I’ve stayed at a number of Sydney hotels over the last 2 years. I went back there because of the experience the first time, and it didn’t fail this time. Great rooms and even better staff. If I’m fortunate enough to be back in Sydney there isn’t a choice where I’ll be staying.

It’s always a pleasure staying at The Star. Good facilities and amenities. Great hotel vibe and having its own light rail station is very handy when going around Sydney CBD. Also has plenty of dining options inside the hotel and around the area. I also love that they have a massive parking area and it’s free when you book a room there.

Staff was helpful and it was quiet. I didn’t like the checkout procedure. I was unable to enter my room to get my bag because the key card was not functioning properly. We had to wait quite a while to get a manager to open my room.

I couldn’t find anything negative Their service quality is 💫 The staff went above and beyond . The breakfast was so good with a variety of food . So many restaurants around The bay is closed by and the rest of the transport I think is the best location to stay close to the city center.
