Nice staff. Great location for events at Darling Harbour. Clean. Compact rooms. 2 criticism: There is a lot of water wasted while you wait 5 to 7 minutes for hot water to come through. We read this in other reviews on Google and those reviews were accurate. Air conditioning does not work. It was quite cold all night. If I didn’t have my heater husband with me, I would’ve had to go and get extra blankets.

Convenient location

The room was very compact and having stayed at this hotel on arrival and departure from Sydney with several suitcases I have never had such a small room. Mr Cameron the front office manager was very helpful and accommodating in giving us a significant late check out. His attitude to my comments regarding the room will encourage me to return.

I recently stayed at Hotel Woolstore 1888 for one night, and it has now become my go-to accommodation in Sydney. The building beautifully honours its history, seamlessly blending original features with thoughtful design. Every staff member we interacted with was exceptionally considerate, consistently exceeding our expectations without us even needing to ask. I truly couldn’t fault a single aspect of our stay—it was such a standout experience that it’s inspired me to leave my first-ever review.

I had a great stay at Woolstore 1888 in Sydney. The hotel has a charming blend of historic character and modern comfort, making it a fantastic place to stay. The rooms were well-designed, clean, and cozy, providing a relaxing atmosphere after a long day of exploring the city. A special mention to Cameron at the check-in counter, who was extremely helpful and welcoming. His friendly attitude and efficiency made the check-in process smooth and pleasant. He provided great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, Woolstore 1888 offers excellent service, a great location, and a unique ambiance. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney!
