Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Woolstore 1888 is often praised for its location in Pyrmont, a short walk to Darling Harbour and a quick tram ride to the city. Guests appreciate the spacious and well-maintained rooms, some of which feature complimentary drinks. The building's original features, such as exposed bricks and wooden beams, create a charming atmosphere; however, a few guests have noted that some rooms have limited natural light due to their window orientation. Many recommend dining at Mister Percy, especially enjoying the unique breakfast options.

i checked in and the complimentary refreshments in the room were a total treat (especially after my journey!). the hotel retained many of its original features, a fantastic nod to its history.
the air conditioning made a slight whirring noise at night, a little distracting.

lack of lightmalfunctioning air conditioning
My room, a superior king room, was smaller than i expected. i found the lack of natural light problematic. The window faced an internal shaft. the air conditioning unit seemed to have a mind of its own and i could not adjust it correctly. these issues detracted significantly from the overall experience.

the location was great. i found the staff very helpful and lovely! the room was nice and cool during a very hot weekend.
The breakfast was low effort. Portions were small. we didn't have apple phones and so couldn't connect to the tv. there were no paid tv options.
the location suited my plans perfectly given its proximity to darling harbour i had a stylish room and the bathroom was great the bed was also very large and featured the best pillows i have experienced in a hotel in quite some time the hotel maintained a quiet atmosphere throughout my stay. i especially liked the complimentary snacks offered and found them a nice touch.
the room i stayed in had no view i could only see the walls of adjacent buildings i suspect a car park and other hotels fill the surrounding area i didn't find it too bothersome.
