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.

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.

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.
