My stay at The Darling was truly nice with a few standout features. The room was stunning, with beautiful interiors and amazing views of Sydney, but the breakfast options could use some improvement, especially for a hotel of this caliber. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience. Despite some minor issues, like the gym's lack of natural air and the crowded fridge, I'd still consider returning.

I found the breakfast choices somewhat disappointing for a five-star hotel. The buffet lacked classic options and I was surprised that fresh orange juice was an extra charge. The overall food experience could be improved.

The hotel facilities were good, but the gym felt small and lacked natural light, which was a downside. Overall, the amenities were well-maintained but could benefit from more greenery for ambiance.

My stay at The Darling was truly nice, thanks to the really good service and amazing views from the Penthouse Suite. The concierge staff, especially Bonnie, went above and beyond to make my partner's birthday special. However, the breakfast service at Sokyo could use some improvement, as it felt slightly disorganized. Overall, I left feeling pampered and eager to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My stay at The Darling at The Star was amazing, with the staff making me feel truly welcomed and valued. The location was perfect for exploring Darling Harbour and Barangaroo, but I noticed that the outdoor pool could use some enhancement. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely return.

My stay at The Darling was nothing short of really good, with excellent service and beautifully presented rooms. While the gym could use some heavier weights for my workout routine, and I would have loved a bathtub in the bathroom, these were minor inconveniences in an otherwise fabulous experience. I truly enjoyed the location's proximity to The Star and Darling Harbour, making it an excellent choice for both leisure and events.
