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.

The tub was badly stained and needs to be replaced. There was mould around the sink. Continental breakfast was $30 and a latte was more than $5 extra. I took a pass. I paid over $400 for the small room with no harbour view. Great location but overpriced.

Terrible hotel, not well maintained. During night if someone takes a shower you can hear the pipes making a huge noise. They actually made me awake. Very very expensive for the type of hotel it is. Ok it is in a good place but the rest is an absolute shame

Although the hotel is dated and the room could have used a more through vacuum, it is in an idea location for much of the sites and things we wanted to see in Sydney. The proximity to the Opera House, Sydney Bridge etc... were great. The views of the area from the pool area were excellent once the cruise ship that was docked in Circular Quay. Staff were helpful and kind. All of the good things cancelled out the not so great and we enjoyed our stay.
