“October with UK Visitors”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

In early October we stayed with our UK visitors for 2 nights. Originally we had booked a 2 bedroom sky apartment, but after we looked at the apartment my husband - who suffers from vertigo - became quite upset when he saw the balcony had a low rail. There was no problem changing to a lower floor with an enclosed balcony, and the new accommodation was very comfortable for us and our visitors.
The apartment was situated in a good area, and was an easy walk to Chinatown and Darling Harbour.
If we came to the city again we would be happy to stay there again.

“Unhappy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

The view and location was great and the apartments were OK. Elevators were very bad - at one point it took 15 minutes for an elevator to stop at the floor. I could not get into my room for over 2 hours and because they were busy I just had to wait. Housekeeping did not service my room from the night before .. when I asked I was told that they could come anytime up until 5.00pm. At 5.45pm I ended up cleaning the room myself because I had to go out. Even after speaking with the duty manager there was no offer of anything to make ammens for the inconvenience. In total I booked 6 rooms. I think the hotel would be OK as long as you do not have a problem that needs resolution..

Room Tip: If you ask for a high floor ... be prepared to spend a lot of time in the elevator ..

Dear GlennB,

We appreciate all guest feedback, as this valuable tool allows us to act in a positive manner and to constantly improve the services we provide and pride ourselves on.

Let me firstly offer my apologies for the delay with the lifts, however during peak periods they are quite busy, as you can appreciate we have 431 apartments over 56 floors.

I was disappointed to read your comments that your room was not serviced, I have passed your comments on to our Housekeeping Manager also I'm sorry the Duty Manager was not able to rectify your request, this has been address with our staff.

We do hope to welcome you back to Meriton Kent St in the near future.

Kind Regards

“Fantastic location and great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

This place is fantastic value compared to the cost of hotels in Sydney's central district. Nice staff, really great rooms, and a surprisingly big swimming pool. Obviously you don't get some of the things that you would at a hotel, like an onsite restaurant, but there's hardly any need for that in Sydney where you are surrounded by places to get food. I'd assumed they wouldn't allow short-term rentals since they are apartments, but we stayed for one night and there were no problems - and the studio apartment was larger than a hotel room would be. Shame that there is no free wifi in the rooms, but there is some wifi access in the lobby and it seems to be common in Sydney for hotels not to offer free internet.

“Awesome pool and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Spent a week here. Location was very close to darling harbor. Rooms were new, clean, well done. We were in an efficiency unit which was more than enough for us. Kinda quirky washer/dry. Had great personal service from Francis in reception.

Swimming pool and fitness center were exceptional, nice 2 lane plus pool on 15th floor.

Some units have balconies, which we didn't have but we were there to see sydney anyway.

Suggestions, go for a higher floor, still could hear street noise on 32nd floor. Try for balcony room.

If 4 or more of you, have desk arrange for a private limo for airport transfers. We paid $16 each for 4 using the air porter shuttle; we heard a $50 limo was available. The airport shuttle $16 air porter was 20 minutes late and then made extra stops during rush hour getting to the airport.

Meriton offered a great product here, I was impressed.

Room Tip: High floor, balcony
