This hotel is good for being central to Star City / Darling Harbour / Entertainment Centre. It's a short trip to the monorail. It could use a revamp. New Beds are a definate need, whilst comfy they are a bit like a trampoline, just sitting on the edge was funny as I almost hit the floor This is the 2nd... more

Had a three night stay here. Efficient check-in and friendly young staff. No-one working there seemed to be over 35. At night it felt safe as security were present in the lobby and a card system in operation for main doors and room doors. As it was very "city central" there was some street noise but we were high up... more

Hotel is just 2mins walk from Chinatown and centre of Sydney, yet in a quiet residential area next door to a small park area. Good quiet location. (turn left out of hotel then down the hill and across the footbridge by the Power Msuem.. easy) Hotel is only very slightly dated, but I would not say dirty. Rooms OK, everything... more

Just tried to check in and did not bother. No internet in the rooms and the Hotel is in terrible need of an update. Very dirty room. I could barely see out the windows. They had not been cleaned in months. The manager admitted that the hotel is in a serious need of an extensive remodel. This is a one... more

First impressions of this hotel was that it was very outdated and needs some work done. When we booked a room at this hotel we asked for a non-smoking room, we were given a room on the smoking floor which we were not happy about it but because we were only staying the one night we didn't bother to change... more

Stayed in a king corner room, very spacious with king bed and two sofas. Also with a balcony. Rooms are dated but clean, understand refurbishment is planned. The main things were all good, bed comfortable, aircon works, linen was plentiful and good, shower had enough pressure. In my experience Mercure hotels run with minimal staff, but found front desk very... more

The location of this hotel is perfect. Close to the Monorail (100 metres) and the Explorer Bus Route (50 metres). 200 metres to Paddy's Market. 15 mins walk from Central Station and 20 minutes to city centre. Hotels with balconies (or, indeed, a window that opens) are hard to find in Sydney but all rooms here have a large balcony.... more

We stayed there for a week and enjoyed its very convenient location, at a short distance from monorail which takes you downtown with a short ride. Besides, the Chinese district and the entertainment one are close to the hotel which means you can get good and cheap food at any time and buy funny and inexpensive gadgets. Room are nothing... more
