9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,391 reviews)
Due to a flight cancellation and a change by over 4 hours, we arrived late at the Branksome Hotel. We really appreciated that the hotel had an agreement with a shuttle service, so our transport was easy. Our accommodation was incredible and were really disappointed that we only had hours to enjoy it, since we had an early flight. I would have loved to spend more time using the amenities- pool, etc. I would definitely stay here again. P.S. The dates listed are incorrect. We stayed there Tuesday, August 19 and left Wednesday, August 20th.

Location was really good for Darling Harbour and an easy walk also into the city. Staff were friendly. We had chosen to stay in the “Penthouse” which was anything but. First we received an email to advise they would give it to us “less for cash”?? When we got into the room, we were immediately disappointed (for a Penthouse). Really old decor, water goes everywhere in the bathroom (no screens etc), beds not made on housekeeping, no plug for the sink, filthy windows (little balcony so no excuse for not being able to reach). In fairness, we did get an email AFTER we left to say they are new owners and are aware they need to make improvements…. If they do what they say, things would be much better.

Great unique boutique hotel, loved the comfy plush bed! Loved the room layout! Loved everything - location was aces- only problem I saw was when I dropped something and had to look under the bed- it was caked in dust! If you guys clean under your beds you’d be epic - I’d have given five stars for cleanliness then!
