Apartments in Sydney

1. The hotel is in a very good location, convenient for taking the subway, shopping or eating. 2. The room is clean and comfortable, with a complete gym and swimming pool sauna. 3. The receptionist is very professional and friendly. I particularly like the Korean receptionist (Jooeun). She is cute! I wish I could be friends with her, and I regret not asking to take a photo with her.

Overall room was clean, however the USB port in the bedroom did not work, the alarm clock was not set and had an extremely annoying buzz, resulting in I had to unplug it anyway. The directions to the parking was extremely poor, no mention of a lift being used or what to expect. I suggested a flyer could be done to answer any questions for customers needing to use the car park service. There was little to no engagement of the staff about this and were only able to restate the poor information that was already given. I felt like a number and not a paying customer. It would seem your attention to details is lacking, and this would flow down from management to floor staff.

I stayed at Meriton for 9 nights with my son in Oct 2022. The location is excellent, with the Townhall train station & light rail located within 2mins walk from the building. There is also a Woolworths next block. The major shopping district is within less than a minute walk / located at the next light rail station, QVB station. One of my biggest pet peeve, are the lifts, there are 3 of them and they run from carpark levels all the way till the top floor which is probably in the 50s, we had to wait really long to take the lifts. Meriton apparently leases out their carpark lots too, hence the wait for the lifts is even longer during weekends when there’s a mix of the existing room guests, new guests checking in with their luggages as well as the people picking up their cars from the carpark. It’s just a hot mess. Meriton should really consider segregating the lifts to serve different floors. And have the people who are picking up their cars, to use other lifts instead of main lobby lifts. I like how the room is equipped with a Washer & dryer, was able to have clean set of clothings everyday. I couldn’t start the dryer, called for help and had to wait more than 30mins, the handyman only came after my second call. Although I stayed at the property for 9 nights, the room-keeping was very basic , just a change of new set of towels, bed was made, disposal of rubbish and replenishment of condiments (like coffee, creamery and sugar) and bathing supplies. No vacuuming of floor or washing of the bathroom, hence the room is dusty and the bathroom especially the rubber tubings surrounding the glass door has mould too. Also, the frequency of house-keeping was inconsistent, initially was once every 3 days for first 6 days and then it became everyday. In conclusion, it’s still an excellent place to stay because of strategic location but do manage your expectations when it’s comes to the upkeep of the rooms, the hotel lifts and level of services. By the way, when I was there, the hotel lobby was undergoing renovation, so hopefully the lift situations improve.

We stayed for 1 night and had the buffet breakfast. Requested for a cot and a high chair upon check-in and they were ready when we got in to the room! We booked the two-bedroom deluxe, they were interconnected and very spacious with a modern kitchen. The room was clean and there was milk in the fridge. Our room didn’t have a nespresso machine though, such a shame because the details said it should. The tv remote in the main room wasn’t working but we only stayed for the night and it didn’t bother us. I like that they have robes and slippers ready to wear. The beds weren’t very comfortable though, we all struggled to get a good night sleep. Check-in was a breeze, all the staff were so easy go talk to. The car park was on-site which was great. The hotel’s location is its best feature as it’s so close to everything — train station, woolies, restaurants, cinemas etc. it’s even connected to Regents Place at Level 10. I could not fault the staff. They are just so friendly and accommodating, always with a smile on their faces. They were also very quick go respond. The breakfast buffet was amazing and food was great, although it was disappointing that they still charged us full walk-in rate $32 instead of pre-book $28 each even though I told them that I tried to book online and via phone and spoke to Vincent. That’s why I’m only rating it 4/5 stars. Will return soon though :)

I don’t like a dark entrance to a hotel really, not inviting. Dark corridors. The electronic blinds have a mind of their own and open as you enter the room and once during the night. Body wash say empty for 2 days so washed with shampoo until I requested a top up twice in one day. Bed comfort wasn’t anything special like other hotels nearby. Someone charged drinks to my room that once reversed at checkout, a female employee called me to sign a permit to charge my credit card. How many times I had to explain I wasn’t even at the bar the night before, she wasn’t interested. No apology, no how was your stay. I had to tell her to check signatures against mine on arrival. Never again. I visit Sydney every few weeks. I’d rather not travel that week than stay there. I’ll keep staying at a hotel on the next corner who value their guests each and every time I stay there.

