4/10 Fair

Changed for the Worse
The Woolstore has changed owners and what was once a pleasant place for us to stay turned into a very poor venue. We were given a room on the first floor (which I believe was not the queen room we paid for) and as it was situated right above the speakers for the non functioning restaurant sleep was next to impossible. When checking out this issue was reported to staff who explained it in terms of the change of ownership, a most unsatisfactory response. At the time we hadn’t checked the receipt to discover that we had been downgraded, we will pursue this via a separate email to the management. Given this experience we will look for alternative accommodation options when we travel to Sydney in the future.

Exceptional Hotel. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, the bed was extremely comfortable and what a delightful surprise to be offered free soft drinks and bottled water in the mini bar along with courtesy snacks. The location is superb to access darling harbour and parking was a breeze with a a parking station right across the street. Honestly I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Solid 10/10. We’ll definitely be back.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a great hotel especially if you enjoy heritage buildings being converted into hotels. In a great area of central Sydney. The room was a little squeezy but the bathroom was plenty big enough (beware, though, that if you don't like getting your hair wet, the shower is one of those overhead simulated rainforest arrangements with no separate shower wand). The bed was comfortable, breakfast superb (excellent coffee) and really the hotel ticks all the boxes for a single traveller.
