“Suite Life”

Star City

Jul 20, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

I stayed in a new star suite at Star City. These are the rooms that have just been released and they are spectacular.
The decor is really upmarket and the first thing you notice on entering teh room is the fantastic views and the big LCD TV. The bedroom is even bigger with a massive spa and tv so you can kick back and watch your favourite show in the tub - which of course we did after ordering some room service - Bliss!
The hotel is situated right next to Darling Harbour and a short walf to the CBD - but it really comes to light at night with the Casino, theatres, restaurants and my favourite 36 degree cocktail bar. We had dinner in ASTRAL, it was excellent, although a little on the expensive side - worth it though if you are celebrating.

Overall a great stay, if you stay in the suite, bring an Ipod, connect it up to the stereo - easy, and set the mood with the mood light in the bedroom - choose a colour!

“10 STARS for STAR City Hotel and Casino!!!”

Star City

Jun 8, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

This hotel exceeded expectations in every way possible. First off, the 2 Bedroom Suite was spotless clean as well as welcoming and comfortable. The location of the property is very close to attractions and public transportation. It was very tourist friendly as I was a first-time Sydney visitor. In addition, the restaurants and entertainment at the property were excellent. It ranged from low budget Subway to high end fine dining. The casino was also a ++++++++++!!! I would most defnitely stay here again!

“great location”

Star City

May 27, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

we stayed at Star city after reading reviews and trying to find a 2 bedroom apartment close to the city.,that was resonably priced. We booked direct on there website and got a good deal 275.00 anight. The apartments are part of the casino and hotel complex. There is a little shop in the lobby or a supermarket Coles around the corner. This place is located on the tram line into town which also connects with the monorail at Chinatown. Darling harbour is only minutes away and is full of tousist attractions and restaurants open till late. There is also a ferry stop that will bring you to Circular Quay and the Opera House. Darling harbour at night is so pretty worth staying there just to walk by there at night.
Now the apartment, it was new clean modern had two tv;'s 2 bathrooms,washer dryer,dishwasher,kitcher. Our view we were on the 5th floor was of the harbour bridge and lovely but you should stay on a higher floor to get the better view.Try to visit the heater pool at night view is stunning you can have a champagne(plastic glass) and take in the view breathtaking.Would definately recomend this place. It has the tram,ferry and monorail all on it's doorstep.Enjoy

“Good location, but Casino presence unusual”

Star City

4 of 5 stars
Co. Antrim, N. Ireland
May 4, 2008
2/3 found this review helpful

We stayed in the hotel as part of our honeymoon in Australia.

The room itself was lovely and our special meal in the Pyrmont was fantastic. The location of the hotel for seeing Sydney was first class and this was one of our main reasons for booking the hotel in the first place.

We did find the prominence of the casino in the hotel rather unusual making it feel that it was accomodation for the casino rather than a hotel in its own right.

Overall if you are looking for a hotel with a handy location for being able to walk around and see Sydney, we couldn't recommend it enough.

“Great facilities - but keep your eye out for reduced rates”

Star City

May 4, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Star City has 24/7 convenience thanks to the adjoining casino, but the rooms themselves are a little tired. That said, they're still well equipped - the 2 bedroom unit we stayed in had everything we needed, except for the absolute lack of patio furniture. Beds were clean and comfy, and the lounge room was roomy.

The hotel is starting to show its age though, and the standard prices are several times what they should be. If you want to stay somewhere nice and central (and open around the clock), check out local hotel websites in advance and you should be able to score a room here at half the price or less.
