An older, but well-maintained property in the heart of Sydney's Chinatown AND CBD. It was about a 40 minute walk to the Opera House - which was magnificent, but so was the many sights and sounds of the City. Plenty of food options -- all within walking distance. A short 20 minute Uber ride to the Airport.

The overall stay was great. Our rooms were ready before the check in time, the staff was very cordial and helpful. Rooms could use an update. The hotel is changing brands from Accor to Ascott, which wasn't clear when booking (it didn't impact our choice but would have been good to know beforehand).
