Overpriced
Certainly not a five star property. More like three and a half stars. The staff was not rude, but not friendly, which is fine unless you advertise a five star property. Room was just ok. Linens were not five star quality. Sheets were decent, towels were worn. Carpet was dirty. There are fantastic hotels in Sydney, this is not one of them.

Great Location & Beautiful Room
Beautiful room. Great location. Ultra-modern. Not many places for clothes. Everyone was so friendly and helpful for anything we needed. It was a great stay!

Well located hotel - don’t have to deal w/casino
I liked the suite we got. Spacious; a true suite that one can close off the living room (with panel doors) from the living room. I was pleasantly surprised about the location. Walking distance to Darling Harbor which meant good restaurants to choose from. There’s fireworks every Saturday night in the summer at 9 pm right outside Baia Restaurant. Took ferries to Circular Quay and walked back. Delightful!

Great two days in Sydney
It was wonderful. Great location and neighborhood is full of small places to eat and drink. The staff went out of their way to assist us whenever we needed help. The casino next door is interesting.

Modern, spacious and super clean
The Darling at The Star is an up-market hotel in a fabulous location, perfect for business and leisure trips. The rooms are spacious, modern and very clean. The short walk across the bridge to the Sydney CBD is enjoyable and there are many great restaurants and bars in close proximity.

10/10 Exceptional

We like the location of the property. It's public transport friendly all the way from the airport. Its quiet and away from the touristy side of Sydney's CBD. Yet, it is walking distance to almost everything. The amenities are modern and at the highest standards. The best part of our accommodation experience aside from the actual hotel itself was its staff. We meet Lisa, probably the House Keeping Supervisor/Manager who happened to be around when we came back to our room whilst it was being cleaned. Lisa made sure that our room was replenished in time and politely reminded us to let them know if there is anything else, they will be gladly to assist.

Exemplary service
Beautiful hotel in great location to get around Sydney. The true treasure of this hotel is its staff. We travel extensively and the service by every single staff member at this hotel is exemplary. An absolute credit to the hotel. The warmth and genuine hospitality is the best we have encountered. The rooms are beautiful and luxurious and serviced twice daily.
