Hotel berhampiran Australian Museum, Darlinghurst

I booked this for our anniversary staycation. We usually do this every year so I didn’t expect much but what differs this from the other hotel that we’ve been to is their sweet gesture of leaving some sweet treats with greetings. Hotel location is about 10mins walk to townhall. Which is very convenient. About 5mins walk to St. Mary’s church

Twin was very spacious. Travelling for work and was economical to share, including breakfast. Excellent sized room, decent in-room dining options and quality. Beyond expectations for a la carte breakfast, really smooth coffee. Gym was very well equipped, with light refreshments and storage available. Staff helpful, jovial, patient and friendly. Lovely, heritage building close to light rail and either end of Sydney CBD.

The location is unbeatable. It’s in the middle of CBD and only 10 min walk to circular Quay. We did not stay in the heritage room, instead, we chose the tower room. TBH, we expected nicer interior design. The furniture gave us an IKEA feel. Fullerton in both Singapore and HK is very nicely done. When we turned on the hot water for either shower or bath, it makes a screeching noise sometimes, which was not pleasant to hear. Anyway, the room is clean and the cleaning ladies were very nice and friendly. The breakfast was good too. Overall, the staff were really good!

4 night stay for Vivid. Chose this as an Accor member and that it was close to the Harbour. Upgraded to a Prestige Suite, Club benefits and was not disappointed. Yes the building is not new, it’s not like the shiny new hotels in town, but it’s solid and my sleeps were uninterrupted and rarely heard noise from the hall. My Suite 930 was spacious, clean, well appointed, Sofitel Bed topper and electric sockets to plug in my adapters to charge. Like other reviews no USB ports but I’m sure most sensible travellers have an adapter. The Club Sofitel access was the perfect addition. Early check-in and waited with a hot tea while my suite was made up. It was 9:30am but the room was rushed and 30 minutes later I was unpacking. Evening canapés and drinks from 5:30pm. Table drink service by Alley and her dedicated, personable, attentive team. They remember your preferences pretty quickly and it became an oasis from Vivid hoping and sightseeing. My suite completely blocked out the light and slept through 2 alarms, it’s the Sofitel Bed topper. Breakfast at Club Sofitel, peaceful, plenty of options to choose from, salmon and capers to a great gluten free station, eggs cooked to order and a great way to start the day. Try the Dilmah Blood Orange and Eucalyptus tea. Thanks Lara. Afternoon Tea served from 2:30 and daily sandwiches , scones, cakes and complimentary drinks, tea, coffee and soft. On entering the Club Lounge, always a friendly greeting, your preferred drink served and a relaxing space anytime of the day. The Club team really made my stay, they work really hard to make your stay great. Housekeeping always made up my room before my afternoon return. Always a Bonjour as you walked past them in the hall. My stay was great. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The Lobby is grand and the history of this hotel makes her great. Not the newest but I prefer tradition and good honest service. Definitely not the style of hotel for everyone but my expectations were met and exceeded beyond imagination. Club Sofitel is a must. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The pool was underwhelming in size of the hotel. It was difficult to relax with the number of children enjoying themselves and having a good time. The location adjacent to central station allows for seamless trips into the city. Overall, I would recommend the Mercure as a “pit stop” while enjoying the city of Sydney. Below is a screenshot and the locations we visited in one day.

Hotel ini berjarak 5 minit dari double bay, dan paling mudah untuk menaiki kapal setiap jam dari dermaga bulat. Biliknya kemas dan perkhidmatan kakitangannya sangat baik. Kolam renang di tingkat atas hotel sangat bagus dan sesuai untuk kanak-kanak bermain di air. Ibu bapa boleh bersantai dengan minuman di kafe di sebelahnya. Sarapan barat di hotel layan diri sangat enak. Tidak banyak jenis makanan panas, tetapi rasanya sangat sedap. Terdapat banyak pilihan roti, susu, dan buah-buahan. Nilai cp keseluruhan sangat tinggi dan saya sangat berpuas hati.

Amazing hotel! I loved the room and the facilities provided (gym and launderette). Easy distance from restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and chemists. Really clean and comfort based. The only thing that disappointed me was that had I booked a premier studio room (hoping that’s the correct term) with a harbor view but was allocated a room with no view (city or harbor) upon check-in. Had to request for a different room and the staff were happy to reallocate but I believe the room was a less expensive one (since I lost the premier studio facilities) and was not offered any refunds for that.

This is an experience!!! The room was perfect and large and comfortable. We did animal view room with a great Koala just feet from us. So cool. The tour of the sanctuary was so fun and the perfect length in time. Having continual access to the zoo was great and we did sections a little at a time as we were coming and going. The breakfast was really nice for an included breakfast. The views are excellent. Utilizing the bus and ferry to go back and forth to Sydney was simple and easy. I don't know if we will make it back to Sydney, but if we do, we will absolutely be staying here again.

Fantastic stay. Great area for going for a wander- just down the road from the big mall and the ice skating rink. Super easy access to the outskirts of Sydney and Macquarie University. Good breakfast and lovely spacious room.

Clean, modern and a great stay. 15 minute walk to the Train which takes you directly into Sydney CBD in 50 minutes. Highly recommend.
