Find 4-Star Hotels in Sydney

A perfect and comfortable stay to conclude our Sydney, Australia trip. Upon landing at Sydney domestic airport, I saw on Google Maps 🗺️ that the hotel wasn't far 🏨, so my son and I walked there, which took about 23 minutes. The moment we opened the door, we were amazed. It felt just like coming home. The front desk staff were also very good and nice. Finding food around the hotel was very convenient, with Northeastern Chinese, Sichuanese restaurants, and Asian supermarkets. A large Australian WWS supermarket was also within a 10-minute walk. Mascot train station is within walking distance, and it's just 5 stops directly to Circular Quay, known as the most beautiful station in the Southern Hemisphere. Our 3-night stay was absolutely fantastic! 🈵

Facilities: The hotel is new and well-equipped. All the in-room amenities are well-maintained and easy to use, making for a very comfortable stay overall. Environment: The environment is excellent – clean and tidy. The surrounding area has all the necessary amenities, and transportation is very convenient, with the subway station just a 3-minute walk away, making it super easy to get around. Service: The service is also top-notch. The staff are warm and professional, making both check-in and communication smooth. They are prompt in responding to any requests, making you feel right at home. The only minor drawback is that it can be a bit noisy at night due to constant traffic, which slightly affected my sleep.

We stayed for 8 nights with our 3-year-old toddler, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Location: Perfect. We walked easily from the train station after arriving from Sydney Airport. The hotel is within a 10-minute walk to Darling Harbour, about 15 minutes to Wildlife Sydney and SEA LIFE, and right next to Darling Square park. Plus, Coles, Priceline, Chemist Warehouse, and everything else we needed were just minutes away. Room layout: We booked a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, balcony, large kitchen, and lovely bathroom. The space was huge – ideal for a family. The dining table was a real bonus, and the kitchen had everything we needed. I was able to cook breakfast and dinner for our toddler each day, so we didn’t have to eat out every night. That saved us time, money, and hassle. Service: Housekeeping came almost every day, and the customer service from the entire team was fantastic – everyone was so friendly and helpful. If you’re travelling with a young child and want space, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere, I would absolutely recommend Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel. We’ll be back!

Excellent location just a couple mins walk from Town Hall station. Also has a Woolworth conveniently nearby and QVB is just across the road. Room was clean, room service was excellent and towels were replaced daily. Mini fridge and iron too in the room if needed. Bathroom is spacious enough and concierge is very friendly.

The hotel's location is decent, and the room was clean upon arrival. However, it was quite a long way from the airport when we arrived late at night. The hotel also mistakenly double-charged my credit card for the room, which had already been paid. Fortunately, they issued a refund and an apology once we pointed it out.

Facilities: Well-equipped. Cleanliness: Clean and tidy. Service: Good. Ambiance: The hotel isn't soundproof, so it can be a bit noisy at night with cars passing by on the street. It's in Chinatown, an Asian crew hotel, convenient for getting to the city center and a handy meeting point for one-day tours.

Overall, the location and environment were fine. However, when checking out, a staff member at the front desk told us to attach the luggage tags ourselves when we asked to store our bags. I found this completely unacceptable. Even for a four-star hotel, this is unreasonable. Plus, the luggage tags themselves were of very poor quality and broke immediately when we tried to attach them, which was extremely annoying for guests. This service really brought down the whole experience.

The receptionist wanted to give a terrace room with no doors/privacy even for an expensive month long booking. Despite confirming that we will be provided with a proper one bedroom apartment with seperate living and bedroom area. The receptionist made unnecessary comments during check in process which were rude. On requesting to speak with the manager, later, a proper room was assigned. But he made sure to comment that the room being provided is only for their VIP guests. One would assume that, someone booking for a month long stay should automatically be given one of the best rooms. Overall, the check-in process was unprofessional and was only handled in that way because the receptionist thought they can get away with such behaviour. The property location is good and overall a decent stay otherwise. But one reception staff in particular needs a serious correction of behaviour.

Good location, close to food outlets and main freeway. Friendly staff with secure parking provided on site for an extra $25 per night. Clean room and all amenities were provided. Would definitely return.

Reasonable price, but the hotel looks a bit old and has an unpleasant odour. The carpet definitely needs a deep clean, and the air conditioner was dripping all night. The one good thing about this hotel is the excellent customer service. Car park was great, overall it ok.
