Reviews for Sofitel Darling Harbour
Michael Mastelero
Me and my partner would often stay at hotels for a lovely weekend in the City. This time around, we chose Sofitel Darling Harbour. The rooms are very well appointed. However, what made us want to consider this hotel as one of our 'homes' is the service. All staff were very accommodating and attended to our needs. It seems that they don't have a "too hard basket" but excels in their can-do attitude. The breakfast buffet is to die for! In most hotels, it takes them time to top up or refill the food. At Sofitel, your wait is kept to a minimum, barely no wait at all. They make sure that everyone has fresh food.

The staff was all so friendly, and went out of their way to make our stay perfect! From the moment we stepped foot on Sofitel grounds, we were taken care of! Our experience with the staff for valet parking, check in, check out, room service and breakfast was faultless and seamless. The room was also extremely clean and scenic. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for my wedding night!
Lynda Irving
We had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour. The hotel itself is beautiful and very well kept, with elegant, comfortable rooms that made our time there so enjoyable. The staff were fantastic—welcoming, attentive, and always happy to help. We were there for a conference, and the set up was excellent—everything thoughtfully prepared from tables and stationery to the little details like mints. The absolute standout was the catering. The food was incredible and definitely one of the highlights of our experience. Highly recommend for both business and leisure stays.

If you go to Sydney, STAY HERE! Convenient to everything, every room is beautiful and it is worth EVERY penny. Food was great, every request was immediately addressed. All staff were friendly, helpful. Can't say enough about concierge staff, especially Ian. Having traveled extensively, he is by far the most welcoming person. attentive to everything around him while still making each guest feel uniquely special. That is a gift. Eager to provide information, from suggested restaurants to transportation options, he was professional and personable at the same time. He is truly an asset to this hotel, as are all the staff! Looking forward to returning soon!

- Clean and spacious room facing the Darling Harbour. Beautiful view in the morning. - Gym is pretty complete with a lot of treadmills - Breakfast was a little let down due to its lack of selection but whatever they have is cooked and served beautifully - You can order coffees, eggs and sliced avocados at the the table while everything else is served on the buffet - The room has nespresso Vertuo so you can have delicious wake up juice first thing when you wake up - Room uses Balmain amenities - Located right in the heart of Darling Harbour so location is very accessible and convenient to go anywhere.
