I stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights. The hotel was perfect. The staff were welcoming and the service was great. The new revamped hotel looks amazing. Breakfast and dinner was magnificent. Great stay and would stay again when I go to Sydney. You cannot beat the location. Walking distance to everything Sydney has to offer.

Stay here for 2 nights for my brothers birthday. The room was spacious and also the bathroom, only thing that I saw that didn't look too good was the carpet, it seemed to be a bit dirty and many stains on it but apart from that the room was good. The service was good friendly staff. One thing i didn't... More

Grabbed a room at the last minute with a sale site. The room was new, clean, and very well set out. Great location to explore the city, with lightrail travelling underneath. Expected a little more information either from the check in desk or inroom about what was what. Got lost several times in complex due to poor signage, but staff... More

My friend booked a two bedroom apartment for my Hen's night at the Astral Residences. The hotel has pretty poor service. The staff at the desk are not very helpful. Example: No one chose to tell us about which lift to take to our room, we accidentally went up the lifts to the Astral Towers. No one really explained the... More

I booked this as a mystery hotel, and wasn't disappointed. The place is HUGE, and it buzzes all day with it being a casino, even to get to the restaurant you have to go past gaming tables and slot machines. The buffet breakfast was included, and was brilliant, the choice was fabulous, food to tickle all tastebuds. The evening buffet... More

I stayed in the three bedroom apartment and I loved it. It was spacious and clean and the view was great. The kitchen was perfect for cooking while on vacation and had enough dishes and tools to entertain my HUGE Filipino family who were all in Sydney as well. I also liked the large living room and dining room area... More

We are actually still at the hotel and checking out this morning but are so frustrated with the noise from building work that I wanted to write this review while still motivated to do so. The location is great and the rooms are a good size and well furnished. Room cleaning is average at best - paper that had dropped... More

By far the worst and most expensive wi-fi access of any hotel I've ever stayed at in several countries. What is it with Australian hotels that they charge for what is usually provided free and works well in most other countries? In this era, it's the equivalent of going back to coin-in-the-slot electricity meters.

Stayed in their one bed apartment for the week on a business trip. No signage outside for taxi driver to locate the hotel. It's basically part of the star city, the darling hotel, entrance and shared lobby. Check in queues were slow at 11am and painful after long flight in. Room was not ready but I was called once it...
