Housekeeping staff were courteous and efficient , working around us with no fuss at all. Great. Needless to ay, the view over the bay to the Harbour Bridge is awesome and sitting on... More

Our family spent two nights in a two bedroom apartment in the Astral Residences and it was fantastic. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and living areas conducive to relaxation for our two teens and us. Some discerning guests might notice the sofwallowed a bit worn, but it was ok for us. We also had laundry facilities which helped... More

Exceptional front office staff... tick Fast and easy check in process... tick Proactive offer of a restaurant booking as it's a busy tonight... tick Great signage to actual room... tick Bags quickly bought up from car dropped...

Have stayed at Star City Apartments many times. Love the location, love the views. Staff are very friendly. Rooms are a great size and very clean and welcoming. Next time i am in Sydney i will stay at the Darling as I have heard it is pretty spectacular.

The kitchen was massive and unlike some apartment hotels was very well stocked with cooking utensils. Large dining / lounge area opening onto a massive balcony with views of the CBD and the... More

I'd stayed at Star City (it's old name) before so was familiar with the location. Having a conference in Darling Harour I decided to return to The Star as it is close and an easy walk from the Sydney Convention Centre. On check in, I was told my standard room (booked via Qantas for $199 a night!!) had been upgraded... More
