Had a few issues with my booking (my fault!) the front desk were so friendly and assisted me as best as they could. The room itself was very comfortable and so close to all shopping needs. Walking distance to the Harbour Bridge and Opera house, super convenient!
Thank you for the memorable stay :)
The location was very good as was the cleanliness and size of the suite however for most of two full days the lifts were malfunctioning. People were trapped in one lift for over an hour, another lift was out of order and the electronic management system favoured calls to the parking floors over guest floors. When we left two days later, the situation had not improved.
Excellent location, just at 2 minutes from the Town Hall train and tram station, or 4 minutes to Museum station and direct train to airport.
Excellent service, but we stayed later in Meriton Melbourne, and the comparison is not favorable to Sydney Pitts, which need a facelift to regain its full attractiveness.
We would recommend anyway,

Location of the property makes it very convenient to go to different places - shopping centers, QVB, The Rocks, etc. But cleanliness is not highly rated as we saw a dead cockroach right in front of our apartment door and there was also no one cleaning or tidying up our apartment during our 3 nights stay at the property.
Good location. Handy to lots of things in the city both walking and through handy public transport options. Had a 2 bedroom apartment. Was an excellent size and liked having a lounge/dining area.
Very nice place, well equipped and friendly helpful staff. Only downside rolling upgrade 1 of 3 lifts over a few months can cause extended waits and congestion. Not a big fan of indoor swimming pools
Right in the heart of the shopping district, thronging with shoppers. Super easy to get around. They have the Aircon set to drown out the street sounds, like a blow dryer on all the time.
My main problem was the none working internet, that took 3 nights to fix.
Unfortunately one of our rooms was not available at 3pm. Was advised that they would call when room was ready. After 4pm still no call and had to go to reception again to check. Too bad if we required the room to get ready for a function! Not good enough....check in is getting later and later!
Appalling customer service from slow check in to checkout. Things like no iron available and took over an hour and several calls to reception to get one. Lift being refurbished which meant slow waits every time and loud drilling noises started at 7am. No wifi would work.
Over charged at check in. Overall extremely poor service and training of front of house staff. For cost of accommodation certainly not good value.

Great Location Let Down By Poor Service.
Great location let down by sloppy management and lack of attention to details.
Arrived just before the 3pm check-in time (OK with that) and luggage stored with a promise total when room ready. NO CALL MADE. Waited ages to collect stored luggage (staff member found on a phone call). Nice kitchen BUT no plug for sink, no lost of equipment provided. Only had a fry pan. Went to front desk to request a saucepan - came back from shopping and found a 2nd frypan had been delivered. never bothered to speak with staff again - waste of time. Mid stay "service" was very basic - no attempt to ensure all supplies were re-stocked.
Finally, only 2 of three lifts working for a 50+ storey building - timing of renovating 3rd lift questioned when this was a season with very high occupancy (lot of families in).

Not worth the cost
Due to the maintenance elevator, the wait time is almost 6-10 minutes.
We paid for the two-bedroom apt for almost 550 a night. The room felt dated. The walls were scuffed up. Lights in the bedroom weren't working, and the bedsheets smelled terrible.
The washing machine was thunderous to use.
I would most likely won't stay at this hotel again. There are accommodations in the city.
Great location, staff were wonderful, but the hotel itself needs some TLC. Stains on the lounge, minimal items in the kitchen, just all round tired and looking a little worn out and neglected. I would have expected more for what you pay. And the lifts were a bit of a nightmare also.
Excellent location. Rooms clean and well maintained. Service of rooms is not Daily, During our 4 day stay we only had service to the room on our last day. However if you called for fresh trowels they always delivered them.
Terrible experience, been allocated to a noisy room. Aircon was very loud even on low fan during a humid evening. Been checked in by a non friendly receptionist although she kindly gave me my room earlier than check in time. Long waiting at the lifts. Was there for work and didn’t have a wink of sleep. Sadly will never stay or book any of our staff there again!
Perfect location if you have meetings in the city and very close to the Town Hall train station for easy transport and from the airport.
Loved it!

