Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Darling is often described as a modern and new hotel conveniently located within The Star casino complex in Sydney's Pyrmont, with a tram station nearby providing quick access to the city center. Guests appreciate the spacious and super comfortable rooms. Some guests have noted the lack of harbor views from some rooms, but the hotel is close to Darling Harbor, which many find preferable to Circular Quay, especially for families, given the parks and play areas. Many guests also mention room upgrades provided by the hotel to celebrate a special occasion.

luxurious room, great location

jewel suiteeasy accessmissing bar
I received an upgrade to a jewel suite for my wedding celebration. The location had a perfect score. access to the l train within the building made getting around simple. the sliding barrier and separate toilet door provided privacy, solving bathroom concerns.
The lack of a hotel bar within the lobby was a drawback since it's part of the casino complex. i had issues getting someone to answer calls to guest services. This affected my overall experience.
Dining

a wide range of dining choices were available, though most options were outside the hotel itself. many restaurants were located within the complex, yet accessibility varied, and some operated with limited hours and were not open every day.

The location was great for easy access to restaurants and attractions. I enjoyed a meal at Flying Fish, and attending the MJ musical at the Lyric Theatre was very convenient. I received a room upgrade. It was a really lovely surprise. I will stay here again and recommend it.
The in-room menu was difficult to download. I had to visit reception for a physical copy. That was annoying.
