    We had a king room and the bottom sheet was too small for the bed, we had 3 nights there so it was quite frustrating by the end!

    Fantastic location and beautiful room

    Location can be challenging as it has only L1 lightrail access which stop at 11PM from cbd. We had to walk around 15mins to get back to hotel. If you have car, this place is ideal as it has huge affordable car park right in front.

    very trendy. equip with apple tv and alexa voice control pod. we got upgraded to King bedroom which is very generous.

    Although the bed pillows may look nice and fluffy, they ended up being pretty flat upon lying on them. But that's more my preferrence so it might not be an issue for others.

    Location was perfect to watch an IMAX movie and explore the surrounds with friends. Upon checking-in late in the evening, the hotel staff offerred us an upgrade in room type which was special. I suppose its because they know I have returned to that hotel time and time again. The room was perfect acknowledging that we don't really care about 'space' or 'in room facilities/amenities', since we tend to go out and just use the room to rest at the end of the day.

    Thick coat of dust on skirting boards and table. Room not clean. No early check in, not even after 11am when room would of been ready.

    The staff were lovely especially the staff serving breakfast. Reception staff nice. Free mini bar was nice for some cold drinks. Pre asked for an early check in after my flight landed at 7am, was told to come back at 2pm. A text to say the room was ready would of been nice, instead of hanging around the foyer and outside from 7am to 2pm, having been up all night flying. I usually stay at crown plaza for work trips and they always text when the room is ready.

    I think an extra blanket would have been good - there was only one blanket on the bed and it was a little cold. However as there is 24 hour reception I should have asked for one and I’m sure they would have happily obliged - I just didn’t think of that!

    The atmosphere The happy hour The Lolly bar Comfortable bed The shower was awesome

    Nothing in our room seemed to function correctly. The air con made a horrible noise, the TV kept turning its self off and the lights kept flickering. We were staying for less than 24 hours so we just decided to go to bed early as we were checking out very early in the morning anyway. The water spills from the shower across the floor and makes the bath mat very wet.

    The lolly station was a unique thing and I was surprised that the drinks in the fridge were free. The laundry is a nice touch but it is tucked away with no signage and it seems to be shared with the hotel cleaning staff. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash were excellent!

    Staff were good but they obviously needed more staff. There was no one to man the bar. It was a beautiful bar and we were very disappointed that we could not have a quiet drink before bed after going to a show in Darling Harbour. We were then surprised that our room did not have towels and that we had to go down to reception to get them because the young lady was alone and could not leave reception. It should be a great spot just a few things to fix.

    The staff were amazing and provided the boutique hotel experience with easy and early check in and lots of lovely little chats. The restaurant Mister Percy was so cosy and the food was lovely. We used this area for meeting with other members of the family staying in the hotel as we had all chosen the shoebox rooms.
