The property was nice and in a good loaction. The rooms were big enought o accomdate 3 adults but the bathroom was outdated so water pressure was either too cold or too hot. Overall it was easy to walk to places, plenty of dining options and close to the opera house, aquarium and tower.

Great location after cruise docking 5 min walk away. Hotel was great at keeping luggage until room was ready in the afternoon. Room was OK but bathroom really needed updating (stayed at this hotel 2 years ago and must have been given a renoed room on a lower floor which was much more acceptable.

The room is very old, with the prices you are charging I would at least expect some movies or streaming on your TVs. I think I will be staying somewhere else next time. The staff were helpful. The room we had, had very little air conditioning, even though it was on 17*C and it was hot. We asked to be moved and after a couple of hours we were moved. The rooms need to be updated even a paint job would improve the look. It was actually decorated like a 60s hotel. The position is great and as I said the staff were nice.
