Excellent location near Sydney harbour, however the room we stayed in was very poor, wet, worn carpet by bathroom, very old shabby worn , very basic. Black mold in bathroom. Bath very stained and smelt of mold and damp. Fridge didn’t work. Luckily we spent no time in it. Only to sleep! They took 200 dollars as deposit when we booked in, however to return deposit will take 5days! Wouldn’t recommend

The location of this hotel is excellent, but unfortunately the property is very outdated. The lifts are unreliable, and the rooms and bathrooms are in need of refurbishment. Our TV wasn’t working during our stay, and there was no maintenance staff available on the weekend to fix it. For a hotel of this standard, having maintenance support available at all times should be expected.

Great location! We disembarked the cruise ship and walked about 5 min to drop our bags and enjoy a final day of seeing the sights in Sydney. Nestled in “The Rocks” there were lots of sights, restaurants, pubs, shops near by. Had great view of the Saturday night fireworks too! Breakfast was included but didn’t start until 7 am so we had to miss. Nice Happy Hour with some food options which was a blessing since we were exhausted. No ice bucket or mention of ice but that may be a USA thing. One elevator of the two was out of order but we rolled with it and just waited our turn. I would stay here again!
