The room was clean and a great size. The sofa bed was terrible, the mattress was so thin the metal bar in the middle was able to be felt. It actually appeared bent/ broken. We ended up doubling over the mattress, using the lounge pillows at the end and getting an extra blanket and pillow to fill the gap. It worked but wasn’t ideal. If booking again I would as for a king bed room instead and share with my two kids. Apart from that staff were lovely and helpful, the room was nice and we had a good stay.

The APX Darling Harbour is in an excellent location. Just step out the door and you are in Chinatown with lots of great restaurants to choose from. It’s also just a short walk to most of the main attractions including Darling Harbour itself and the new entertainment centre, our main reason for staying there. Central Station and the light rail are easily accessible too.
The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped, although the TV could be a little bigger and the couch was a bit old. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.

The bed was really hard, looked at the mattress and seen it was upside down so we turned it over to find it was covered in blood!
I was absolutely horrified!
I had to cause a scene for them to up grade our room!
We waited 2 days for fresh towels . The place is definitely misleading and the pic shown on Expedia is not a pic of the APX you stay at

The location is absolutely amazing!
The apartment was reasonably clean and the kitchen is decently setup.

5 minutes walk to darling harbor as well as China town.

Dining options are almost endless


The only cons I have are:
The staff are almost non existent
The property's entrance is outdated & rundown

I would definitely stay there again given the price

This hotel retains security bonds for extensive and unreasonable periods of time and then provides false information when queried. The hotel was dirty and damp and the courtyard contained rubbish and broken cleaning equipment. The TV in the room had no signal and bathroom was leaking. Staff were unhelpful.

The location was very good if you were attending anything at Darling Harbour, also only a short walk to Chinatown, Paddy's market and the city. Lots of Asian restaurants close by.

The lobby and room were old and showing signs of age but was comfortable enough. Nice comfortable bed and pillows. Fridge has no shelves on the door so made it difficult to store much cold food in the room ad the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor.

I paid a good rate for three nights as I chose limited housekeeping, however there was no housekeeping at all.

We would sttay again just for the good location.

The only complaint was the shower, very slow.
Other than that, area was great, spacious room and great size balcony.

When we arrived, which was early afternoon, there were no staff at the desk, we then waited 15 mins to be checked in.
The room certainly needs upgrades...a rusted fridge, mouldy grout in the bathroom/shower.
Our room door needed to be slammed to shut.
You are simply paying for location with this one.

The reception staff were lovely, they really excelled! The location is great for access the ICC and central Sydney.
My room was clean and spacious.
My only issue was the hot water, I would turn the water on and get slightly warm water and then it went cold. I got told by reception to leave it on for 5 minutes and it should go hot, it didn’t.
I ended up sending an email of complaint and they did give me some money back which was appreciated. On the final day before I left the shower did get warm after running the water for over 5 minutes. A big waste of water.
This was a real shame as honestly it was otherwise a great place to stay.

Hotel was close to the entrance of Chinatown. Within walking distance of a variety of food choices. Close to local transportation. Only complaints were no instructions in room on how to use the hotel app to contact staff. The safe was non functioning for a new passvode.

This hotel is located near Chinatown, in one of the older areas of Sydney. The surrounding neighbourhood has a wide variety of restaurants, with plenty of food options to choose from. However, the hotel itself is not worth the money. The property feels old, outdated, and poorly maintained. Rooms lack proper upkeep, the facilities are below expectations, and the overall standard does not match the price being charged. While the location is convenient for accessing Chinatown and nearby attractions, the quality and value of the stay are disappointing.

The street where this motel is located, this is not the fault of APX motel group, it's more to do with the local council and surrounding buildings/restaurants to keep the street to a reasonably clean condition, rental bikes blocking the narrow footpath, cigarette butts all over the place doesn't make for a very appealing welcome to the neighbourhood.

The room was very comfortable - a good size, included full kitchen, bright, clean and inviting.

The location was magic - directly in the middle of Chinatown with hundreds of restaurants, etc at the doorstep.

This is a budget hotel so don't expect five star quality and don't expect five star prices.

Overall it is great value for money. Very comfortable and inviting.

Plesant Stay

Nice spacious 1 bedroom appartment with small balacony. Bed large and comfortable. Nice bathroom. Appartment very clean. Great location. Few minor issues: 1. Safe could not be closed and staff said it needed to be replaced. 2. No remote control for air conditioner in bedroom. Requested a replacement but no action for 3 days. Once requested again, it was quickly provided. Would definitely stay in APX Darling Harbour again.

I liked that it was within walking distance of where we were going for the evening and the bed was comfortable.

Disliked the really bad paint fumes coming from the room next to us that was being renovated. Gave me a headache.
The shower had a long black hair on the floor and dirt pushed up into one corner.
We went out for a couple of hours and when we returned at around 10:30pm the electronic lock on our room door would not unlock so we were left standing in the hallway waiting for more than 30 minutes for someone to come and fix it.
