Crowne Plaza Hotel Darling Harbour

This hotel is set in the absolute perfect location. It is easy to get to from the airport ($35 taxi) and it is a stone's throw from all of the action in the CBD and Darling Harbour. The hotel staff was great and the rooms were immaculate. I couldn't ask for more!

Very nice lobby, helpful staff, well kept gym area, close to everything. Would be great for a business traveler attending anything at the Convention Center.

Hotel was in convenient spot for access to Darling Harbor. Could not believe it took such measures as demanding a manager to get our smoky room problem resolved, we felt forced to stay in a smoky room, and this was unacceptable.

The staff made a person feels as if they honestly wanted to help and not hinder their help to me. It wasn't as if I was bothering them asking the same questions as a traveler.

The hotel met and exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect. Close to darling harbor, china town and the city rail station for catching the train to other areas of the city. The room was large, clean and very comfortable. The bed was wonderful. The bathroom was Hugh with large shower, separate sinks, bathtub and very clean. Bathroom amenities were plentiful. The only draw back for the hotel is the busy main highway out front. Some traffic noise can be heard in the hotel room during peak commute times and the highway distracts from the view. Guests should be aware of this when choosing this hotel although it did not prevent us from having a very nice stay. The staff where nice and very helpful. When they say "no worries" they mean it. Arrived from an international flight at 9:30 am but could not checking until 2:00 p.m. Due to the busy holiday season. I would recommend this hotel and stay there again when returning to Sydney. read more

This hotel has a very good location to the harbor It is a bit older in the rooms and could use renovating if claiming a 4 star status. Check in was a beautiful experience and maybe I the pleasure of dealing with the only decent staff they had. Shift manager was a joke and didn't follow through on the promises he made to me. I left the place very disheartened due to his lack of effort. I couldn't get room service to ever answer the phone, so plan on eating at the many nearby restaurants if you stay here. A decent 2-3 star hotel in a great location. Don't count on a 4 star experience at the Crowne Plaza Darling Harbor though, so don't pay 4 star prices for it either. read more
