PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was very good. Suite was spacious for our family of 4 with great bathroom but sofa bed was very uncomfortable. We were directly under the club lounge and we could hear chairs scraping on the floor during breakfast and evening canapés in our room. This was only really an issue as we were desperately trying to sleep off uk travel jet lag. Good location for darling harbour but views were more freeway than harbour! Club lounge offering was Ok but nothing spectacular and limited kids options for evening. Was great that you could have full buffet breakfast as well as club option. We arrived early morning from uk and couldn’t check in as room wasn’t ready which was understandable as it wasn’t guaranteed for check in but when we came back ( like zombies with kids aged 8 and 15) it was still not ready which was a bit disappointing. Would stay here against n but would probably just get 2 rooms because of poor sofa bed."
