Aspire Hotel Sydney

Not a great overall experience......I was here for 4 nights. The only positive thing I can find to say about the hotel is the location is not too bad for Darling Harbour. The hotel itself is in dire need of refurbishment......it is very tired looking and grubby in all areas. Despite what they claim there is no internet access at all in the rooms which in today's world is a huge frustration. Only access is in the lobby where there are few places to sit and then they still charge you for internet access. Areas that could not easily be seen in the room (under the bed) behind bedside tables were filthy and had not been cleaned in a very long time. Would not recommend this hotel or stay there again.

Short walk to Darling Harbour, but not the nicest part of the city. Room was adequate, but dated and pull out beds were below standard for anyone other than very young children.

We had to stay in the city overnight with our 2 year old toddler. The hotel was clean, on a very quiet street & only 5-10 minsutes walk over to the Entertainment centre/China town district. The room we had was huge - with a massive king bed (that ended up fitting all 3 of us) & a lounge area with 2 sofa's. The staff at reception were casual & friendly, answering all questions. There was undercover parking for an additional fee, but it was cheaper than other places we looked at staying in. Overall we were really happy with the hotel & it's location & would definetly come here again.

The room was okay. Good aircon, Tv, roomy and a nice bed, however the room was let down by the dirty walls.

Staff were friendly enough. Had (free) baggage storage for before I checked in and again after I checked out so that was good. But the room was so so. Airconditioning was pre-set and I could not adjust temp or fan speed or anything - only could turn it on and off - it was OK but I would have liked it cooler - if I was staying longer I would have bought a fan to use. Had large balcony but looked up to neighbouring house/ apartment windows, without curtains pulled the could possibly see into room, also close enough to get a bit of noise from them - just not felt private. And the neighbourhood seemed possibly a little rough as it was. And then the bed was not quality - went I first sat down on it I thought it was going to be terrible as it seemed to sink in the middle - I was actually surprised that it wasn't as bad to sleep on as it looked/ felt it would be. So overall it was OK and nothing unpleasant really, but I wouldn't stay again unless someone else was paying and even then I might ask if we could go elsewhere. It's a budget hotel but there are other budget hotels that I think are better. Then again, it could have been worse - if you stay here you probably won't be over impressed but also not too disappointed. That's my view anyway.

Decor a little tired but good value. Staff helpful. Main reason for choosing was secure parking in an underground car park for our hire car as we wanted to stay within walking distance of the city centre for our short stay. Unable to book the deal stay 3 park free offered on the web site (just couldn't get the site to accept the booking) but reception only charged for 2 of the 3 nights parking.

We had 3 adults and 1 17 yr old in the room. The 2 beds for our almost adult children were dreadful, sagging almost to the floor , resembling the big dipper at Luna Park. However, the staff were most helpful in replacing these with alternatives when asked.The air conditioning struggled with the humid conditions, making sleeping challenging, particularly when exceptionally loud and vibrating drilling started in the room above us at 7.45 am in the morning...9 am would have been acceptable! However, the staff were friendly, the room clean....but only 1 teaspoon with the tea and coffee facilities for 4 of us!. Would stay again as the location is perfect for us, but would be more prepared for the challenges.

Quiet, clean rooms, friendly customer service. Good location to city. Slight old world style to the Hotel.

Great Hotel for less money!

Clean and well appointed for the price. Great location for a stay in Sydney or for somewhere to stay if you're having a night out. 10min walk to Darling Harbour or a quick cab ride to the CBD. Would recommend.
