Sabrine N. Business - 4/15/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

I had a great stay at this hotel during a short two-night business trip. The room was comfortable, with a very cosy bed that made it easy to unwind after a long day. Everything was clean and well-kept, which I appreciated. The standout feature is definitely the location. Being right on Darling Square meant there were plenty of great dining options just steps away, and it felt safe walking around at night, especially along Barangaroo. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming throughout my stay, which made the experience even better. Overall, a solid choice for a convenient and comfortable stay.

Dear Sabrine, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are delighted to hear your room provided the comfort needed for a productive business trip. Our team takes pride in maintaining clean and welcoming spaces, and it’s heartening to know you appreciated the care taken with your surroundings. That said, we regret any inconvenience you encountered regarding access during your stay. Our central location in Darling Square offers convenience, yet we understand the challenges of navigating a bustling area. Please feel free to reach out to our 24-hour reception for any assistance in future visits. Lastly, we’re glad the cozy bed helped you recharge after busy days. Safe travels and productive journeys ahead! We look forward to welcoming you back. Kind regards, Matthew Hill, General Manager
