Darling Harbour Romantic Hotels

"Dirty rooms with mold on them. I would not recommend staying here. Our room had black hairs pretty much everywhere, especially the bathroom. Me and my husband are both blondes so it wasn't our hair. The bathroom had visible mold and fungi growing. All the air vents had thick layers of dust, they clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. We got to our room after travelling for 32 hours, so we were exhausted. I could see immediately that the room was dirty, but we desperately needed sleep so we just fell into the bed. I know we should have complained and asked for a different room, but we were just too tired. The location is close to everything but on a super busy street, so the noise carries to the rooms. The staff is polite and nice, but that is the only good thing here. I wouldn't stay here ever again because of the filth. I do not think it is the cleaners fault, they probably don't get enough time to do their job."

"Ihana hotelli. Näköala satamaan oli vaikuttava. Hotellihuoneen ikkunasta näkyivät Sydneyn ilotulitukset. Ihan mieletön!"

"We chose Sydney as our honeymoon destination, which in itself turned out to be a great choice. Also the Sofitel hotel and its services were generally very good. Since it was our honeymoon, we wanted a bit of luxury, so instead of a standard room, we chose a significantly more expensive luxury corner room, which was advertised with a great view of Darling Harbour. When we got to the hotel and the room, it was revealed that directly in front of the hotel and the view was a huge and loud construction site, which practically covered the entire view from the corner room. The workers started working loudly every day in the morning around 7 o'clock, which inevitably affected both our sleep and our experience. In this regard, we were very disappointed, considering that the room in question was advertised as a deluxe room with a great view, which the construction site opening out the window certainly was not. The room was not as agreed and was definitely not worth the price. This should have been mentioned on the Hotels-com website or this should have been brought out in some other way, and the room in question should not have been advertised with a view or at least at such a high price. We would not have chosen that room if we had known this. The construction site and the resulting inconvenience were also not mentioned when we checked into the hotel, and the matter was not apologized for, let alone compensated in any way, or remedial measures were taken during our stay or check-out.
