Meriton - accommodation in Darlinghurst

A good overall experience. The hotel itself is now getting a little dated and tired - one can imagine it looked its best around 15 years ago. The food at the restaurant was of a very poor standard for city dining. Everything had a 'reheated in the microwave' quality about it - cluggy sauces and frozen prawns. The breakfast experience was quite average $40 pp and barista-coffee is not included - but a Petrol station-type automatic coffee machine is available for those unwilling to cough up $6 for a good morning coffee. The fruit options were a little sad too. As mentioned, it was fine overall - clean, comfortable - but there was nothing premium or impressive about the experience.

Second visit in two years, we are from London, we will come back soon to this Hotel

Mum and daughter trip. The elevator was not working when we checked in so we opted to climb the stairs to our room. The room was amazing with glimpses of Darling Harbour. Fantastic location — we had a great stroll around the area and grabbed some dinner. Unfortunately we got stuck in the lift for 45 minutes coming back from dinner and on the way to check out the pool. Website that day had said they were having problems with the lifts so this was not totally unexpected. Staff were amazing and kept up informed about what was happening during the whole time. We have a great story to tell from the trip.
