Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Darling at The Star offers well-presented accommodations with a nice lobby and pool area, conveniently situated close to amenities. Guests often appreciate the spacious and modern rooms, some even receiving complimentary upgrades to spa suites. Being part of The Star casino complex, some guests have noted a less personal feel, yet the hotel boasts its own tram station for quick access to the heart of Sydney and is near a supermarket. Breakfast is very good, even though it's in a separate building next door.
