Despite looking rather small and elderly against the backdrop of glass high-rises surrounding Darling Harbour, inside this is an excellent hotel of the usual Crowne Plaza high standard, well placed for access to Darling Harbour and the shopping streets towards The Rocks. No problems with the room or with the restaurant. Darling Harbour is lined with restaurants, and also has... more

We stayed three nights at this hotel, with high expectations, having been pleased with Crowne Plaza hotels on previous trips. We were not disappointed! The hotel has a great location, near public transportation and the harbor. You can walk to myriad bus and train stops. The staff was fantastic, I don't think we waited more than 10 minutes anytime we... more

Booked for 3 nights with Darling Harbour view. Have to say that the view was not really that great - a nice look at a motorway and a building site with Darling Harbour sort of in the background! Rooms were well appointed and had good facilities. Staff were generally very friendly and helpful indeed. more

We had stayed in this hotel for an exhibition at the Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre and the hotel was 5 minutes walk to the Centre. At night it is also great for all the restaurants and bars of Darling harbour and you do not have to drive or catch transport. The hotel is very comfortable with spacious rooms and all... more

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza with my husband who was attending a work conference. We stayed on the first floor sandwiched between the kitchen above and the loading bay below, both of which provided muted noise throughout the day and night. The sound was never enough to disrupt sleep, but still we had the feeling it was the worst... more

This hotel is a good standard hotel in a very convenient location in Sydney for tourists. It is very close to Darling Harbour (for the aquarium, museums, and good restaurants) and is in walking distance to the main shopping centre and bridge / opera house. My room wasnt ready when i arrived late morning, but was sorted by 1pm which... more

The hotel itself is ok; I would certainly recommend it for the location which is good : close to CBD + Darling Harbour; the rooms are ok too; unfortunately for us the hotel was full when we checked in and thus we didn't get the kingsize bed we'd asked for. But what I didn't like was the staffs' attitude :... more

I’m a Intercontinental Ambassador member. So I thought we’d try the Crowne Plaza Darling Harbour (CPDH). The only perk I got was late check-out at 2pm. The room on the tenth floor was quiet but no view of harbour cos I heard that construction was in progress. The bed was okay. Not many free channels on tv. The bathroom was... more

As a regular traveller to Sydney I have stayed here many times before. I still find this hotel a nightmare to get to by car (too many 1 way streets & an unusal entrance) This is a nice business hotel, but takes the #1 for "most difficult to get to by car". If you are working in the CBD or... more
