Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour, an IHG Hotel

We booked hotel for convenience for our wedding. Pros: The location is awesome, only 7min walk from Gadigal Metro Station and about 5mins from Townhall station. Check is smooth, we were quickly allocated a room. If you are a member with IHG they will allow you to have a later check out. The size of the room was very good. Cons: The cleanliness of the room was very sad, quite disappointing that a 4 star hotel doesn’t have late night housekeeping. There were grey stains on the pillows. Dirty bits in the shower. Housekeeping service was very bad. They somehow made the bed with our personal items wedged between the sheets which took up a really long time to find. They didn’t bother to replace towels and remove all the rubbish from our room. All in all, not the greatest experience. Would not recommend. Poor service, overpriced.

Friendly staff

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza for 4 nights prior to going on a cruise. The hotel was situated in a very convenient position, approx. 5 minutes walking distance to Darling Harbour, a few minutes to the main roads of the city, about 15 to Circular Quay and minutes from China Town. The hotel room was clean spacious and bright. We ate at the hotel on one occasion, other then breakfast. The food was fine on par with the restaurants at Darling Harbour, but saying that I cannot say that I had an outstanding meal and would go back to any of them. Breakfast consisted of a continental and menu for your traditional hot meals. I cannot comment on facilities as we never used them.
