Firstly, the location is fantastic - just a walk to Chinatown, Darling Harbour, Queen Victoria Building, Pitt St, and so forth. You pay for this a little with more noise in the room, despite being on the 11th story, and a window view of the offices of another building (for us). The close proximity was what we wanted though, so... more

The Somerset is located two minutes walk from the entertainment and restaurant hub of Darling Harbour. However, it is far enough away not to be disturbed and is very quiet. Circular Quay/Opera House/Sydney Harbour bridge are about a fifteen minute comfortable walk. There are numerous restaurants and shops in the vecinity. The apartments are spacious and ours had a seperate... more

It was a fantastic base for us to discover the city, from a 5 minute walk to darling harbour and the ferries, to 5 minutes into the city and woolworths and george streets vast array of shops. Fantastic customer service, I was... more

I only stayed for one night for my 21st birthday and i couldn't have been happier. I booked two, 2br executive apartments for a very cheap non-refundable price. I had several requests regarding location of rooms, balconies, bedding, towels etc. and everything was exactly as i requested when I arrived. The rooms were very nice with 2 full equipped kitchens... more

This was really... more

My friend and I spent 10 days at these apartments. We did ask for twin beds but on arrival we had a double bed, but the friendly staff moved us into a room with twin beds the following day, moving all our luggage whilst we were out sightseeing. The rooms are very spacious and clean, with all the amenities you... more

Good location, just across the road from Darling Harbour. Staff were nice and obliging, although at times the front desk staff seemed swamped with guests resulting in a rather prolonged wait time for check-in, check-out, or general enquires. Apparently there is only one spa residence per floor which you may not get despite your request. Rooms were clean and well... more

Leaking drain on bathroom floor for 4 days. Regardless of advising Housekeeping. Air conditioning not working in room ( 41degrees day prior to arrival) so had to have window open for 5 days, very noisy . Quite a pokey room with poor light. more

Booked through expedia and got a rate much cheaper than others here have quoted therefore for us this was really good value and well worth the A$130 we paid. Great location being very close to Darling Harbour and all its attractions, 15 mins walk from the Bridge and Opera House and closer to CBD. Rooms was large and well appointed,... more
