Guest scores and detailed hotel feedback

Past guest experiences and opinions

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour's excellent location, noting its proximity to Darling Harbour, QVB, Chinatown, and convenient access to public transport, including light rail and train stations, making it easy to explore Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. The spacious and modern rooms with comfortable beds and quality amenities, such as bathrobes and coffee/tea, are a common positive point. The buffet breakfast receives praise for its variety, and some guests have been upgraded to larger rooms. a few guests have reported issues with specific room assignments, such as receiving a disabled room with a shower curtain instead of a walk-in shower when it wasn't required.

The hotel has water dispensers throughout the building, so there is no need to buy bottled water. The room size is decent. The facilities are rather new and clean. I found many affordable food choices within a 10-minute walk because of the great location, between Darling Harbour, QVB and Chinatown.

The room did not have a phone. I had to go downstairs for any inquiries.
