This is our second stay here and will stay again next time we visit Sydney. Staff, cleanliness and location is brilliant. My only constructive comment is that the rooms now need to be updated. The one we stayed in, 826, had everything we needed but it just needs a refresh to modernise it. Shower was poor with low pressure. We’d definitely stay there again and the rooftop pool and view is amazing in the heart of the Rocks

The main foyer and the staff were very nice. Staff were also very helpful and they stored our luggage when we first got there quite early in the morning and after we checked out. The room was clean, but needs some updating. The bath amenities are right above the toilet. Make sure you close the lid before touching them or they might fall in.
