The Darling at The Star

The room was like no other (next level) what a gorgeous room - Thank you to Riz and Habib!

We loved it here. Very, very comfortable. Spacious room, all amenities, great beds. Everything digitalised, from opening curtains with one press of a button to having a MagSafe charger in the bedside tables. Amazing cleaning staff, everything was absolutely spotless. Loved the daily Nespresso and the little packets of milk. And amazing pillows - second hotel on this trip to have good pillows! The hotel is in a great location as well, right in Darling Harbour, near the harbour hustle and bustle as well as all public transport. We basically walked everywhere. Just cross the Pyrmont bridge and you’re close to most sites. The harbour is also a great place to have drinks around sunset. There are three hotels at the lot, one of which is the Darling. Breakfast is at a buffet restaurant called Harvest Cafe, which is next door (in a building that’s called the Star, which offers a hotel, casino, shops etc.) and offers a really nice spread. There’s a fairly large Coles supermarket in the building next door, as well as a great Thai place and a lovely Balinese restaurant.

My husband and I were celebrating our 20 years anniversary, the lovely receptionist quizzed me about our stay, and I did inform him, and he gave me a few choices and we settled on a fruit platter and sparkling water which was complimentary. My favorite thing in the room was the pillows!! I love them!! Bed was comfortable and the room was very spacious, and we had a view overlooking Barangaroo. The lighting system was very modern and took some time to get acquainted with this. We purchased a 2-night stay that included complimentary parking, $50 voucher at certain eateries at the star and buffet breakfast. We would definitely stay again if a deal like this or better should pop up again.

Location close to public ferry wharf, short walk to Darling Habour main area. Walkable to CBD (QVB area). Room and amenities very clean, and room quite spacious. Hotel allowed late check-out for our room (12noon) which made it perfect for our flight time.

Very modern design of the lobby and the room. The room size is big. Separate shower room and toilet is an add-on. 5-star hotel service and staff were very friendly and helpful. Good coffee and tea in room facilities. Great location in darling Harbour. There are plenty of restaurants with various categories and cucines to choose from. 25m outdoor pool locates on 5th floor. It's an unvergetable stay.
