Review summary

Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the hotel's cleanliness and modern aesthetic, especially enjoying the spacious Jewel Suites with their bathtubs and mood lighting. Its proximity to the Pyrmont ferry pier offers convenient access to the Opera House and Circular Quay, while Coles supermarket right outside adds to the convenience. Some guests have noted the distance to the breakfast area in the adjacent gallery. The location is also ideal for catching a show at the Lyric Theatre and exploring Darling Harbour, Chinatown, and Paddy's Market, with easy access to the L train and ferries.

The staff were not great this time. i had two tvs, both were cutting out. clearly, someone who designed the gym has never worked out in one. There was no adjustable bench.

superb luxury stay

modern rooms immaculate room helpful staff
I found the gym had enough equipment. rooms are modern and the cleaners were some of the best. Our room was immaculate and very cute. poppy at the front desk was really good, i think she should be replicated with the other staff. all staff were helpful.
the button labels for lights and curtains are small. i found them hard to read, so a remote for these would improve convenience. toilet space lacked an inbuilt fan, impacting ventilation.
