10/10 Excellent
A really good choice in Sydney. Reception staff were very efficient and accommodation. Our room wasn’t quite ready but they offered us the lounge area that had coffee and tea including showers whilst we waited. Apartment in Block O was clean, lovely comfy bed, good bathroom and kitchen with a coffee machine, which was ideal to have morning cuppa on a nice balcony on the 12 floor.
Location was perfect, lots of shops and restaurants around in Zetland, a very short walk to the bus stop (304) into...

We opted to stay here mainly for the commanding view this hotel has over the bridge and opera house and from that perspective it didn’t disappoint
Had a better view than the bar on 36th floor / where the drinks were reasonably priced surprisingly.
Great location to walk to circular quay and recommend the .Brew co nearby got breakfast (always prefer to out of hotels if possible)

Our stay at Park Royal Hotel on Darling Harbour was nothing short of exceptional. The club room upgrade provided a spacious and well-maintained room with a stunning view of the harbour. The dedication of the room attendant and the professionalism of the front desk staff added to the overall positive experience. The breakfast selection was impressive and the service top-notch. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning to this marvellous hotel during our future visits to Sydney.

Room was perfect, very clean. Although on the smaller side, still plenty of room and storage space too. Location was great, easy walking distance from most attractions or stations. Breakfast was a smallish selection of hot food, cereals and salad, but was very good quality.

Great hotel for a few days staying in Sydney and then departing from airport. There’s a public bus that drops you around the corner from the hotel and costs next to nothing. We took this bus from and to the airport. There’s also a train station we used to get into the city and back, as well as a supermarket and nice small restaurants nearby. Room and beds were comfortable and served our needs well. Would definitely stay again if needing an airport hotel.
