This apartment hotel was great and I would recommend it if you want to stay centrally in the Sydney metropolitan area. Lots of pluses and a couple of minor niggles. The great things were its location - it was close to transport links, restaurants, the theatre and the stadium. It has on-site parking ($40 a night); our 3-bedroom apartment on 22nd floor was spacious, and very clean. The kitchen was large and well appointed. The beds were big and comfortable. The room was very quiet. The views were spectacular. The reception staff were friendly.

The niggles were that we needed to ring for towels (none in room) – not a big drama as they came promptly. There was nothing to clean up in the kitchen (no tea towel, sponge or washing up liquid; no small broom). This would have made it difficult if you really did want to cook as using the dishwasher for everything is not sensible if you only want to wash a few glasses or mugs. The pool was closed. We had a minor misunderstanding about a possible missing item from the room, but the duty manager was very helpful and professional and we resolved the matter with minimal fuss.

We found the apartment to perfect for the amount of people that were staying (6 adults) in a 3 bedroom apartment. Well positioned clean and tidy and staff friendly and helpful.

We arrived before the 3pm check-in time and we checked approximately 2pm but the room was not available (waiting on final inspection)this was ok as were able to park the car. We then returned at 3pm and the room was still not available. We approached the desk at 3:15pm and was given our room keys. The lobby was full of other guests still waiting for their rooms to be ready as well

Great location, near to restaurants. Our suite was very clean, with a great kitchen, good shower and good wifi. The staff members we encountered were friendly and efficient. The lifts were cool, the parking was easy.

I’ve never written this in a review before…the one bedroom suite was the opposite of a home away from home. The decor was institutional. It wasn’t somewhere you could relax, all the seating was uncomfortable. The bedroom was small and there was nowhere except the limited floor space to put our bags.

The property was easy to get to and once inside it was clean and comfortable. There was a mess outside a lift and I rang reception and it was cleaned up quickly. I like that kind of service. Once inside the apartment, we did it hear anything from our neighbours at all which was lovely.

Of If I had to pick one thing, the bathroom was at the other end of the apartment to the bedroom. Being disabled and not being able to have an accessible room, this made it just a tiny bit inconvenient but it was not a huge thing.

Easy, convenient for the conference I was at, easy to get to and easy to get around. Great facilities and lovely staff - was on the top floor so view was great and suite was big and spacious even though it was just me :)

The access to the roof was just outside my door and there was no acknowledgement or warning that people would be working at early times of the morning so woke me up and sounded like someone was trying to get into the room which scared me and then the left the stairs open just outside the door which was a little too close for comfort.

The apartments are good size and are quite modern. Staff were helpful. There is a swimming pool, gym on premises. Very nice views of the Parramatta downtown and even distant views of the Sydney center. Parramatta is a major train station, it is about 15 min easy walk from the hotel, trains into the city are frequent. There is a huge shopping center (Westfields) right next to the station and many many different restaurants and bars to go to.

Our first apartment was on the 10th floor, if you open the window you get a persistent kitchen exhaust smell, presumably from some grill bar on the street. Our second apartment on the 34th floor didn't have that problem. Some things in the apartments are starting to show wear and tear, e.g. doors don't close properly, showers seals leak, bathroom sinks don't drain well, kitchen knives can use sharpening / replacement etc. nothing major though.

Close to restaurant and cafes didint go far to look for food.

Meat and Wine Co staff were racists (Asian waiter with deep bass voice) Asian girl with teeth wire braces who refused to give us a table using reservation as an excuse only to be saved by their Philippino Manager who gave us a table inside the so called fully booked restaurant; only to be preyed upon by these two in delaying our food which in most cases were 20 minutes between courses and food turning up at the table being really cold. That was the worst experience ever, hotel management should look into their restaurant.

What a great place to stay. The check in was so easy and quick. The technology with the lifts is so good, makes life easy. The rooms themselves are top shelf and could not be faulted, has everything. The location is next level and the views are mind blowing as well as being right next to restaurants, Westfield and much more. If you like going for scenic walks, this is the spot to stay!

Location and size of apartments excellent.

Booked a sky suite and was placed in a 2 bedroom apartment. As I had only booked for a one bedroom apartment, the main bedroom with the ensuite is locked off and you stay in the 2nd bedroom with the bathroom located across the apartment. This has happened on a number of occasions. I love staying at the Meriton but wish they would lock off the 2nd bedroom and bathroom and allow use of the larger main bedroom with the ensuite.

Location and facilities - spa and sauna, being able to use the washing machine, not having to worry about having breakfast at a certain time - I found that I was able to be more flexible with meals and I wasn't locked in to hospitality routines that you usually find in other hotels, being able to easily get to my car, the lift system was really impressive. I also loved seeing Riverside theatres from the restaurants, I used to be a professional dancer and performed at that theatre many times 20 years ago, I have many many good memories of that location and I loved that I could return to the same place with such pleasure. I would definitely love to visit again because the location means so much to me. Oh and I got to see the most beautiful rainbow from my room - please see the attached photo, it was spectacular!

I couldn't get the dryer to work but it wasn't the end of the world because of that
