The property is quite run down. The carpet in our room was dirty and stained, and there were hairs in the bathroom from the previous occupants (or cleaners). There were also dead bugs on the desk and in the wardrobe.

As a converted warehouse, there are obvious constraints with ‘modernising’ a building of this type I.e. no guest lift, odd shape to rooms & tv on a post etc. that said, Harbour Rocks Hotel puts you in the middle of the Rocks area, it is less than 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal, the hotel has an on-site bar, an adjacent restaurant and is quiet and all in all, a pleasant hotel. The staff are lovely and very professional and I would recommend this as a good option for the Circular Quay / area.

Nice hotel in a great spot
Hotel is lovely - room was nice - clean and comfortable. The terrace area is great. Couple of things for improvement - the split system aircon was really really noisy. Staff service was great on check in but average after that - no info that the bar downstairs isn’t open and no staff downstairs to ask. Service felt more like a nice b&b set up rather than a high end boutique hotel. That said overall we really enjoyed the stay.
