I found the staff at reception very helpful and they were able to provide good advice for finding supermarkets etc. When I entered the apartment I was assailed by a stale cooking smell and even though I had the balcony door open for a few hours it still didn't dissipate. Overall the apartment was tired looking and could have done... More

In short - comfortable room that could do with an overhaul, very well located near the Sydney Exhibition Centre and Darling Harbour. In detail - I stayed at the Goldsborough for one night while attending the CeBIT IT conference. I was in a one bedroom apartment on the ninth floor. It was large and comfortable and well equipped including a... More

Started off with entering the hotel through a cloud of cigarette smoke. The lady at the counter was rude and unhelpful. The hotel is like a jail. The rooms needed painting, burn marks on the kitchen bench, bad smell like the room had been locked up for months. We paid for three people to stay ( third person to sleep... More

The bad? The check in staff. Bit dismissive and rude. Apartment was a bit dated and tired. Previous write ups were spot on. The good? The location. 2nd floor walkway to cockle bay, shopping, restaurants, mono rail and light trams 2 minute walk away. Stay again? Probably not. Lots of others around. We didn't pay too much so not too... More

Absolutely terrible customer service. The reception staff were extremely rude and unhelpful. No idea about customer service. The man at reception the first night quite bluntly and rudely directed us to park in the carpark across the road which resulted in a $90 parking fee for less than 2 days! Very unhappy. More

Fantastic location, close to Darling Harbour, monorail and supermarket. We had a 2 bedroomed executive appartment on the 11th floor, with great views over Darling Harbour. The appartment was clean and in good condition, no problems with it. Reception could be busy, as could the lifts. You need to watch out for the internet charges. We queried (at reception) how...

Had a 5 night stay in the apartment, had to change a room once we got there because the first apartment was really run down, dirty, old and had a round tubed box tv with flickering reception. I found out that every room was different because it had different owners and Oaks just ran the building for them. The second... More

Booked a city view apartment for 5 person. Nice city view from the hotel room. Very spacious and really good value for money compare to other service apartments around the area. Only thing that could be improved - Some of the items like the kitchen smoke suction and mop are faulty. Other than that, its great! Recommended for a family... More
