Fantastic hotel. A hidden gem almost. It’s great that the hotel is based on Merivale in which the food and drink is so much better than any other hotel offering.

Expect to pay for everything. You pay for not only the room dining menu but also a tray fee to your room. Nothing is free nor cheap but it is very nice. I would go back again. You would find it certainly difficult to find it hidden behind bridge street if you haven’t been there before. A big sign that says ENTRANCE to the front door would have helped. Glad to know that at least 4 guests said the exact same thing to me.

The room was well appointed and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the amenities were plentiful. The staff was excellent, extremely attentive and friendly. The room service is very good and quick. The location was very good, for food, sightseeing and nightlife.

The hallways are very noisy and the doors don't block much sound. The roof top night club resonates down the alley and you can hear conversations and mostly shouting and screaming throughout the nights until 3am, especially Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I assume it's more of a hotel that people stay at to party.

The Establishment Hotel is a hidden treasure, the location was perfect. Walking distance to Circular Quay and Wynyard Train Station so it is excellent if you’re coming from the airport. It is also a block away from the light rail (tram line) on George street. The customer service was exceptional, the room was clean and spacious. This property will go Above and beyond to make your stay comfortable.

We had no drawers in our room and if it they were present we couldn’t find them. Paper thin walls, you can hear everything including the next door neighbour upon her world being rocked so to speak. The hotel provides ear buds for the noise coming out of the bar that travels through the lifts. Pillows were very soft, which threw my neck out. If you love a firm pillow that you are not going to sink in and have no support, best to bring your own.

The location is superb as it's just a couple of blocks from Circular Quay in a quiet alley. The area is also close to some convenient stores. It is huge with a fully stocked minibar and includes living area. It is quiet, dark and comfortable to sleep in at night.

It's showing signs of ageing, perhaps it's the building itself but some modern amenities are lacking. For instance, the lighting could only be controlled at one point at the entryway making it tricky for me to turn off the lights at night. Also the mirror in my bathroom does not align with the sink making checking one's own reflection a minor inconvenience when brushing your teeth. There are no hand-held shower heads, just a rain shower. Aside from these, the hotel's main door is a huge black door which one can't see through, I mistook as a backdoor lol. The interior can be dark for some.

The staff were all exceptional. I have never encountered such genuinely helpful and kind staff at every interaction. Charlotte was an absolute delight! Gorgeous moody decor. Comfortable large room. Parking at Met centre was convenient and location is great for an event in the city.

It was a little noisy until the nightclub closed next door. However, we were so tired, so it didn't bother us very much. My only suggestions would be another towel hanger as there was only one for two towels.

Staff were friendly. Decent amenities.

The fridge was way too stocked with the drinks and fell out as soon as I opened it. And could barely fit my own water bottle inside. Very dusty and the toilet/bathroom looked very old unlike online photos. Tiles/grout look dirty and stained blinds. Rusting behind toilet door. I did let staff know about cleanliness and house keeping did come back to clean the floors but overall still very dusty in places that are overlooked. Didn't meet my expectations for the amount I spent and wouldn't return.

The hotel had a wonderful ambience. Staff were excellent. Bedroom & bathroom spacious. Adjoining top restaurants. Making it a great place for a special occasion. Our reason for booking the hotel was its proximity to the International Ship Terminal as we were leaving on a cruise. Worked really well.

The sliding glass door between bedroom & bathroom was VERY stiff to open & close . But just a minor inconvenience.

The location is fabulous, the room is massive and very unique. The lighting can be dimmed. The staff were incredibly friendly. Housekeeping were good and always tidied the room even when heading out later in the day. e rooms need some tlc

Unfortunately the room was a bit worn. The tiles were all cracked and stained. Some soft furnishings had stains. And not all light switches worked in the room, having to turn off lights at the entrance. There are no power-points or usb chargers on the bedside table or bedhead. Due to the location it is quite loud, but earplugs are provided. However, in the morning it is also loud with housekeeping trolleys and rubbish trucks. Room to room the walls seem great, no noises could be heard, however you can hear everything from the corridors.

The location was in great Proximity, to most, if not all of Sydney's Darlington Harbour Attractions. Room was clean. and tidy. Bathroom wad awesome. Staff were friendly.

The Security staff and bouncers are very quick to turn away ppl who can't dance. Saying they look drunk. When it comes to Latin dancing everyone is bad. . I was very quickly Tapped and annoyed that they removed me without a breath test or sobriety test.

Location was incredibly good, their restaurants, room service, etc were very nice, along with the complimentary wifi. Front staff were very friendly. Of the location, you're very close to the offices on George street, a brief walk to Circular Quay, which proves train access directly to the airport.

Some of the fixtures are beginning to show their age, with the bathroom difficult to see yourself in in the morning accurately.
