This hotel has the feels of a European neighbourhood hotel. None of the autopilot check ins you can get with the chains. Very personal, deeply caring and authentic. The rooms are lovely and you can open a window!! The towels are worth an exceptional mention.

The hotel is nuzzled in the back streets of Paddington, in a quiet location, but close to shops, cafes and restaurants. When you arrive you are treated with complimentary canapés which are to die for. Loved this hotel and will be back again.

The bestest.

Unsurpassed attention to detail in understated luxury above a one-of-a-kind restaurant in a charming and vibrant part of Sydney. Could not recommend enough (but maybe I shouldn’t, as I don’t want to find it booked out next time I’m heading that way).

Excellent boutique hotel. Chris and the entire staff could not have been more hospitable. Perfectly clean and beautifully appointed room. We stayed two nights and had the most incredible meal at Saint Peter. Could not recommend it more highly.
