Great location and staff

The location is fantastic, cannot be beaten. A very short walk to the harbour bridge and opera house. Lots of dining options, great cafe’s. Local shops, pharmacy and more within 200m. The staff were super helpful and friendly and nothing was too hard. Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The property is dated but upgrades are planned, in saying that it had a good TV and the bathroom was ok.

We appreciate the location and loved the set up of our room and place to stow luggage above the drawers. The view was amazing. This is our hotel of choice when coming to the Sydney. The staff was extremely helpful especially the front desk ladies on Thursday and Friday. We also were grateful for the gym passes for anytime fitness within 10-15 min walk. Looking forward to our next stay.

Decent Stay, but Some Inconveniences

Stayed during the marathon week so price was very high. The hotel only provided small bottles of shampoo and soap, and on one of the days the housekeeper didn’t replace them, which was inconvenient. My room was located one floor down from the lift, accessible only by stairs, which made it difficult to manage with a big and heavy suitcase. On the positive side, the location is very good and quite central, making it easy to get around.

Good location. Competitive price.

Clean and comfortable room. Comfy bed. Not keen on showers over bath as always a bit dicey for seniors getting in and out. Efficient and friendly desk service. Offers the basic cereals and cooked English breakfast for a reasonable price. Happily stay again as in a good location for cruise terminal and Opera House performances.

Excellent location to Circular Quay, easily walkable, right next to the cruise terminal, dining options nearby. The hotel bar isn't open Sun - Tues and the restaurant is only open (Thu - Sat?) unless you want their breakfast buffet but we found other places to go. Anyway, that was the one disappointing thing. We'd definitely consider this hotel as an option if we returned to Sydney.
