Best Hotels near Darling Harbour, Sydney

I had such a good stay there. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were particularly excellent - every person was incredibly kind and friendly. Binay was really lovely and helpful and Jandro, the manager was wonderful and always had an incredibly welcoming smile. I wasn’t expecting such a good experience considering how cheap it was, right in the heart of the city, but the hotel ticks all the boxes. I would definitely recommend this, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Our stay here was for 3 nights. We booked the King suite room. It was huge! We could have had a dance party in this room. It was quiet, the AC worked well, it had a balcony, and a kitchenette fully stocked. The best part was the amazing breakfast buffet. I have never seen the amount of choices at a breakfast buffet as I did here. The fresh cut fruits were fantastic,including passion fruit and kiwi. It varied by the day. Real Scrambled eggs that were seasoned just right and you could add fresh sautéed mushrooms and spinach to it, baked beans, sausages, bacon, hash browns, cereals, a large assortment of pastries and mini muffins, yogurt. I complimented the chef when he came out to restock the food. The day manager, Amey, was super helpful with tips for things to see and do and getting around the city. We had a conversation with him daily and he was so easy to talk to and a real asset to this hotel. Stay here and you won’t regret it!

Good rates to stay in the heart of the Sydney CBD. Special offer for paying in cash, otherwise the normal charge for using credit card. Located near Town Hall and Queen Victoria Building with easy access to shops, restaurants and transport. Compact Queen Room was small but had the main requirements if you are only staying in the room to sleep and out all day - comfy large bed, TV on the wall, small desk and chair, air con, free wi-fi, small room safe, small fridge and coffee/tea facilities, blackout curtains, regular and nice rain shower fittings. Soap and wall dispensers of shampoo and body wash provided, but other amenities like hair conditioner, iron and iron board or dental kit can be requested from Guest Services (sign with list in the elevator). Friendly staff. Reception closed in the early hours but just use access card. A few negatives. My room was located facing the nearby wall of the building next door (so no view). I requested a view (if possible) but was informed there were no views for my room. I don't think hotels realise how any outlook can make a big difference for some guests to enjoy their stay. If I book again I would check first if a room facing the street was available. Worse and disturbing for me though was the constant humming noise and sometimes slight vibration caused by the air ventilation shafts outside my window (one quite close and attached to the outside wall). It also took a couple of days and some confusion before I received a make up room/do not disturb door sign. Many hotels these days take this lightly and are very casual about such arrangements, but some guests are more comfortable having this sign. Very minor was the cold water barely ran in the bathroom basin which was a little convenient at times. There was a TV entertainment lounge nook in the corridor outside my room which was not used during my stay but I would find that disturbing if it had been. Overall a pleasant stay but check out the different types of rooms available.

I've never stepped foot in a room for more than $800 with dark curtains surrounding the room, compared to other hotels with cool sunlight and air conditioning. I didn't get breakfast because the waiter refused when I was travelling with the hotel slippers and because my feet hurt not wearing my clogs. Bad and won't be came back!

1. The location is quite good. Close to everywhere！walk to Darling harbour, china town, market city, star ****** and even circular quay！ 2.The speed of check-in is way much slow. Need patience to deal that period. And no any room service at night shift 3.建筑很有特点，充满年代感的外立面，还有内部裸露出来的主体结构。和现代化的五星酒店相比，还是比较特别的。 4.设施设备一般般，可能因为年代太久。住13层的话有隐藏电梯，上下楼快一些。

From the first steps in front door of hotel to reception area I felt welcome. This friendly welcoming professional attitude makes you feel like part of the hotel family quickly. My room was lovely and spacious. The bathroom was well equipped and the Dyptique products are tops. The observation lounge was comfortable and the drinks divine. Staff there is very capable. The spa pool and facilities excellent. I wanted to have the Sunday high tea and although the tearoom was full staff was able to arrange for me and my guests to enjoy it in the lounge. And it was perfect. Finally the ginger flower signature scent is relaxing and heightened my experience. I will always chose Langham first whenever I can.

I am writing reviews for APX Darlingharbour; to appreciate the extraordinary attributes that Mr Shakeeb demonstrates. ”Compassionate and kindness ”perhaps the two dominant detail are acquired -by the great leader - APX is always my number option because APX room amendments that other hotels don't have - as a returning loyal APX customer, I have noticed the extraordinary attributes of Mr Shakeeb, and I think it must be appreciated and recognised.

The receptionists and the room services were quite good but the lift services were disappointed. Guests were always jammed to queue up at the lobby. The hotel situated at the city centre where was convenient in transportation. Overall, I would consider this hotel a suitable place in staying at Sydney.

This hotel provides excellent service, with every detail carefully considered, making me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Furthermore, the service is absolutely top-notch, with the staff being very friendly and professional. The hotel environment is also very clean, giving me a sense of peace and reassurance. Highly recommended！！！

Been staying here for years on business trips. Front reception staff are always the highlight, very professional, friendly and willing to help. I like the option for a late check out and the offer to stow bags in the storage until it’s time to leave. Character and old world charm and history of the building and its place among the area has been preserved. By far the best value for money considering it is competing with other glamorous accommodation in the heart of the city. Walking out the door and getting on the light rail is a big plus, easy trip to Darling Harbour, Circular Quay and to the footy in the other direction towards SFS and Fox studios.
