Great location. So close to major attractions, shopping and dining. The hallways seem a bit outdated but the rooms are more updated. We received a room upgrade and some vip benefits which was a nice addition! Wiuld stay again for sure!

Good stay
It was a good stay walking distance to Darling Harbour and public transport. Very good service for buffet breakfast and reception. The only downside was ordering a toasted sandwich at about 11.20pm to be told 30 mins later that they were out. Funny that there was bread and ham at breakfast the next morning.

Hotel in a good location but fail to capitalize on
Hotel location is fantastic as it is close to eateries, Woolworth mart and beautiful Darling Harbour. DH is literally 800m away. It is also close to Broadway mall which houses many clothings brands as well as Coles, Aldi and K-mart. However rooms are dated and needs a complete sprucing up. The alleys leading to the rooms are like hostel style. For a prime location accomodation , costing AUD 200/night and managed by The Ascott, it should live up to the Ascott standard as well , don’t you agree?
