Sydney South Vacations from $3,757

Very disappointing experience, especially for the price I used to love staying at this hotel. It was always a pleasure to come back, with a fantastic reception team, complimentary minibar and the overall experience you would expect from a five-star hotel. Unfortunately, my stay this year was a huge disappointment. The rooms have been renovated, but nothing particularly impressive. Meanwhile, there is no bar, nowhere to enjoy a meal, and renovation work is happening everywhere, with workers and noise throughout the hotel. What disappoints me most is the price. The hotel is still charging premium five-star rates while offering a very limited experience. I find it hard to understand how they can justify such high prices when so many facilities are unavailable. I understand that renovations are necessary, but surely the prices should reflect the inconvenience and lack of services during this period. After being a returning guest for years, I genuinely feel the hotel has lost much of what once made it special. At these prices, there are far better options in Sydney. Extremely poor value for money.
