Great location
The location of the Hotel was perfect for our short stay in Sydney. Short walks to so many attractions. The pool was a welcome spot during very humid weather.

City Stay
This hotel is in a great location within walking distance of public transport and some city locations. The staff were friendly and helpful. The onsite eating and bar were very handy and reasonably priced. The room was comfortable, spacious and clean. The air conditioning was a bit hard to regulate, it was either too cold or too warm. It was a ducted system and may be on the oldish side? The room had all the usual amenities that you would require, and we enjoyed our stay. Definitely would stay again and would recommend this hotel.

Good stay
It was a good stay walking distance to Darling Harbour and public transport. Very good service for buffet breakfast and reception. The only downside was ordering a toasted sandwich at about 11.20pm to be told 30 mins later that they were out. Funny that there was bread and ham at breakfast the next morning.

Hotel in a good location but fail to capitalize on
Hotel location is fantastic as it is close to eateries, Woolworth mart and beautiful Darling Harbour. DH is literally 800m away. It is also close to Broadway mall which houses many clothings brands as well as Coles, Aldi and K-mart.
However rooms are dated and needs a complete sprucing up. The alleys leading to the rooms are like hostel style. For a prime location accomodation , costing AUD 200/night and managed by The Ascott, it should live up to the Ascott standard as well , don’t you agree?
