I stayed overnight at Star City in a superior Pyrmont view room. The room was a good size, with a very comfy couch and modern furnishings. The view was not great, but that was to be expected.

There was one hiccup when we checked in at about 4pm, and were assigned a room which we discovered was had not been cleaned! The staff apologised profusely and sent a bottle of pink champagne to our room, which was a very nice touch.

We had a fantastic dinner at Pyrmont Steak and Seafood restaurant, and enjoyed having the excitement of the casino on site and all the entertainment options it offered. The Lagoon Bar in the casino has an enormous waterfall and drinks are much cheaper here than in the Lobby Bar.

I'll definitely return to Star City but next time I'll stay longer so that I can try more restaurants or see a show at the Lyric Theatre. One word of warning: convenience store is crazily expensive. I bought a toothbrush that had thai writing all over it for $8.00 I was prepared for a huge markup, but that's impressive! Nothing is priced and I'm sure that if they were, no-one would buy anything.

Star city was fine.
Rooms were very clean and comfortable. I stayed in a Pyrmont room that looks over the Pyrmont Bridge (opposite to Darling Harbour side) View was not spectacular. On arrival my electronic key did not originally waork but this was quickly rectified by pleasant staff. The furnishing were nice but nothing special. TV has a great selection of channels but was an old 51cm tv which is very substandard when you pay $270 a night and other hotels charge less with LCD screens avaiable.
Fantastic place to stay for the nightlife as the casino never shuts and there is always activity in the area especially on a weekend.
Istay at Star City more for the fact that it is right on top of a great casino and good restaraunts not for the quality of rooms although i have never stayed in a bedroom appartment and these may be different.

we booked an apartment...............wow complete with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, Lounge come dinning room, full kitchen and washer / tumble dryer..............great value

Stayed seven nights from New years day, we picked Star City as it was close to Darling Harbour. The downside first, they had no apartments available and we were placed in a Deluxe Room, very Nice but the Sheraton in Noosa was better. Considering the money we were paying the room could have been nicer and the view was not good (so beware).
The good points, we ate at Fortunes which was Breakfast Buffet this was in with the price of the Room, Buffet was excellent with a lot of choice, although senior staff attempted to try and rush you if it was close to closing (10.30am). We also ate at Pyrmonts this is a excellant location and wonderful food I highly recommend the Seafood platter for two . We also used Astral Bar on the roof, which is a excellant way to start or end your evening, inside or out you will have a gorgeous view of Darling Harbour,CBD and the Bridge.
We visited the Casino (not my scene) but for those who enjoy a flutter there cannot be better in Oz and we enjoyed having a drink in one of the bars and just people watched, the casino seemed busy 24/7.
There are a number of bars and eateries you can use (Harbour Walk) including, Subway, Score Bar, Irish Bar, Ice Cream Parlour,Pizza restaurant, situated here is the convenience store which had about everything and always open.
The Hotel Coffee Lounge is quiet and well stocked with Cakes etc.
We used the pool, the location is a bonus with good views of Sydney whilst you relax, the gym situated here is also very good.
The location of the Resort (thats what it is) is about 3-4 minute walk from the Maritime Musum, which is the start of Darling Harbour and all the attractions.
I would have given Star City the five, but there were little things that stopped me doing so, however if you go you will enjoy your stay I would recommend the apartments and not the deluxe rooms
