The hotel is located in a bustling area of Sydney, perfect for exploring the city with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms were comfortable, but slightly lacking in size and natural light. The service was impeccable, with friendly and professional staff. The dining experience offered delicious pastries and the facilities were well-maintained.
Staying at the hotel was like being in the penthouse - quiet, well thought out, and super comfortable. However, the internet connection was not the best. The service was exceptional, with staff being incredibly helpful, accommodating, and friendly. The location was convenient for exploring Sydney, especially with a private balcony and close proximity to cafes and restaurants.

I had a cozy stay at the hotel, with convenient access to the train station and a variety of cafes and restaurants at my doorstep. The complementary muffins were a nice touch, although the room size was a bit compact and the layout felt awkward when opening the window. The value for the price paid could have been better due to the room size.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The room was spacious, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful amenities, though it lacked some extra frills. The service was exceptional, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff making my stay even more enjoyable. The location couldn't have been better, surrounded by charming cafes and shops, perfect for both walking and using public transport. While the dining experience was pleasant, with fresh dishes, there were some missed opportunities. Overall, a great value for the money and a lovely stay.
Staying at this hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were very comfortable and stayed cool despite the humid conditions, making it perfect for a relaxing stay. However, there were acoustic transfer issues that might bother light sleepers, so it's advisable to request an upstairs room if you are sensitive to noise. The size of the rooms was a bit on the small side but still cozy for a short stay.
The hotel is nestled in an excellent neighborhood of Sydney, near the CBD suburb of Darlinghurst. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, with a touch of muskiness at times, but overall comfortable and complemented by luxurious Aesop amenities. The service is outstanding, characterized by charming and knowledgeable staff who went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is perfect for exploring local dining options and vibrant streets, although the lap pool's waterfall system may not suit everyone's taste. The dining experience is lovely, especially with the availability of courtyard seating, but could benefit from broader menu choices. The facilities offer a delightful courtyard and practical services, making the hotel a great value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room started off on the small side but expanded after two days of no service into a large space with tall ceilings, well-equipped with a microwave, kettle, bar fridge, glassware, and cutlery. The service was exceptional, from offering us a super late checkout to engaging with us beyond regular hours. The location was superb, centrally located with a fun and happening vibe, walking distance to cafes and restaurants, truly a hidden gem. The dining experience, conducive to room delivery at 7:30, was set in a beautiful courtyard with tables, chairs, and umbrellas. The facilities were great overall.
