Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour, an IHG Hotel - Pub in Sydney New South Wales

Very nice and pleasant to stay at.
The location is central, and the traffic is heavy around the hotel
The staff is very friendly, the rooms are well equipped and clean.
The gym is small, but it is ok.
The drive to the airport is not long, even though it was peek time, it took 30 mins by using the tunnel.

Clean well equipped room with a fab comfy bed. Short walk to either York Street or George Street for the bus or light railway for access to all of Sydney. Great location. If it's a room with a view you want, ours on the seventh floor was facing another building so no joy there. Easy walking distance to Circular Harbour and the Harbour Bridge.

Clean, tidy and very comfy. Good sized room with good amenities, along with having earth-friendly facilities. The pool was nice, albeit small. The only things that weren't great were the shower (leaks all over the floor and soaks the bathmat) and the elevator call system. It was a little too high tech for only 2 elevators and ended up being a problem when there were too many people at one time. Otherwise, great location and good service with friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

A standard check in time is 3pm and due to my early flight schedule, the receptionist managed to let me check in by 12:30pm when I arrive the hotel ard 11am. I feel that the entire teams are sincere about client centric and the "willing to help and serve" attitude is what I really appreciated during the stay. During the stay, the room is excellent condition with pillow spray for guest who can relax during their sleep after a long day of work and the "go green" objective doesn't impact a lot on the facilities inside the room. I would highly recommend Crowne Plaza. Well done and keep it up.

I stayed here on business for three nights in November '24.

The hotel is overall excellent and I would stay again without hesitation. The rooms are spacious and pretty much new with good amenities. The location is a good mix of 'central but not so central you regret it'.

The hotel communal spaces are fairly standard for an IHG property and overall good. The breakfast is nice (but expensive) and the room service was about average and delivered quickly. All the staff I interacted with were efficient, friendly and professional.

The gym and rooftop pool are nice bonuses for a business trip and I enjoyed using both.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that on checkout I asked for a printed receipt and was told it would be emailed - which it wasn't. I had to chase several times after leaving the hotel for a copy.. which is annoying when you're a business traveller. But, overall this is a very minor thing.
