This is a great spot, really handy for Darling Harbour, but other than rooms, there is nothing here. It's certainly an apartment complex and not an hotel. The central corridor on each floor is open and tiled so quite noisy. There is no bar or restaurant, although they can be found not too far away. I think there is probably... More

Booked through the hotel website, which had listed rates as cheap as Wotif. Not sure whether that was a factor but I got an upgrade from studio apartment to harbourside one bedroom. Harbourside apartment was good, furniture and fittings better than expected for the money. Room heating didn't work, was transferred to another room without fuss. Pool area and gym... More

These apartments are contained in a heritage listed building and you can feel the history as you walk along the original wooden floors. Our initial impression was not so good as the 24/7 reception must have been changing shifts as no one was serving and the waiting crowd was building. The check-in was reasonably quick and efficient though once a... More

Stayed here for 4 nights as part of my business trip. Being a low budget apartment initially I found it very good. I may have ranked this review 5 stars but the only reason I am not doing that is due to my last day experience. Room was cleaned for everyday except last day. When I entered the room in... More

I have stayed at many hotels over the years, when attending conferences, conventions or Expos at the Sydney Centre in Darling Harbour. If you want full hotel service or spectacular views there are better choices. However, the Oaks Goldsborough has remained my pick, over more than a decade, for well maintained apartments, good gym and pool, plus easy access to... More

I guess you get what you pay for. Location was good but compared to online photos and information the apartments were disappointing and very dated. As previously indicated the location was great and 5 mins from Darling Harbour.

I chose this hotel because of its great location. I don't care how close it is to Darling Harbour, I will never stay here again. The lobby and staffing is woeful when there is more than a few people and the lifts are small and extremely slow. A staff member spoke to us rudely and chastised us like we were... More

I had a conference in the Sydney Convention Centre and stayed at the Oaks for the week. It was a good experience. I initially worried that a city centre hotel would be too noisy, but I requested a top-floor apartment and stayed in the back room - which was very quiet.
