the location is great. however, the hotel is old with torn carpets and old bathroom. The tub in looked like it hasn't been cleaned for a while and no one in the family used the tub/shower and we checked out after 6 hours.

Staff make the hotel a pleasure

Staff were amazing. Helped reserve an uber for me and also accommodated a room change when street noise was a bit much to the quieter side street. Beds were comfortable but doubles were a bit small for 2 people. Bathrooms could do with updating but I can’t fault staff for their friendliness and helpfulness they were really great . Location is great very close to main bits

An unexpected surprise when we arrived at the Sydney airport and immediately took the train to our hotel destination. Easy and close walk to hotel. Another surprise was the ship terminal was right across the street. A short walk later, the Sydney Opera House, shops and restaurants. Great location and convenient.
From our hotel.
Everything is very close and picturesque.

Happy with my stay, would stay again.

We were only on an overnight stop, hotel was ideal for our needs, great location, staff were friendly and efficient.. We were able to check in 2 hours early, which was really appreciated) Room was clean, air con hummed a little, but no big deal, view was fantastic, it suited our needs. I would stay here again for a short term stopover, longer I would want more facilities and I’d like the lobby bar open on Sunday ( which was my check in day), miserable weather outside, I’d not leave the hotel, I would have stayed and watched the football, but local venues are also close by, so it’s not a big issue.

Great location

Our stay was very comfortable. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and plenty of outlets and space. The hotel is showing its age. The bathroom could do with some attention with what looked like mold around the faucets in the bath and the shower over the bath. Carpets in the main lobby area are either very old or in need of a good cleaning. Staff were helpful and the included breakfast was a good option. Happy hour in the lobby bar was a nice event and the location, within easy walking distance of Circular Quay and The Rocks, was a key factor in our staying there.
