### PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Our first time and it was delightful, from valet staff to housekeeping everyone was warm, friendly and professional. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Breakfast was delightful they even had umbrellas on rainy days to pick up and drop off. Sweets cart of Australian goods on some afternoons. Close to food, bars and shopping. We felt very safe with our children walking in the evening neighbourhood. Will stay again, thank you. "

### Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"After a long international flight, this hotel was incredibly easy to reach—even while traveling with young children. The location is perfect for families: we could get into the city in about 15 minutes the next morning, and it’s directly across the street from the Qantas domestic transfer terminal. The convenience made our travel day so much less stressful, and we really enjoyed our stay."
