Meriton Suites World Tower

“Fabulous Stay”

We stayed here for 10 nights. The service is outstanding and always with a smile. Any request was dealt with promptly. Also gave us great recommendations for restaurants. Very spacious, well appointed and spotlessly clean. Well located.

“Outstanding apartment!!! We’ll be back!”

We got a three bed apartment. It was HUGE with amazing views and super comfy. Beds comfy. Amazing facilities such as gym And lap pool. Amazing location near Cole’s and lots of takeaways. Close walk to cities main attractions. 2 blocks from museum street train station and Hyde park. Staff v friendly. Lifts take a bit of time to wait. Needs a slight makeover with some new carpets and paint but that’s being extremely picky.

Stayed 5 nights in a 3 bedroom apartment over Christmas visiting adult children living in Sydney. Was upgraded to a corner apartment with spectacular views from the airport right back to Woolomooloo wharf. As others have mentioned that's the selling point of this property along with its very central location to qvb and Chinatown. The Coles supermarket literally underneath the building is a huge plus. Along the light rail route being 5 minutes walk from the Chinatown stop. Appreciated the early checkin at 10.30am as we caught a red eye flight. Condition was mostly good although the bathrooms need upgrading (chipped tiles and chipped sink) and some definite elbow grease on the grout required. I ended up going to Cole's and buying some bathroom cleaner to give the shower crevices and bath a clean myself. The garbage shute also needs a good clean as well. You have to empty your own garbage. The provision of amenities are sparse and you have to keep ringing down to get stuff like dishwasher tablets, rubbish bags etc. Maybe a more automated system with an app or online ordering would cut down on having to ring down etc. Air conditioning not working well One annoying thing was the air conditioning system didn't function properly. there are two controls, one for the living area which worked ok but the bedroom controller, which controls all three bedrooms, was out of sync. It was either freezing in the master bedroom (18 degrees) whilst boiling (like 25 degrees - I travel with a temperature gauge) in the smaller bedrooms. I rang to get it looked at and was advised to - have both controls on ‘Fan Cool’ (not just ‘Fan’) - have the fan speed up to full blast (not half way or the aircon doesn't seem to work in the bedrooms) - have the two controls set at 2 degrees different - draw the curtains in the smaller building However this solution creates the cold master bedroom and ok side bedrooms. So not really a solution. They offered to change rooms but we couldn't bear doing that having all our accoutrements laid out for Christmas Day lunch so we stayed put. In the end I requested some fans so the kids could get to sleep and a blanket for our master bedroom which went down to 18 degrees, with the property suggestion on how to use the air con issue. If I were staying again I'd seek assurance from the staff that the room we were getting didn't have any known air con issues. To summarise excellent location and views. It's still good value at $800 per night vs getting 3x hotel rooms in Sydney. Also the kitchen is well kitted out with big fridge and decent oven etc. Staff as helpful as can be, notwithstanding the above mentioned issues. Attention to bathroom clean and maintenance and air con functionality should be addressed by the property. Tip: if you want the CBD view down to the Harbour Bridge request a high floor with that view. Our view over towards the Sydney Cricket ground, Hyde Park and Woolomooloo Wharf whilst spectacular was not iconic Sydney. When getting off at the Chinatown light rail stop look for the entrance to World Tower complex on the corner of Goulburn St & George St. You will end up on the Coles Supermarket level and then go up the escalator to get to World Tower reception entrance more quickly than walking up the hill a bit more!!
