Extremely Overpriced Mediocre Place with Tiny Cramped Rooms. In all fairnesss, it was for 3 days at New Years so I expected to pay a high price. However, based on pictures, etc. I expected much more. The place and furnishings were just mediocre and the rooms were extremely tiny. One costing $4,050.00 for 3 days had a good view of bridge, but was tiny even for just two people. The second room had a view of the water, but was also small and cost $2,378.00. The third room, with absolutely no view, except for another building cost $1,646.00. The rooms appeared much larger in the pictures. Had I known how tiny the rooms were to try and move around in, I would have spent $8,0074.00 for just 3 nights. Looking around, there were much nicer places, with great views at a much more reasonable price.

I mostly like the view of harbour bridge from hotel room and the tiny kitchenette with all the cutlery and utensils. Room was perfect size and clean. Bathroom was good size and had everything we need. Location had easy access to transport and CBD. There was many shops, dining options nearby. Commonwealth bank was next door with easy access to ATM. There was also a small swimming pool outside behind the reception for the residents of the hotel. It was quite safe to walk around the area. Only thing I didn't like is the parking space for the cars and it was bit narrow to drive around the parking lot.

We booked the apartment on advertisement that says kitchen available in apartment. when we checked in, we found the cooktop for the kitchen was camp style single portable electrical heater. We spoke with reception before coming to confirm availability of kitchen as we were travelling with young kids. Even after reporting once we checked in, they were not at all sorry for incorrect advertisement. I have to check out in 2 hours. Room was advice for 4 people but when you put bed for fourth person you cannot walk in room. The cleaning of the room and hotel was sub-standard compared to rating it have. We do not suggest this hotel if travelling with young kids. I booked accommodation via Expedia and they were very helpful in this stressful situation.

Staff was friendly besides front desk. The facility needs some obvious updates everywhere it appears outdated. The hotel room furniture was uncomfortable. There was dust in some areas and we were provided towels that had stains on them. 5 star location, 3 star hotel.
