbour. Travelling solo, I felt very safe with easy transport late at night. Lovely staff, a beautiful spacious room. Everything you need. Loved the complimentary water as well. The shower was a bit odd, I couldn't figure out how to keep it hot but with less pressure. I've never had a hotel shower that had really high water pressure, very good for washing your hair so it's not bad, just a bit odd that it wasn't able to be lowered without lowering the temperature. Lighting was good, but I found the digital pads a bit hard to see...especially in the dark. The night light in the bedside table was really cool, but one of the tables kept flashing on and odd (switched it off at the wall). I liked that feature though.
