recently stayed at Sofitel Sydney Australia and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The bedroom and bathroom were pretty average. We were mostly out exploring and only really used the room for sleeping, so we didn’t make use of the minibar or other in-room amenities. We opted for express check-out as we hadn’t used anything from the bar fridge. However, after returning home to Melbourne and reviewing my bank statement, I noticed that I had been charged for a Red Bull and a bottle of water that we did not consume. I found this quite frustrating and disappointing. It’s not a good feeling to discover unexpected charges after you’ve already left the hotel. Based on this experience, I’d advise guests to check out in person at the front desk and carefully review their bill before leaving to avoid any incorrect charges. Overall, I’m not impressed with how this was handled.

The Room is spacious and the darling Harbour view is great from the room. Especially, I feel that the view is wonderful after dark. The breakfast buffet is good variety of selection. The most of 5 star hotels in Auckland cannot be compared. ( I live in Auckland.) Only one thing is that the next door is under construction. It will be blocking the left side of the hotel in future

I booked the Sofitel Darling Harbour so I could attend an event nearby. The hotel is in a great location, with the Convention light rail stop across the road, which provides access to Haymarket, Star City, Sydney Fish Markets and Central Station. The hotel is also a short walk to the ICC and many restaurants in Darling Quarter, Darling Square and a longer walk to the CBD. The hotel foyer is gorgeous and when we left we noticed a staff member with a tray of juices which she was offering to patrons of the hotel. The hotel rooms were a nice size, the beds were comfortable and the pillows were nice. My only issue was the cleanliness of the toilet which had a gross stain on it, it looked like it had been there for a while, it's a small thing, but could easily be cleaned with a magic eraser. The hotel rooms had amenities such as a shower cap, cotton buds, cotton pads, TWG tea bags, slippers, coffee pods for the coffee machine, Balmain shower gel, body lotion and shampoo and conditioner. The rooms have decent sound proofing, however I could hear a man yelling loudly after midnight. Overall this hotel was lovely, the staff were wonderful.
