We stayed in a 2 BR apartment for 5 nights from Apr 14 on the 53rd floor. The view from the balcony was simply fantastic especially when we first came in around 7PM and the city lights were on. We had the view of Darling Harbour. There was no need to go up to centerpoint to see the city.

The unit was very spacious and modern. There was a plasma TV in the living room, kitchen was well equipped, washer and dryer was in a separate room next to the kitchen. The master bedroom was spacious with an equally spacious bathroom with separate bath and shower. The unit was cleaned everyday altho the guideline says it was just a touch up, the room was always neat and clean when we came back at the end of the day with all the amenities (laundry powder, dishwashing powder, shampoo etc) replenished. The unit had everything their website claimed to have.

The elevators were fast, altho the service elevator was out of commission for most times. There were a lot of brochures for tour suggestions available at the lobby. I just found the front desk to be unusually high that you wouldn't immediately notice when coming in especially if the staff behind the desk were all seated.

The internet charge was pretty expensive and it helped that there was an internet shop at the mini shopping mall at the ground floor. You can also find food options in this mini mall. This apartment is in a very good location, very near the Town Hall. There are a lot of shopping options, dining places, malls and the underground walk to the train station which you can find on the next corner. It is very close to grocery outlets like Woolsworth across the Town Hall or Coles Central on George which is just a block away. Paddys market and Chinatown is just a few blocks away.

Overall, I will not hesitate to come back to this apartment.

We booked the two bedroomed, two bathroom apartment at the Meriton, Kent Street, Sydney. It was absolutely FABULOUS. Our room was on the 42nd floor with amazing views of the city. No problem with elevators. It had all the mod cons, and everything was new, clean and just beautiful. Our two children were with us in their own room (aged 8 & 10) with their own bathroom. We had a beautiful en-suite with huge bath and huge separate shower off our beautiful bedroom. Ample wardrobe space, everything clean and spotless. The sitting room was huge and just gorgeous. There was a laundry area in the bathroom (washer and dryer). The reception was fantastic, giving us helpful advice etc. The apartment is very well located. We were extremely pleased with our stay at the Meriton. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to everybody.

Apartment booked in Sept 2007 as soon as bookings available and asked for views of the city. On arrival did not like being made to sign credit slip in case we wrecked room! What a cheek! We were given apartment 2106A, on 21st floor. This overlooked car parks, air conditioning units and skyscraper buildings. We complained to indifferent staff, who all claimed to be managers, and were told we had not asked for a view (!), but they would move us in a couple of days. The balcony doors were locked (for security reasons, we were told), but were unlocked upon request. Glass shower screen fell off when my husband had a shower; ironing board fell apart. After two nights in this inferior apartment, we were moved (or rather we moved ourselves!) to apartment 5502A on the 55th floor. What a difference - superb views, and a superior apartment. On the day we left asked if there would be a room to change and refreshen, as we had to be out of the apartment by 10am, spent much of the day touring in Sydney and had some hours to wait for the shuttle bus. We were told a room was available. This turned out to be a single toilet in the lobby - it didn't even have a towel, and there was barely room for one person and a suitcase !! Not very impressive, and a sad end to our stay. Staff and management at this apartment block need to go on a customer service course. If you must stay here, and want views of the city, insist on an apartment on the 40th floor or above.

We stayed for 9 nights at the beginning of April in a studio apartment on the 54th floor. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished. It had separate large living and sleeping areas, a well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing maching. We had a very big balcony with amazing views over Darling Harbour and the CBD. We were already in Sydney and booked directly at the reception so we were able to ask for an apartment on a high floor and the man we spoke to was really friendly and helpful. I would advise booking by contacting the booking line directly. We also got a really good rate of around £75 a night. The spa pool was a welcome bonus after walking around all day. I would highly recommend these apartments for short or long term stays in Sydney.
