This hotel is in a great area. It was good value for money. Loads of options for dining and close by sightseeing. The only disappointment was the shower which was very poor and hard to regulate temperature. (Room 822) There was soap, shampoo & conditioner supplied. We did not have a harbor view - not sure if booking with Expedia makes that difference however the back of the hotel overlooks the origional Rocks which are beautiful. We did not prebook the hotel breakfast as there are plenty of little cafes in the area. 4 night stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff were very courteous and helpful, The room we had was clean and tidy and ideal for a stop over. The hotel and rooms are dated and in need of upgrade, TV is basic and the control we had was temperamental. We had a top floor room which had a great view to the cruise terminal so could see our ship come in. The hotel is easy walk to all things The Rocks & Circular Quay, with cafes and pubs steps form the door.
