The location is great, right in the Rocks with food and shops around. Rooftop has great views of the Sydney opera house and harbor bridge. The staff was very helpful, we were able to check in early. The gentleman who works nights at the desk was excellent, any question he answered and he helped us out with our luggage that malfunctioned. Rooms and bathroom are a bit small, but we were only in there to sleep. The place is a maze, it’s a triangle, but part of the level is down a few stairs.

Rooms were very plain but the beds were comfortable. The furniture is a little dated. Loved having a fridge in the room with real cream for our coffee and tea. The selling feature of this hotel is the location!! It was a short walk from the cruise ship terminal and The Rocks just behind the hotel. Fabulous area for shops and restaurants. Very lively in the evenings. Very close to Circular Quay, ferries, trains, Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. I wished we had stayed longer. The staff were lovely and we were able to access our room early. We had a partial view of the bridge. Our room looked out at the Opera House but we seldom saw it as massive cruise ships blocked the view.
