Modern, spacious and super clean
The Darling at The Star is an up-market hotel in a fabulous location, perfect for business and leisure trips. The rooms are spacious, modern and very clean. The short walk across the bridge to the Sydney CBD is enjoyable and there are many great restaurants and bars in close proximity.
Fiona, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel!
Super friendly staff. Service was so good. Never had to wait long for front desk to answer the phone or send something up to you. The housekeeping room clean and turndown we’re impeccable. Conveniently located, with a big grocery store across the road, a couple cafes, a casino with restaurants next door and walking distance to darling harbour. Just wish the gyms were bigger (there’s access to a small one I. The hotel and a slightly bigger one at the star casino next door).
Alicia, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s always a pleasure staying at The Star. Good facilities and amenities. Great hotel vibe and having its own light rail station is very handy when going around Sydney CBD. Also has plenty of dining options inside the hotel and around the area. I also love that they have a massive parking area and it’s free when you book a room there.
