    “Overnight stay”

    King bed so comfy black out blinds perfect for a good night sleep. Everything fresh and clean ,so many dinning options to choose from breakfast exceeded our expectations The location was perfect. The grandkids loved the pool. Only downside was the check-in and check-out process standing in line for over 30min surely there can be a more efficient process.

    Stayed 3 nights in November 2025

    “I want to stay again!”

    It was our first trip with a young child, and the room was spacious and clean, which made our child very excited. The view was excellent, and even the night scenery was enjoyable for adults. The facilities, including a microwave, dishes, and dish soap, were perfect and very helpful. I had heard that hotels in Australia often lack microwaves, but this hotel had everything we needed, which was wonderful. We also received a toy (workbook) for our child, and they seemed very happy. I highly recommend it!

    2-Bedroom Pyrmont View Suite
    Stayed 5 nights in November 2025

    “One of the most perfect hotels!”

    The location of the room is excellent, and the hotel room is spacious and comfortable. The three of us chose a two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite, which also has two large balconies. It’s within walking distance to Circular Quay, the shopping street, and sightseeing bus stops. Although it’s a casino hotel, it feels quite amazing. I would recommend it to all my friends who are coming to Sydney!!!

    Premium Harbour View Room
    Stayed 3 nights in March 2026

    “We went on a honeymoon and I highly recommend it.”

    The location was slightly disappointing compared to expectations. It was about a 10-minute walk from the bustling area, so it didn't feel like it was right in front of Darling Harbour. However, it was within walking distance to Darling Harbour and the Fish Market, and there was a ferry terminal to Pyrmont Bay about a 5-minute walk away for easy access to Circular Quay! The airport was also just a 20-minute Uber ride away! The best part was the hotel facilities... they were amazing. There were many restaurants inside the hotel, including an Italian place, a steakhouse, a Chinese restaurant, and a ramen shop. The breakfast was incredible, and there was Messina gelato, Gong Cha, a convenience store, and even a huge sports pub in the casino. If it rained, I would have happily spent my time inside the hotel!
