Loved the rooms and atmosphere of the hotel, staff where always happy to see and greet you. The bar staff on level 3 struggled to attend to guests in a timely manner they got a few of our drink orders mixed up the communication with in that team needs some work.

We had a beautiful experience. From the comfy slippers to the beautiful view and the yummy buffet breakfast. It would be better if the they offered a cheaper option for parking but I guess that’s the price you pay to stay in the city. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. We loved our stay!

Our stay at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour was excellent! Elmo at Club Millesime was incredible and very welcoming for our daughter's 21st Birthday celebrations! The only thing I would like to mention is that our window looking out over the Harbour was quite dirty. Would definitely come back. Thank you!

The windows are in the process of getting cleaned however this process takes a few weeks, unfortunately slightly longer with the recent rain.
