My partner and I were really excited to stay at the Woolstore given the many positive reviews that glowed about its service and various amenities. It is a beautiful building with heritage features maintained and has a stunning foyer. However, we quickly learned that reviews prior to June 1, 2024 no longer reflect the new ownership. When we arrived at the hotel, we noticed there was very little guest information in our room, which should have been a red flag. Some of the amenities we specifically booked for included free 24-hour access to fitness facilities, smart TV access, happy hour at the bar downstairs, access to a lolly bar and free laundry services. After we were unable to find any information in our room, we went to reception to ask about accessing these amenities. We were informed that since Accor had taken over the hotel, these services were no longer available with no replacements provided. It was only after asking hotel staff directly that we found this out, there was no courtesy to proactively inform us. This was also in spite of us calling the hotel in the days before our arrival when we had noticed the name of the hotel had slightly changed - and we were told by hotel staff that it would not affect anything regarding our stay. This was incredibly disappointing and came at a cost to us. The gym that the Woolstore had advertised free access to would instead cost $20 per person, per session (and only during staffed hours). Relative to the price we paid for our stay, we felt we received very poor value, compared to similarly priced hotels in the immediate area. This lack of transparency seemed to reflect the general lack of service from hotel staff throughout our stay. We never felt particularly welcomed, as staff would not acknowledge you unless directly asked a question. I understand there are teething issues whenever a hotel changes hands, but it would be better to be upfront with any changes and for staff to be hospitable amid the circumstances, instead of hoping guests do not notice these missing amenities and service. However, the room itself was quite nice and housekeeping did an excellent job every day of our stay. Our advice would be to take reviews from prior to June 1 with a grain of salt, as this may not reflect the experience under the new owners.

We travelled from Brisbane to see Tom Jones and Rocky Horror and stayed in this fabulous hotel. We had a loft room and the bed was very comfy. A cosy room with everything we needed. The outstanding thing was the staff and Mr Percy's, the bar/restaurant on site. We arrived a little early but our room was ready and we were checked in by the lovely lady on reception. All of the staff were helpful and friendly. The manager of Mr Percy's was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable on food and wine. Their wine range was fantastic - quite a few variations from the boring old 7 or 8 wines you find everywhere. Easy walking distance to the ICC and lots of lovely eateries on Darling Harbour. Absolutely loved the hotel, charming and funky and tonnes of personality but the comfort was there too.

We spent 4 nights here at the start of our Australian trip and we could not have asked for more. We arrived at 10.30am after a 34 hour journey and the staff were brilliant. Got us early entry to our room and made us feel like royalty. The rooms are spotless with everything you might need, from lovely scented toiletries to chilled soft drinks in the fridge. Every member of staff was helpful, friendy and polite. The location of the hotel is great - literally a few minutes to trains, ferries, open top bus tour stops and plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. There's also a guest laundry which was great as we could move to our next destination with all clean clothes in our case. We hope to visit Sydney again in the future and will definitely stay at the Woolstore.

Had such a wonderful stay here. Everyone here are so friendly and they are seem loving their jobs here. 10 out of 10! We got the breakfast package and thought to be “just ok food”. Boy! We were so wrong. The breakfast was scrumptious. Thank you for the memorable stay and we will definitely be back

This is THE HOTEL to stay, when you’re in Sydney. The hospitality staff are so lovely, they’ll charm your socks off. Our room was super clean, we could stream our iPad to the TV and the drinks in the fridge are complimentary. We also added breakfast in our stay and was definitely a great way to start the day. We were also graced with a cheeky lolly bar to take away on our day out. Thank you so much for a beautiful little trip away and thank you again to the generous staff.
