View from our room was mostly construction. Bit of a let down, especially when you’ve paid for a harbour view. Hotel stay otherwise was lovely, staff are all very polite and helpful, and food and cocktails were excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

Seems like this property is tiring quickly and most spaces are in need of a deep clean. Floors Around furniture and skirting boards, behind doors etc has years of dirt and dust. Used to stay here, went to Crown and recently come back here due to Crown being booked but won’t be returning. The new construction in front of this building will hinder view shafts considerably. Not an issue currently but something to consider in coming months.

Not Quite the Luxury We Remember

We returned to the Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour after a previous stay that was genuinely lovely. Sadly, this visit didn’t live up to that memory. Maybe it was the school holidays, but the atmosphere felt more chaotic than calm. The pool—once a peaceful retreat—was completely overrun with kids. We’re parents ourselves, so we get it, but this was next level. Towels were scattered everywhere, public areas were messy, and (surprisingly) there was even a security guard at the pool. Not exactly the 5-star luxury vibe we came back for. The room was fine. Comfortable enough, but definitely not standout. The highlight was the breakfast—great variety, fresh food, and lovely service. But overall, it feels like the Sofitel is having an identity crisis. If it wants to be a family-friendly resort, that’s fine. But right now, it’s missing the mark for guests expecting a refined, luxury experience.

Had a great stay. Amazing gym, friendly staff, close to so many dining and nightlife options. Across the street from the ICC. We didn’t use the pool, but it looked nice, on the 4th floor outdoors. Breakfast buffet had so many options, incredible. Highly recommend.
