I’ve stayed at a number of Sydney hotels over the last 2 years. I went back there because of the experience the first time, and it didn’t fail this time. Great rooms and even better staff. If I’m fortunate enough to be back in Sydney there isn’t a choice where I’ll be staying.

A great location to see Hamilton and an event I had in Darling Harbour. Travelling solo, I felt very safe with easy transport late at night. Lovely staff, a beautiful spacious room. Everything you need. Loved the complimentary water as well. The shower was a bit odd, I couldn't figure out how to keep it hot but with less pressure. I've never had a hotel shower that had really high water pressure, very good for washing your hair so it's not bad, just a bit odd that it wasn't able to be lowered without lowering the temperature. Lighting was good, but I found the digital pads a bit hard to see...especially in the dark. The night light in the bedside table was really cool, but one of the tables kept flashing on and odd (switched it off at the wall). I liked that feature though.

It’s always a pleasure staying at The Star. Good facilities and amenities. Great hotel vibe and having its own light rail station is very handy when going around Sydney CBD. Also has plenty of dining options inside the hotel and around the area. I also love that they have a massive parking area and it’s free when you book a room there.

The room was absolutely state of the art. Wireless phone chargers built into the bedside tables. Floor lights and soft lights that turn on when you go to the bathroom at night. Electric drapes. Great technology that was simple to operate. Flawless!

Service was top class, room was perfect and the cleaners were exceptional, down to the little touches of how they left our belongings neatly and phone charger tucked under the pillow for easy access, dining options are excellent, especially black bar and grill. A short walk over the bridge and you have many more bars and restaurants also
