Mercure Sydney

10/10 Excellent
"Chambre comfortable. Excellent service à la clientèle: si vous ne demandez pas le ménage une journée, on vous téléphone en soirée pour vous demander s’il vous manque quelque chose. Si oui, on livre à votre chambre dans les minutes suivantes. Bon déjeuner buffet avec des changements de mets quotidiens. Côté localisation, l’hôtel est situé à distance de marche du Quartier chinois et de Darling Harbour. Pour le reste, la gare et le bus sont à vos pieds!"
