Nothing really

Amazing hotel

I really enjoy staying at the hotel and I stay whenever attending conferences at ICC. The hotel is "quirky" which provides a more enjoyable experience than a standard hotel room.

I have stayed a few times and am very happy with the hotel. I would like a gym, but where normally it would impact my hotel decision, it doesn't for this one.

The rooms were very quiet and the beds extremely comfortable. I also loved the original architecture of the building.

nothing I didn't like

We loved the history and design of the building.

It was clean, quirky and comfortable for what we needed.

The people next door talked all night and we could hear them.

The people at the reception were very helpful. They advised us in every way about traveling in Sydney. The breakfast was very good with a lot of choice, The hotel had a beautiful design and was beautifully furnished.

Nothing

Beautifully reimagined old Sydney building, very comfortable rooms and handy to Darling Harbour and the city

Prices are very variable but if you can get a good rate it’s a great place to stay. It’s also a pity the bar isn’t open later - there were a few groups turned away disappointed after seeing a performance at the entertainment centre.

All excellent

The location, the beautiful building, comfy bed and lovely room and the staff were fantastic. I'll definitely stay again.

The convenience And comfort was just what we wanted.

Nothing, all was good.

Local bars lunchtime menu made my wife sick (Fish was not fresh) Parking is a nuisance. Beds were asked to be flipped late afternoon after we asked for the morning.

Over priced unhealthy food

The location

The bed was uncomfortable and the noise from doors banging constantly. The room heats everything in the hallway and in other people’s rooms

Small room

Conveniently located. Great vibe, good food.

-

The room was excellent, very clean and comfortable, close to everything we needed.

Great ammenities, spacious rooms, parking only across the street and lovely bar downstairs. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Location. Very easy to get to.

The rooms were very small in comparison to other hotels I’ve stayed at.

Location and staff

The room was clean and well appointed. The location was great.

The room did not have an external window, there was a small window non opening into the interior area of the building above the restaurant. The room was very small and with no external window it was quite claustrophobic feeling.

Great atmosphere and good location. Well set up for a business stay

No view

We loved the exceptional service experience d on an earlier visit. The hotel owners have changed hands and the new level of service didnt meet the earlier experience but was close. But we still enjoyed our stay.

Cleanliness let you down. The shower had soap scum build up in the corners that any regular cleaning would have removed. There was visible skid marks at the bottom ‘s bend’ of the toilet. Again could have been cleaned easily.

Close to the function we were attending

Towels. Very thin

Easy to get to our function and parking nearby

Towels

Excellent staff, location, breakfast was wonderful

Nothing

Funky and well located. Front desk staff all very friendly and helpful.

Poor service in the cafe/restaurant. Lost orders an inattentive staff.

Great location. Comfy bed n pillows. Dressing gowns were great.

Complimentary drinks not explained when checking in. Bathroom tiles had mould on them..dirty... Breakfast ordering at cafe took ages..had to cancel coffee order with breakfast as it was taking too long. Parking partnership not explained very well so had to pay full price for parking...sounds like more training of staff required

The hotel has lots of character. It has been tastefully renovated to retain many of original Woolstore features. The room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the complimentary refreshments on arrival. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a tapas dinner with friends and family at the Percy restaurant on Friday night, the food and service were excellent. The location of the hotel in Pyrmont is well catered for with local cafes, and short walk to the Maritime museum and the ferry to Circular Quay. The light rail service is accessible across the road from the hotel and provides an alternative route to the CBD.

Cute hotel, staff were friendly and hotel was clean. Reasonably priced for the location. Parking available across the road for $60 a night.

Drinks at the bar were quite expensive however that’s the standard in Sydney.

The guy working at the front desk was great! Very friendly and provided great service. The hotel was a really cool vibe, clean and great location.

Nothing.

Loved the industrial design and how quiet it was - the street sound was almost unnoticeable. There were thoughtful touches in the room - robes, the wool store lip balm. I loved it.

No complaints!

Location, location, location. Terrific staff & lovely room

The hotel (once we found it!) was lovely. The rooms were an ok size, clean and tidy. We heard no noise during our stay so assume the rooms are really well insulated! Although it would be nice to be able to open a window. The bed was very comfy and the rooms were cleaned every day, with the option to change your towels. Staff were all very friendly (there's always someone on reception to help). Breakfast was very nice, although a little small. The location is also great, it's a bit of a walk to the centre or to circular quay, but it's easily accessible and there's transport options nearby.

I can't really pick any faults with the hotel, everything was perfect. My only minor comment is breakfast, which although was really lovely, could be a little bit bigger!

Liked the style and ambiance in restoration of building

Room was a bit stuffy, perhaps some fresh air or windows access , also I know there hard to control,but the was cockroaches in the room , did mean to tell front desk but forgot to mention it . The staff were very nice and obliging,cheers

Full of character and loved the fact it is small and quiet. The tapas for dinner was some of the best I’ve ever had!

Nothing not to like about this gorgeous hotel.

Super cool location - walking distance to the center. Everything was super stylish and clean. The employees were (nearly all) super welcoming and friendly!

I would have given 10 stars but unfortunately the lady working at the breakfast bar was suuuper unfriendly that we never felt welcome. It is very unfortunate that such a grumpy employees sticks to our memory of this nice hotel…

Great location for our stay in Sydney!!

Our room was small but we only slept there and it was extremely comfortable

I loved the loft suite. The bed was super comfy. Location was awesome and not too busy. The room was very quiet and the window furnishings cut out all the outside light. All the staff were really nice. The brekkie was nice as well as the coffee. would like to have dinner in the restaurant next time.I love those old heritage buildings which created a very romantic setting.

The air con in the loft made a funny noise every now and then, but no biggie

Loved the location. Loved the style of the hotel. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were very helpful and lovely to deal with. Room was nice and cool on this very hot weekend. Would love to stay here all the time when in Sydney.

It would be great if the prices were better. Quite expensive. There isnt much negative feedback I can give as it is such a fabulous place to stay. When we used to stay a few years ago. There was a bottle of wine on arrival. Chocolate in the fridge and a few drinks. But there was still complimentary soft drink, water and Pringles so that was really nice.

Great location and heaps of character. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast excellent. Comfortable bed, complimentary snacks and soft drinks in the room a nice touch.

Only one person doing check-ins so there was a 10 minute wait before being able to check in while we waited for the couple in front of us to finish at the desk. Value for money was ok but not exceptional.

Location, very unique hotel, old and new feel

Bit noisey

Love the rustic feel of the hotel, awesome place to stay. The staff and rooms are great and in a really handy spot in the city,

Can’t think of one thing

Restaurant was not open

great service, clean, comfortable, quite, spacious and a wonderful experience, with an excellent breakfast that i was late 30mins after closing yet without hesitation the waiter asked the chef whom duly cooked for me, outstanding

nothing

Customer service was excellent which created our stay amazing!

Understand maintenance items pop up so this is the only item we could say, leaking pipe / drain. But action was taken. Thus we appreciated the efforts.

Loved it we always stay here wgen in sydbey x
