I stayed in a queen studio room with balcony offering views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Unfortunately staying over the weekend meant a cruise ship obstructing our view of the Opera House but they departed around 6:30pm, finally giving us a clear look on Monday morning. Fireworks went off both nights with us lucky enough to be in our room with a perfect view when they did. There is a pool, spa and sauna on the ground floor surrounded by the buffet breakfast area. We opted to eat out but the full buffet breakfast is $24, $19 if pre booked. There was also a lovely terrace but didn't appear to be linked to the hotel, at least not that we could find. Street noise was an issue on Saturday, I'm a light sleeper, with loud cars and people yelling until around 3am when I was finally able to nod off. My partner however slept through it. Bad nights sleep aside, I'm sure that's standard for a Saturday in Sydney, I was really pleased with this hotel and would recommend it.

The W has two pools, both on high floors overlooking the city scape. There's a fancy restaurant as well as a bar that serves food. (if you want to eat at the fancy restaurant book a reservation in advance. It fills up!). When you first check in, you get a free drink at Living Room bar, which has a $30 value. The only negatives were the bathroom is very dark, the shower was hard to work (hot/cold turn opposite ways), and In Room Dining was 30 minutes late, making me late to my wine tasting tour.

I stayed in…read morethe Penthouse 2 WOW suite and it was fantastic -- spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with great views and all the comfort you'd expect from a luxury hotel. The room itself easily felt five-star and made the stay feel special. The property has a sleek, modern vibe and is well located in Woolloomooloo, making it convenient while still feeling a bit removed from the busiest parts of the city. The common areas are polished and visually impressive, and the overall atmosphere feels upscale and energetic. Where the experience fell short was service consistency. While some staff were friendly and professional, others didn't quite deliver the level of attentiveness you'd expect from a five-star hotel. A few interactions felt rushed or indifferent, which took away from what was otherwise a very strong stay. Overall, the excellent suite and beautiful property carry this hotel to a solid four stars. With more consistent, refined service across the board, the W Sydney could easily live up to its luxury reputation. Hopefully over the next three days it improves. Will update.

Positives: The room was avail early. Greatly appreciated after a 15 hr direct flight. We wanted to clean up b4 exploring "Harbor City"; Staff was super friendly & helpful. Mini bar items were complimentary; Good location in Barangaroo, a neighborhood on the edge of CBD. Plenty of bars & restaurants within walking distance; Negatives: Small 250 sf room. An upgrade to a 500 sf suite would have cost $180 AUD more per night; No lanai (patio) to take in the fresh air; No wand in the shower; No Executive lounge; No pool; No view for being so close to Darling Harbour; No local restaurant recs via the app like other Hiltons I have stayed at; Tiny gym; The No's (negatives), far outweigh the positives: I would not stay here again. Unfortunately, the Marriott, Hyatt & IHG properties in the area were unavailable via points during our stay, and the Four Seasons had bad recent reviews.

Unfortunately, the water in our shower smelled pretty bad. However, the beds were comfortable and water was so kindly provided and available upon request. The hotel is located in a good location, making it accessible to walk down to the water or to uber to quickly and easily to other locations. The breakfast was the star of the show here, though. It truly had something for everyone and anything you could ever imagine. The Nutella and pancakes were the incredible! The upstairs restaurant and bar was delicious. They had a great selection of wine and great bites to share. The duck spring rolls are not to be overlooked!

They registered us in and took my cell to notify me when the room would be available if it's earlier than the regular check-in time. Our luggage was promptly stored by the concierge. Soon after, we got a notification that the room was already available, much earlier than we expected. After getting our keys and going upstairs to check out our room, our luggage was already laying there. The hotel also has a decent size gym though I must say it's not the best I've been to. They do have a very nice indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi. The breakfast is pretty good and has a nice variety. The best part of the hotel though in my opinion is its proximity to a lot of attractions including just a 10 min walk to the harbor and Sydney Opera House. It's located in the Rock neighborhood so lots of restaurants to choose from. It's also only a 10 min walk to George street which is the one of the main shopping and walking streets in Sydney. My only negative feedback is that the hotel seems a bit dated to me and the furniture, bathroom, and carpets need an upgrade / remodel.

I arrived before 08:00 in the morning off a long haul flight from San Francisco. Dan at the front desk cheerfully greeted me and had me in a room within an hour, which I appreciated enormously. The room itself was huge, and well-appointed with a Smeg refrigerator, a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. Dan tipped me off to the welcome service, which changes by the season. Since I stayed at the ADGE in winter, the welcome service included hot cider and a cheese plate which I shared with a friend from the comfort of the couch in my room. (How great is that?) I'd gladly stay at the ADGE Apartment Hotel again. The location is excellent, the rates are reasonable, the staff is friendly, the wifi worked and the beds are comfortable. What more can you ask for?

Walking distance throughout the city from the hotel. Hotel itself is really nice, the lobby is large and accomodating and next to their restaurant.

The hotel also offered a laundry which was very nice also. Everything about this hotel worked for me and it was a good and positive experience here.

I enjoyed reading…read moreabout the history of the building and I definitely got the feeling of going back in time while I stayed here. Unfortunately, I stayed a while and the charm faded a bit over the days. The hotel was large, but it still had an intimate feeling. The concierge/bell hops were probably the best part of our stay. They were incredibly friendly, helpful and polite. One gentleman was always chipper, whistling and hustling which made me smile every time I saw him. He always remembered my name and greeted me warmly. Conversely, the front desk staff were cold, stiff, pre-occupied and inattentive. The room was on the smaller size, but had a nice view of the city. Through the concrete jungle, you could see where the harbour area was without actually seeing the harbour. It seemed as if the fixtures and bathroom could use some updating and redecorating. It seems like free wifi just isn't something common in Sydney, and this hotel was no exception. Limited wifi access is available at a fee. In the lobby area codes for a small increment of free wifi time are available but you practically have to hold a gun to the front desk staff to get one. I loved the location. Everything was really within walking distance. Darling Harbour, QVC, Chinatown, the Rocks and Circular Quay seemed like just a hop, skip and a jump. After being in the city for just a day or two, we quickly realized how small the city and easily navigable the city was. If we return to Sydney, most likely we will stay elsewhere.
