Thé hotel was in the perfect location for what we wanted to do. Easy walks to Circular Quay to the ferries, The Rocks nightlife and markets, a huge choice of restaurants and walkable to art gallery, botanic gardens and Barangaroo. Easy train trip back to airport. Rooms were very comfortable. Will stay there again.

This is definitely a hotel where you are paying for location. The staff were lovely (except for the barman who tried to overcharge for our bottle of wine!) The room itself was rather basic for what you are paying. It is looking a little dated as well. Clean and in a great location for getting on a cruise ship the next day, but not really worth it for the price. Very basic amenities - only really worth half the price charged.
