The Positives: The hotel in itself is not too shabby. The rooms are clean and the bedding is adequate. The Negatives: The bathroom is tiny. The bathtub is extremely slick (I almost slipped but luckily grabbed hold of the shower curtain). The room overlooks a hideously dirty roof-top garage and opens up into neighboring building’s balconies - filled with drying laundry. My partner and I looked for the views from all other sides of the hotel and did not see anything superior. Next, the hotel is in a very Asian part of Sydney with quite a walk to the Opera House and Royal Gardens. My partner and I were looking for authentic Australian/Aboriginal culture and I don’t think that Citigate Central has anything bordering on even a hint of such affiliations. Finally, and most grossly - the service at the hotel. We had to wait three hours and call four times before a simple vase could be brought to our room as the hotel staff informed us to wait 5 minutes as "it will be right up." The incompetence and slow service both at the "concierge desk" and front desk could only be rivaled by the non-existent taxis that had been ordered for us and we waited for. After half an hour or so, we walked half a block and flagged one down. Ridiculous. So my advice for those considering visiting this "four-star" hotel is to get a three star one closer to Darling Harbor and spare yourself the agony of disappointment that Citigate readily supplies.
