    My husband, daughter, and I had a good two-night stay at the Darling. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome from Patrick set the tone for a wonderful experience. Our gorgeous apartment on the 15th floor offered amazing views of the harbour. The hotel's amenities, including a superb spa and outdoor pool, provided fantastic relaxation after exploring nearby landmarks like the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. a nice trip to Sydney!

    I stayed at the Darling for a weekend getaway and was thoroughly impressed. The check-in experience was seamless, with friendly staff who escorted me to my beautiful room. The suite was spacious with great amenities, including a lovely bath and quality toiletries. Room service was delicious, and the concierge team provided excellent assistance. I especially enjoyed dining at the really good Sokyo restaurant. Little touches like complimentary chocolates and good slippers made my stay feel extra special.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    My stay was well worth the money, with a spacious and luxurious room that felt mad really like a retreat. The location was perfect for exploring, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit.

    Food for breakfast could use more variety in the options offered.

    Our room was functional and stylish, it had feather pillows. Location: the hotel was short walk to public transport including light rail and ferry, and Casino. Tried some nice meals at Cucina Porto, located close to the venue.

    What a fantastic stay! The staff were friendly and treated us like royalty. Our suite was spacious and had stunning views, plus in-room dining was quick and delicious. A couple of minor hiccups with lighting made sleep a bit tricky, but overall, we loved every moment!

    great access to darling harbour and sydney opera house

    I was thrilled to discover that Darling Harbour was just a short walk away, and the nearby Sydney Opera House was just a little over 2 km away, allowing me to soak in its beauty on my city walks. The hotel offers a great experience, with a cute atmosphere and friendly staff.

    The moment we arrived, the staff's warm welcome made us feel valued. We were upgraded to an exquisite suite that offered stunning views and luxury amenities. The rose petals and champagne waiting for us created a romantic atmosphere. Every detail, from the fantastic service to the comfortable bedding, contributed to an really good experience that I'll cherish forever.

    All good! 🥰 Everything exceeded expectations.

    The views from my room were amazing, especially with all the fireworks in the distance. Plus, the staff were super friendly and professional, making my stay much more enjoyable. The location is key too; it's just a short walk from Darling Harbour and really easy to access the city. Oh, and the pillow menu? Total game changer for a great night's sleep!

    That said, I was a bit let down by the setup of the bathroom. The glass walls felt more like a design choice than practical and definitely lacked privacy, which was awkward. the pool area had this strong smell of cooking wafting in, which totally ruined the vibe. Finally, it was a hike to get into the CBD, which wasn't ideal when you want to party like it’s New Year’s Eve!

    Nothing to complain about 😊.

    The spacious layout of the Jewel Suite allowed us to relax comfortably. The room was beautifully designed with up-to-date technology. We really appreciated the stunning views from the large windows and the friendly, attentive service. Perfectly located near all the attractions, it was an ideal base for our family trip to explore Sydney.
