    Comfy room with a free minibar. Close to Darling Harbour, with a light rail stop not far from the front door. Great vibe and lovely staff. Their breakfast recommendations were on the money :D

    Mostly good, the only negative was the bathroom - size was OK but overwhelmed by a huge bath with the toilet (strangely low) poked in beside the sink. As with most hotels, never enough room on the vanity for your "stuff"!

    Great location, close to Darling Harbour - we were attending a show at The Star, so very convenient. Plenty of places to eat nearby and fairly easy to access. These hotels are distinctive.

    Great location tucked away in Pyrmont, with a quick shortcut through nearby carpark you can be on Darling Harbour in 3 minutes! 5-10min walk to Pyrmont bridge and beyond. Vibrant and modern lobby with glass elevators and a candy bar!! Complimentary drinks in our room too was a nice surprise. Cosy, clean and well presented room with nice amenities! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and check in/check out was swift. Would gladly stay again!

    There is nothing I didn't like. Our stay was perfect.

    We arrived very early in the morning and they had a room ready for us to drop off our bags and go out exploring the city. The historic building and it's elements was beautiful and relaxing. After a long day my boyfriend found the bar stocked with good local whiskey and in fact, we ended up bringing some home with us! Perfect location to the harbor, cute cafe's and green spaces.

    A simpler breakfast menu would be good, but this is only a very minor issue.

    This is the second time we have stayed at the Woolstore and we can’t fault it. It is quiet and comfortable, but the attention to detail in this carefully restored heritage building and the calm, boutique ambience makes it something very special. It’s possibly one of the best hotel experiences you will ever have.

    Location can be challenging as it has only L1 lightrail access which stop at 11PM from cbd. We had to walk around 15mins to get back to hotel. If you have car, this place is ideal as it has huge affordable car park right in front.

    very trendy. equip with apple tv and alexa voice control pod. we got upgraded to King bedroom which is very generous.

    Although the bed pillows may look nice and fluffy, they ended up being pretty flat upon lying on them. But that's more my preferrence so it might not be an issue for others.

    Location was perfect to watch an IMAX movie and explore the surrounds with friends. Upon checking-in late in the evening, the hotel staff offerred us an upgrade in room type which was special. I suppose its because they know I have returned to that hotel time and time again. The room was perfect acknowledging that we don't really care about 'space' or 'in room facilities/amenities', since we tend to go out and just use the room to rest at the end of the day.

    Thick coat of dust on skirting boards and table. Room not clean. No early check in, not even after 11am when room would of been ready.

    The staff were lovely especially the staff serving breakfast. Reception staff nice. Free mini bar was nice for some cold drinks. Pre asked for an early check in after my flight landed at 7am, was told to come back at 2pm. A text to say the room was ready would of been nice, instead of hanging around the foyer and outside from 7am to 2pm, having been up all night flying. I usually stay at crown plaza for work trips and they always text when the room is ready.

    I think an extra blanket would have been good - there was only one blanket on the bed and it was a little cold. However as there is 24 hour reception I should have asked for one and I’m sure they would have happily obliged - I just didn’t think of that!

    The atmosphere The happy hour The Lolly bar Comfortable bed The shower was awesome
