Macquarie University

The hotel was fine, but the over priced breakfast was the worst we had at any of the hotels we have stayed at over the last 9 weeks travelling around the world. Don’t bother, just go out to a nice cafe.

This hotel is in a fantastic location and it is a very nice hotel but it should not be billed as a 5 star luxury hotel. It is really a 3.5 star hotel. The biggest complaints are no elevator, they do have a dumb waiter for bags. The windows are single pane (barely). When people walk ups and down the Suez Canal or Nurses walk you can hear every conversation. There is a bar behind the property that gets loud as well. Next is no bottled water but the staff did tell me I could feel free to drink out of the sink in the room or go to the bar and get it from the tap there. Would I stay here again? No. Would I recommend it to friends or family…no, not billed as a luxury hotel.

Furama Darling Harbour was an amazing hotel. It is beautiful and recently renovated. I loved the security of the elevators needing you to swipe your key to move up to your floor. The staff were very kind and helpful. Everything was very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if we come back to Sydney.
