Although described as walkable from Circular Quay this does not reflect the number of steps needing to be climbed with luggage. Staff are friendly but exceptionally slow to answer front desk phone or room service requests, an ice bucket is provided in the room but no access to ice machine, average wait for ice was 45 minutes Biggest issue was being told that we had complimentary laundry, we checked this 3 times with various staff members before using the service, we then received a $297 bill, this was eventually removed but only after I could name one of the staff members we had spoken to, a ridiculous amount of time was spent trying to check we had this service included and sorting our bill out. The breakfast is $40 if paid on arrival for all days or $52 if done on a day by day basis. 2 course meal in 36 floor restaurant is $100 per person. The hotel is quite dated in decor and expensive to eat or drink at Bell hops were fantastic and so helpful
