    conveniently close to darling harbour and lovely parks

    I had a fantastic view of Darling Harbour during my stay, which made my evening walks truly special while I explored the area's unique dining options and beautiful park landscapes. The hotel is a short stroll from sights like the International Convention Centre and the vibrant atmosphere of the waterfront.

    rooftop pool
    value for money

    This place is a commendable fit for a quick break in Sydney with great value for the money. The rooftop pool was nice, but the bar service could use improvement. My tip is to check the room key works before heading to your room.

    no significant dining options
    traffic noise

    Effortless check-in set the tone for a delightful stay. The Luxury Corner Room with Darling Harbour view delivered stunning vistas, especially during the nearby fireworks. Staff members provided insightful recommendations for dining and were genuinely welcoming. However, one side of the hotel offers a limited view, which detracted from the experience slightly.

    dining delays

    However, there were significant hiccups. The room felt cramped for the price, not matching expectations for a special occasion. Basic amenities were lacking, like bedside lamps that didn't work and a phone that needed constant reboots. It was a hassle with the shower that wasn't cleaned for our arrival, leading to a rocky start. Dining options, especially breakfast, were mediocre—long waits for tables and orders left a lot to be desired. The bar closed early, which limited relaxed evening options.

    good location but a few service hiccups

    The location was a standout feature. It offered easy access to public transport and stunning views. The pool on the 4th floor added a relaxing touch after a long day.

    I found some service aspects needed improvement.

    For Couples Enjoying a Luxurious Getaway

    The view from Level 32 was nothing short of amazing, watching the sunrise over the harbor like a scene from a movie. Plus, the staff went above and beyond, so attentive that I actually felt like an important player in their world, something you just don't see every day.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for, and it felt worth every penny.

    The elegant decor of Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour is truly remarkable, with spacious areas that are easily accessible, making it convenient for seniors like me to navigate comfortably throughout our stay.

    Wish there were more comfortable seating options by the pool.
