I had a mixed experience at W Sydney. The hotel was stunning and well-maintained, offering a vibrant atmosphere (super stylish!). However, the noise from the expressway was disruptive at night. Although the service was really good, the small room size was a letdown for our group.

I recently stayed at W Sydney for two nights and had a great time overall. The views from my room were absolutely stunning, and I loved the chic decor. However, I did find the unheated pool disappointing, as warm water was one of my main reasons for choosing this hotel. Additionally, having only two cups for a room booked for three was frustrating.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay at W Sydney. The location was absolutely beautiful, with fantastic views of Darling Harbour. however, I faced several issues with service and room amenities that left me feeling somewhat unsatisfied. While some aspects of my stay were enjoyable, others did not meet the expectations set by the hotel's luxurious appearance.

I stayed in a Lovely King Room with Harbour View, but was disappointed that the view was obstructed by a large pillar. I expected much more considering the room's name. On a positive note, the bathroom was excellent and the bed was very comfortable.
