Great location, just steps away from Circular Quay and easy walking distance to the Sydney Opera House and many restaurants. Unique building floor plan reflecting the age of the building. Room was spotless. Wonderful breakfast, friendly and accommodating staff (we travel heavy, with lots of luggage). Ceiling fans in the room much more comfortable than Air Conditioning. Highly recommend.

Located within a few minutes walk of Circular Quay station, this hotel is ideal if you’re arriving by train from Sydney airport. Well located for walking to the Opera house and Harbour bridge. Traditional, homely, excellent breakfast, good room with all needs met. Will certainly re-use.

Friendly, helpful staff. Very comfortable bed. Opening windows and a ceiling fan is much my preferred air con so I was happy with that. As it's an old building in the Rocks area and on a slope the hotel has odd groups of steps in the corridors so may not suit some guests. The stairs down to the dining and bar areas are also quite steep. I have stayed there before and would stay again as it's very convenient for the Opera House, the Rocks, Circular Quay and rail services.
