Top Darling Harbour Hotel Reviews

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, lovely staff who helped us late at night with our sink (our issue, not the hotel’s)! Amazing views from the room, bathroom was luxe. Interior of the hotel is very cool. Great location in the heart of Sydney, a lot of congestion to get there by car but very walkable and right next to rail line."

Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites

8/10 Good

"Convenient location, easy off road parking. Close proximity to restaurants and shopping. Lovely bay view, door step pier that provides unobstructed view of the bay. Franca is world class, with big selection of food & wine. Most importantly, Kevin leads a tight team that aims to make his guests' stay as comfortable as possible. Definitely a gem in Geelong."

Shangri-La Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely unforgettable stay! The unmatched, panoramic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House directly from our room were worth every penny—waking up to that sight every morning was magical. The staff provided warm and attentive service from start to finish, the room was incredibly comfortable. If you are visiting Sydney, staying here for the views alone is an absolute must!"

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring Sydney. Easy 30 minute walk to Circular Quay (buses, ferries), the foreshore walk and the Opera House. Very close to shops, restaurants, cafes, Chinatown and a large Coles grocery store. I was in a large, bright, very comfortable corner apartment with a kitchen. Very clean and well stocked. Very helpful and attentive staff. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
