My stay at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour had its highs and lows. The location was fantastic, with beautiful views of Darling Harbour and close proximity to attractions. However, the service I experienced fell short of the hotel's 5-star standard, with issues like room tidy-up and lack of attention to details. Overall, the experience was enjoyable but not what I had hoped for given the price.
