Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m really sorry your night was disturbed - being unable to rest properly can take so much away from a stay. I wish we’d had the chance to help at the time. Our reception team is here around the clock, and you’re always welcome to call us, however late it is, so we can do our best to make you comfortable. I also understand your disappointment with the coffee. It’s a small detail, but one that can make a morning more enjoyable. If an in-room coffee machine is something you’d particularly enjoy, The Homestead Suite, Shearer's Suite and The High Country Suite each have one. We’d love to welcome you back and leave you with a happier memory of your time with us. Warm regards, Sophia The Hotel Woolstore 1888 Sydney

Love this hotel. The staff the hotel, location/convenience everything is wonderful. The only reason I didnt give A. 10 was the ground floor room (004) that I was in on this stay had A. noise , maybe air con or motor of some sort, that was audible all night. It wasnt too bad but enough that I kept wondering what it was. I know its an old building, which is part of the charm.

Absolutely love the care and attention to the design details: architectural touches; room numbers; decor. A bit disappointed with the communication - I emailed 1 week prior asking to have champagne/wine in our room to celebrate a personal occasion and also to alert to our early arrival. I received no answer . The checkin process was late and frenzied, and we were not acknowledged as having waited over 7 hours for a room. Perhaps customer service training could be prioritized.

This is the 3rd time we've stayed here and every time I feel a little disappointed. The location is excellent which is why we keep going back, but the rooms are just not ideal. We were in a queen room which is barely big enough to turn around. The shower screen was well short of what I'd considered standard and so water pours onto the bathroom floor, no matter how hard you try to keep it dry. I miss things printed in booklets. I needed to call the desk at night and couldn't even find the reception number. It's not hard to put that on the phones so people don't have to hunt for how to call the desk late at night. The breakfast is always busy but I'd say understaffed, and the menu is ok. Nothing special. There are virtually no vegan options aside from avo toast. Please put some beans on the menu! It's fine if a short stay but I don't think we'll return.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. I’m sorry we let you down again. We value our returning guests, and it’s disappointing to know that despite choosing us three times, you haven’t had a stay you’ve been fully happy with. Your suggestions are sensible, and we appreciate how clearly you’ve explained what would have made a difference. These are details that deserve more attention from us, and your comments will help guide that work. I understand your hesitation to return. Should you choose to give us another opportunity, we would be glad to help you find a room that better suits your needs and make your next visit more comfortable. If you decide to give us another chance, please email us directly at HC… We’d love to personally arrange a room that suits your needs and take extra care to make your next stay feel special.

There was still rubbish from the previous guest left in the fridge. Asked reception and they sent cleaners, who ignored the fridge entirely. Completely lacklustre for the price, never would again. Just did it for the Qantas eco accreditation before it disappears.

Loved this hotel for it's personalised & characteristic atmosphere in a historic, sympathetically converted Woolstore. Bar and restaurant was cosy with good food & friendly service. Great location to all of Sydney's sights, tucked behind the Novotel Pyrmont. Highly recommend!

After booking months in advance and paying in full upfront, we specifically requested rooms side by side. Instead, we were allocated rooms far apart, with one room clearly better than the other. Although booked under the same category, one had a window and a view, while the other was internal. This was not the experience we expected after planning and paying well in advance.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m very sorry that your stay did not turn out as you had hoped, especially after planning your family trip so far in advance. I understand that having your rooms close together was important to you, and it must have been disappointing to arrive and find that we had been unable to accommodate your request. While we always do our best to accommodate room preferences, these are subject to availability, and unfortunately, we weren’t able to find a suitable arrangement for your family on this occasion. I also understand your disappointment with the differences between the two rooms, particularly when you had booked the same room category. Our hotel has a unique heritage layout, meaning that rooms within the same category may slightly vary in size, configuration and outlook. I appreciate that this may not have been what you expected, and I’m sorry it affected your overall experience. Thank you again for choosing Woolstore 1888 for your family trip. We truly appreciate you sharing your feedback, and I hope we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back in the future. We would love the opportunity to make your next visit a more enjoyable one and help you create some lovely memories together during your time in Sydney.

I had a wonderful experience, largely thanks to the exceptional team. Assistant Manager Leon was incredibly helpful in resolving a confusing glitch with the Accor app, which kept switching my room rates between AUD and USD. The next day, I had the pleasure of meeting Manager Alex and their bartender, Takuya. I enjoyed great conversations with both of them, and their genuine hospitality truly made our stay amazing.

Yvonne D. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

We were at the hotel for 7 nights while holidaying in Sydney in September 2026. We booked this particular hotel as the location seemed good and Percy's looked ideal to relax after a busy day. The location didn't disappoint. It was a few minutes to walk to Darling Harbour which is full of entertainment and just a stones-throw from the tram stop to take us further into town. From Darling Harbour we could take the ferry to Circular Quay and have so many public transport options for further afield experiences. Our room was excellent. Friends we were travelling with found it small but for us it felt perfect and had everything we could need. Most importantly it felt spotlessly clean and fresh. Breakfast, which was included in our booking, was served in Percy's and was always good with a variety on the menu to suit everyone. The service was exceptional. So far, so good. The only downside was that Percy's was not always available to us in the evenings. It's a small bar/restaurant which doesn't open on a Sunday or Monday evening. We didn't realise this until we arrived so having spent more than 30 hours travelling from the UK we were disappointed that no food was available to us and it was suggested we go to the Novotel across the road. On another occasion we returned to the hotel having spent a day at Blue Mountains and intended to dine at Percy's as it had been an early start and a long day. We found that Percy's had been hired out to a private party and we were unable to use the bar or restaurant at all. Had we been advised of this in the morning it would have saved a lot of disappointment. Another trip to Novotel, which made us wonder why we hadn't stayed there at a far reduced rate that what we paid at Woolstore. Overall, would I go back? Probably. Why? I prefer small, individual hotels rather that large ones.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review of your time with us. It was lovely to read how much you enjoyed exploring Sydney from our little corner of Darling Harbour, and that our hotel felt like the right fit for your holiday. I’m especially pleased that you found your room so comfortable and well cared for, and that our breakfast team made such a positive impression. I’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to them. I know they’ll appreciate being remembered for making your mornings that little bit brighter. I was genuinely sorry to read about your experience with Percy, particularly after your long journey from the UK. I can imagine how frustrating it must have been to return from a full day out, looking forward to a relaxing evening and a nice meal, only to discover that the restaurant was unavailable. Having to make alternative arrangements on more than one occasion, especially when Percy was one of the reasons you chose to stay with us, is understandably disappointing. While we do provide information about Percy’s opening hours in our pre-arrival emails, I understand that the additional closure for a private function was unexpected and further disrupted your plans. I’m sorry that you weren’t able to enjoy the relaxing evenings at the hotel that you had been looking forward to. I’m grateful that, despite these frustrations, you still found so much to enjoy about your time with us and would consider returning. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back to Woolstore 1888, and I hope your next visit gives you the opportunity to enjoy everything you had originally looked forward to, including a relaxing evening at Percy.

Lets start with the staff are fantastic and I had a comfortable stay. Now for the price, everything has to work in the room; didn't; and when I made mention of things mid week, the staff appologised, told me they were aware of it and arranged for "happiness"; free drinks. My preference would be to provide the satff the ability to have someone (a tradie) fix the problem, instead of buying me off with drinks; which worked until you asked me for my opinion. Bottom line is fix whats wrong in the rooms.
