We’ve enjoyed our first stay in Sydney. The hotel was clean and nicely renovated, the view from our room of the harbour was beautiful and our suite was spacious. The only suggestion would be a small bottle of body lotion, which I forgot to bring. There was only shampoo/conditioner.

Paid extra for a waterfront suite. It was located right beside a stairwell. The noise was pretty bad as they happened to be having a prom or something. We were on the second floor so from 1am to 5am difficult to sleep with the stairwell noise. If getting one of these rooms ask for a higher floor.
