The distance to transport and city was manageable by the children and adults. There are some upgrades happening in the hotel - hopefully the pool and thr gym will see some upgrades too. The breakfast had a great selection of hot and cold food.

Great Hotel

We stayed in the Superior Studio was very roomy and had a balcony that we used a bit. Nice modern decor. Hotel is so central to George St where the tram runs down to Circular Square & town hall where the train station is. Also 5 min walk to Darling harbour. Supermarket also couple of minutes walk up the road. We would definitely stay again..

Disliked: Room comfort
Reception and staff all good and friendly. The accommodation was large but quite poorly stocked. Only one chair to use as a dining chair and this was an 'office chair'. The did when requested provide another chair. No cooking pots were in the accommodation. Requested a non slip shower mat - not available. This is definitely not the place to stay if you want to self cater. Very noisy from large extractor fans outside windows. Definitely disappointing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The apartment was very dated, it was like housing commission met motel. The plumbing in both bathrooms has a problem, the smell was so bad we had to keep the doors closed as it seeped into the rest of the unit. Small inconveniences like no working power point in the ensuite, no room information to show there were dining options or check out times etc, no parking, all made this over priced stay extremely disappointing.

Property was in the perfect location for what we required access to. With the kitchen in our unit, we were able to make breakfast and coffee daily without the need to ventuee out ir use the buffet restaurant (saving us some $$$). However, a toaster would have been a perfect addition to the kettle. The pool and spa had great opening hours, a perfect way to start or end the day. However, it appeared that the pool area wasnt regularly cleaned (we stayed 4 nights and the same bloody tissues sat at the pool side for the duration of our stay), so a little off putting. Although one of the elevators was out of order (clearly sign posted), it just meant a few extra minute's waiting was required or access via the stairway. Staff were friendly and helpful, and stored our luggae away upon check out as we had a late night flight, allowing us to freely explore the city on our last day. Overall, a great place to stay, with comfortable beds and a clean room. Would not hesitate to stay again for future visits.

Needs better cleaning, hair and noodles in the kitchen sink, it smelt in the bathroom as they’re was no fan. The pool, spa and sauna was nice, but even that needed a good clean and had a bad smell. Traffic noise. A hair on one of the glass cups in the bathroom. Reception lady told us our room was ready, when we got there a worker was still cleaning the windows. The bed was comfy even the pillows, the breakfast was great and the area was clean. The staff in the breakfast area were nice. The $10 discount off breakfast for opted out of housekeeping was good. Luggage storage provided, 24 hour reception. Coffee, Coffee pods, range of teas and hot chocolate free in the room. The TV in the bedroom was good as well. Nice little balcony. In room safe.

Great location, easy walk to Darling Harbour and George street for shopping and trams. Staff were friendly and happy to help were they could. Some of the amenities needed some upgrading, like the pool and gym, but still able to be used. We stayed in an older apartment, which was spacious and well equipped for a family of 4. We would stay again, but pay for an upgrade to a renovated room. Overall a good experience.
