The property is a bit worn out and needing a renovation. However, for the price per night it is very reasonable and you cannot beat the convenience of the location close to markets/shops, dining options, transport etc.

It was a great night. It was convenient where we had dinner inside the hotel and the staff were super friendly at BTWN. The next morning, even the breakfast buffet was amazing and the staff were great. The only downside to our stay was that our friends also checked in and it was both our wedding anniversaries. Received an upgrade and late check when they arrived however we didn’t unfortunately.

Excellent property and wonderful, extremely helpful staff, the only worry was the walk over to Darling Harbor was under a bridge along a very dodgy, not very well lit up path. A bit of paving and some plants and better lighting would definitely help.

Pretty underwhelmed by the hotel - felt a bit tired, my business partner found rubbish under the bed (clothing tags and labels), so missing a bit of attention to detail. The parking was a bit convoluted, provided a video link to find the entrance, but a map would have been much easier to follow that a 3 x speed video of a car driving.

Excellent stay! Just at check in we felt a little rush (kinda express check in) we left with no information about breakfast time or recommendations; so we had to go back later and ask. Regardless this little detail, everything was super good. Friendly staff, better location… everything is walkable and also train/bus stops are super close to the property. Food and coffee were OK. We will definitely go back. Cheers to the man at the desk, can’t remember his name (sorry) he was super informative and made us feel vip! and also the woman at the front door downstairs - always super welcoming.
