Great location, just steps away from Circular Quay and easy walking distance to the Sydney Opera House and many restaurants. Unique building floor plan reflecting the age of the building. Room was spotless. Wonderful breakfast, friendly and accommodating staff (we travel heavy, with lots of luggage). Ceiling fans in the room much more comfortable than Air Conditioning. Highly recommend.

Located within a few minutes walk of Circular Quay station, this hotel is ideal if you’re arriving by train from Sydney airport. Well located for walking to the Opera house and Harbour bridge. Traditional, homely, excellent breakfast, good room with all needs met. Will certainly re-use.

This small hotel and staff were exceptional. My room was spacious, quiet and had a nice fridge for my wine. It is located in the heart of The Rocks area, close to the harbor, tram station and scads of restaurants. I am going back to Sydney in 2027 and will book one year in advance to ensure my stay.