Exceeding expectations, this kind of price can live next to the Harbor Bridge and Sydney Opera House, which is really much more cost-effective than in China. Harbor view suite veiw invincible. The only downside is that there will be international cruise horns in the morning. But it was over in a few seconds, and it was still an experience.

. Children over 2 years old are considered adults and may have to pay an additional $100 per day (we paid a total of $300 extra for 3 days). . “Zara Tower Luxury Suites & Apar**ents” needs to announce its rate-related policy in more detail. . I am sorry and grateful to the Trip.com representative who listened to my consultation for two days, believing only what the hotel staff had misrepresented. . Details regarding fees are as follows. I booked for 2 adults + 1 child. Below it was a small note: “Separate fees may apply for children.” Actually, my child is 9 years old, and since it wasn't a hotel that offered breakfast, I thought there would be an additional charge and it wouldn't be much. When I entered the hotel, there was a sign saying ”Separate charges may apply for children” and I was told I would have to pay an extra $100 per day. In the process of talking with the employee for a while, I said the following (I used a translator to double-check it for accuracy). “I received an additional amount because it said so on the voucher, and if Trip.com says I don’t have to accept child rates, I will return the money,” he said. I spent 2 days of my trip worrying about this, contacting and confirming with Trip.com again. What Trip.com agent Charlie later confirmed is as follows. ”Children over 2 years of age are considered adults, so they must pay at the amount indicated by hotel policy (USD 100 per night).” Even if the hotel staff hadn't said that strange thing, I would have thought it was my fault for not knowing the hotel's strange rule (children over 2 years old are considered adults)... My time was so precious. . It was a large room with open bedroom/living room/kitchen. It seemed like he wanted to experience it at least once. . The bathroom/shower room was very uncomfortable. It would have been nice if they were separate, but it was disappointing that they were all in one space and looked very desolate. . The kitchen had a refrigerator, microwave, oven, and gas range, as well as dishes, cups, knives, spoons, and chopsticks. Salt, pepper, and detergent are also available.

I had booked two 3 BR suites. We have all stayed there before and enjoyed the location, size of the suites etc. However this time we had some serious concerns and none of the 10 people in my party are likely to stay there again. We arrived at 3 pm to check in – the advertised time. Our suites were not ready but we were told it would be 10 minutes until one of them was. It was almost an hour and a half! Then the second one was ready about another 20-30 minutes after that. This was completely unacceptable. We were given a key to the arrivals lounge and assured there would be tea, coffee etc available. It was a small room, with multiple groups squeezed in, and with no access to running water, so the coffee machine etc were not much use. The two units were OK, but very tired looking – especially the couches. For the price we paid, we expected better. There had been some mix up with my credit card when we checked in, and it turned out that I was charged twice for one room, and reception rang TWICE at around 10 pm to talk to me about it. Again, this was unacceptable.

Great apartment. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. Loved the lay out and it had 2 balconies. Cafe downstairs for brekky/lunch if needed. My sister stayed in a one bedroom suite with one bathroom etc. It was equally nice and clean. No balcony but great views CENTRAL location. Amazing. Accommodating staff.

The location is very good, sealife is right next to it, it is convenient to go to the taronga zoo by boat. Go to the qvb next to it, go to the world square for 10 minutes, but go to Chinatown for about 20 minutes. But walking through the darling quarter is pretty, and there are places for kids to play. The room is big in the city, there is a pool downstairs, the pool is not big.
