The Darling reviews
Likedvery spacious & clean. close to the facilities I had meetings at.
Dislikedsometimes the patrons of the casino could be heard leaving the building.
LikedProbably the most beautiful hotel I've stayed at. Perfect for our anniversary! Room and staff were exceptional
LikedThe rooms are completely upgraded and I appreciated the electronic blackout drapes and in room air control. The immediate neighborhood is very cute with good cafes but getting into CBD and Circular Quay takes a little longer than a more central spot - however we chose to take the nearby ferry which zig zagged across the harbors and allowed us to sightsee.
DislikedThe gym is very small and dark.
“Wonderful location to explore downtown Sydney. The newly opened Sydney Fish Market (10 minute walk) is spectacular.”
LikedLocation. And the on site bar & Japanese restaurant were good.
DislikedI wasn’t aware a casino was included on site, so it has a vibe of a Vegas hotel.
LikedThis was our 3rd or 4th stay at The Darling and I’m sure we will be returning again! We absolutely love the rooms, staff and facilities, this is definitely our go to stay in the city.
LikedThe room and the staff service was top tier. We received a surprise upgrade for our room and we couldnt be happier with the nightq
DislikedNothing, everything exceeded our expectations.
“A Truly Royal Experience”
LikedFrom the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The complimentary upgrade was such a wonderful surprise and set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The staff were absolutely incredible,and genuinely committed to making our experience perfect. The hotel itself is stunning; the fit-out is immaculate. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed. The beds were super comfy, and buffet breakfast was faultless. A wide selection of fresh, delicious options that catered to every taste. We left feeling completely pampered and already planning our return. If you’re looking for luxury, exceptional service, and an experience that exceeds expectations, this is the place to stay!
DislikedWouldn't change a thing.
