My stay at The Darling at The Star was absolutely fabulous! The room was luxurious, clean, and spacious, although I did wish for fresh milk instead of UHT in the bar fridge. The location was perfect, being just a short walk to Darling Harbour, but there were minor inconveniences like the limited breakfast options at the on-site restaurant. Overall, it was a nice experience worth every bit of the investment.

Our Jewel Suite was large, clean, and very comfortable, with stunning city views. The housekeeping was discreet yet timely. I only wished for fresh milk instead of UHT, which felt off for a 5-star stay.

Dining at Black Bar & Grill was fantastic, but I was let down by the limited breakfast choices at the Japanese restaurant. I expected a more varied selection for a 5-star experience.

The facilities were excellent, including a beautiful pool and great room service. However, the gym could use some heavier dumbbells for more workout options.

My stay at The Darling was mostly fantastic, with super spacious rooms and friendly staff that made me feel welcome. However, I did experience a few issues with noise from neighboring rooms, which took away from the luxury vibe I was hoping for. Despite the couple of downsides, the overall experience was enjoyable, particularly the breakfast in bed, which was good.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Darling at The Star. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, making my check-in process enjoyable. The only downside was the noise from in-house maintenance early in the morning, which was quite disruptive. Overall, the experience was nice with really good dining options and a fantastic location close to Darling Harbour.

Facilities included a good range of amenities, and while I did find the spa not quite up to par, the overall offerings were sufficient for a comfortable stay. The gym could use some heavier weights, but it was otherwise suitable for basic workouts.

My stay at The Darling was a mixed bag. While I loved the luxurious suite with stunning views and great amenities, I had a frustrating check-in experience that dampened my arrival. The location near Darling Harbour is excellent for exploring, but I did find the service could be more consistent. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and would consider returning despite the hiccups.

While the staff were mostly friendly and accommodating, my check-in experience was disappointing. I had issues with the deposit being incorrectly quoted, and the reception staff's attitude was less than welcoming during that time. However, once in the room, the service was much improved.

Dining options were nice but on the pricey side. I enjoyed breakfast at Sokyo, which featured fresh, high-quality dishes, though I did find some items, like an omelette, a bit too expensive for what they offered.

My stay at The Darling was overall enjoyable with its luxurious atmosphere, though I did encounter a few hiccups.