This is not a 'luxury' property it's just an office block. The lifts are not currently working properly requiring at least a 10 minute wait. Our room was not ready when we checked in at 3pm and we had to wait 15 min.

Poor resolution to a potentially serious problem.
The hotel is clean and conveniently located, however, my stay was horrible. The first night, the tv kept randomly turning itself on in the bedroom. I tried removing the batteries from the remote and ended up unplugging the tv. Problem solved temporarily. The second night I woke up choking at 3am from very strong paint fumes coming from the parking garage below. Security came to our room to confirm that it was indeed paint fumes and apologized. Nothing more. I slept in a chair by an open window that night. Next day I checked with the front desk and was told they weren’t finished painting and moved us up to the 49th floor. Although better, the fumes were so strong we could smell it on the 49th floor as well. As an asthmatic, i assumed I was more sensitive, but other guests had a similar experience and were not happy. I coughed for 2 days after leaving the hotel. They deducted 25% from my bill. Big deal 🙄 Horrible experience.
Waited 1 hour and half in elevator because they were working on the other 2 elevators told me i could check in early and waited 8 hours to check in tv quit working in thr bedroom didnt realize thats there was going to be construction outside with jack hammers going off all night but other then that it was ok

There were 3 lifts at the hotel for the duration of our stay one and sometimes two were out of order meaning very long waits several times a day there were 37 floors so taking the stairs not an option.
The room was not serviced during our stay so begun to feel quite grubby
There was lots of noisy building work in the area during the night
The property was old in compare with the price.The microwave was broken!
When I opened the microwave door just came off on my hand..The shower handle was broken.
The lift was terrible for going down and coming up..It took 10 min.
Most off the power plug were broken with out cover around.
I tried to talk with manager but nobody care.
The price soo hight in compare with facilities
Great high rise apartment feel. Nice city views from windows. Plenty of room to spread out. Appreciated that there was milk in the fridge for coffee.
Location is great for exploring all of Sidney. Just around the corner from Town Hall Tram stop and all the shopping there. 10-15 minute walk to Chinatown and Paddy's market. 20 minutes walk to Darling Harbor or Central Quay.
Only downside was ongoing upgrades to the elevators creating 20-40 minutes delays in getting a ride up or down. As property is a high rise, the stairs aren't really a great option.
Value for money was great.
Excellent location for a stay at a modern apartment….

Good value accommodation in heart of Sydney
Centrally located, near lots of eateries, cafe. Suite is spacious, clean and very functional. Well equipped kitchen where guests can cook and dine. Very convenience with light rail, trains and subways.

Great spot in the city but a bit outdated. Lots of stains on the couch. Did get to borrow a hair straightener though so that was handy. Lift’s were under repair so took forever to get anywhere and people packed in so they didn’t have to wait even longer. Pool was great. Spa didn’t work.
Not enough elevators - long waiting time and always jam pack with people

We stayed for 5 nights. Staff were pleasant and efficient. One lift is being upgraded so there were only two in operation. When you scan your card, you are allocated a lift. You could wait up to 4 minutes for it to arrive and then it was jammed packed or 10 other people and luggage waiting. At times it could take 10 to 20 minutes just to get to the room or foyer. It really took a shine off things and many people were annoyed, missed transport etc. Apartment was cleanish. Had to rewash dishes and mugs as they were mucky. The pellet dispenser in our dishwasher is broken so this did not help with cleanliness. Comfortable beds, couch, fantastic water pressure in the showers.
Very noisy at night from 27 floor as there is building going on all night across the road - jack hammers etc. Loos like that might go on for a while longer. Fab location for walking to Darling Harbour and Circular Quay, transport and shopping.
They need to clean the skirting boards and get the lift situation under control. Might stay again if necessary.

The female staffs at the front desk were polite and friendly. But the property is not so ok. We have to wait 45 mins for the lift. Apartment itself is outdated. But the location is great.
