Feedback about The Darling At The Star Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Darling at The Star is praised for its clean, modern, and spacious rooms with luxurious facilities, making it an ideal Sydney stay for many. Its central location provides easy access to Darling Harbour and a nearby tram station that quickly connects you to the heart of Sydney. Some guests have found the view from certain rooms to be less desirable, overlooking rooftops instead of the harbor. Nevertheless, many celebrate anniversaries here, and appreciate the hotel's extra touches and comfortable beds.

The check in staff member seemed lovely. They were accommodating. Breakfast buffet is really a must do here. It was GREAT.
The room was very noisy. The room also felt very cold even after adjusting the air temperature. It would revert back to cold every time i changed it. Too much bother.

Really good Stay at a Luxurious Jewel Suite

modern technologyluxurious bathroomprivate feelcomfortable lounge
The upgrade to the Adored Suite was a good surprise. I appreciated the modern technology within the room. The bathroom felt especially luxurious. I liked the lounge area. Its seclusion from the bedroom added to the private feel. I stretched out and relaxed on the lounge instead of sitting on a bed.
The gym had two treadmills and two bikes, but one of the bikes was out of order.

The breakfast buffet offered a really nice spread. It's located next door at Harvest Cafe. I found it convenient being in a building called the Star, offering shops and dining.

Satisfactory Experience

The room featured wireless phone chargers built into the bedside tables. Soft lights turned on automatically in the bathroom at night, a nice touch. Electric drapes were included, and the technology was simple to use.
The shower holder was loose. It would fly back and hit against the wall if I used the handheld shower only. I also had trouble adjusting the room temperature because it kept reverting back to cold.
