    A must stay hotel in Sydney.

    rating24 May 2026

    I went with my family to stay, it’s a lovely hotel in a fantastic location especially for the Vivid festival. The room was very comfortable and well equipped. I was greeted by Dita at the front reception and she was so warm, friendly and professional. The stay was great fromBeginning to end, so smooth with no complaints. I would recommend to couples or families or anyone when staying in Sydney. Thank you to Dita and her team for a wonderful experience.

    Outstanding Stay at The Darling, Sydney

    rating19 May 2026

    Our room was absolutely stunning — a beautifully designed space with a gorgeous view. We loved the thoughtful layout, especially the separate bathroom areas, the walk-in robe, the dedicated lounge and dining space, and the full bench with a kitchen sink. Although we had only booked a standard king room, it felt far more luxurious than expected. The large spa bath was an unexpected highlight, and the shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel were exceptional quality. I think I’ve found my new favourite brand. It was a genuine surprise to see such a high-end range of amenities provided. Also, the huge bath towels were a luxurious inclusion.Another welcome detail was the room’s location. Being set well away from the lift meant the hallway stayed quiet throughout our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the automatic block out curtains worked perfectly.Every staff member we encountered was outstanding — friendly, helpful, informative, and genuinely welcoming. While some might say that’s simply part of the job, it’s not always something we’ve consistently experienced at check in elsewhere. We received a text letting us know our room was ready well before the official check in time, which was especially appreciated as my husband had only been discharged from hospital the day before and the drive to Sydney had exhausted him. We hadn’t mentioned this to the hotel, yet they still made the room available early, and that small gesture made a big difference to us both.When we arrived, staff greeted us warmly, unloaded our luggage, and stored it while we went out for lunch. By the time we checked in, everything had already been delivered to our room, and our loose items — including coats — had been neatly hung up for us.After this experience, we’ll be choosing this property over The Star from now on. The inclusions are superior, the rooms are far more impressive, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating.

    Incredible

    rating19 May 2026

    The room was amazing and the view was incredible. Couldn’t recommend the darling anymore. From the moment you get greeted at the door to the reception is unmatched. Even greeted my 5 year old which she loved being acknowledged most hotels don’t acknowledge kids. Would highly recommend. The room was very clean, bed and pillows were incredible. The day and night view were also great! Will definitely be back.
