The bathroom countertop was super grimy and definitely hadn’t been cleaned in ages. Plus, the basement parking was a hassle. When we got there, the receptionist told us to take the lift next to the service desk for the basement. We waited for almost five minutes, and then another guest kindly let us know that the lift was actually out of order. So, I had to walk to the lift in the next building just to access the complimentary parking. I also requested for a room on a higher floor so we could catch the New Year’s fireworks, but I didn’t realise until the last day that our room wasn’t high enough for a good view. It was such a frustrating stay.

Our experience at the Jewel Suite fell short of expectations, especially considering the price. The atmosphere wasn't ideal, as the crowd could be rowdy at times. Around the pool, we found some guests to be inconsiderate, which affected our overall enjoyment. Additionally, the small spa—our toddlers' only option for play—was under maintenance on one of the days, adding to our disappointment. We also had an issue with a forgotten USB cable. While the customer service representative agreed to post it back to us, they failed to inform us there would be a charge for this service, which felt misleading. Overall, the experience did not offer good value for the money spent.

I have to say we have travelled to many places over the years and this is the nicest hotel room we have ever had. It appeared to have everything you could need and comfort as well. The staff were lovely, shout out to Kevin who assisted me with a payment issue. This Hotel Is attached to the Star, with light rail underneath and is also only a short walk to Pyrmont Bay ferry. I definitely intend to stay here again :)

Very nice hotel and very nice stay. We had the jewel suite for almost two weeks and it was spacious, beautiful and the service staff was excellent. The gym is too small but with the facilities at the star it is absolutely fine. But as I said, great team, great hotel and very well located with the ferry, train and Darling Harbour directly in the neighborhood.
