Absolutely fabulous location right in the center of the Rocks district. We got on a cruise ship from the hotel and it was an easy walk to the cruise port.
Perfectly located, beautifully renovated maintaining their historical charm, very comfortable bedding, amazing food, entertainment and atmosphere at the Fortunes of War hotel that serves the complimentary breakfast. An ideal getaway for adults wanting a relaxing break in Circular Key.
This Hotel is so close to everything. From check in with May , the Bar staff , the Restaurant staff , all were terrific and friendly. A very unique and well run Hotel all in its Heritage layout. Definitely stay again
Staff was amazing and friendly. Room were nice size and clean. Breakfast was amazing and finished each night with a cocktail at the bar and also on the rooftop area. Wonderful location and would stay here again.
Gorgeous boutique hotel. The executive room provided great space, fantastic bedding, a view of the harbor, and private bath. The location is perfect and walkable to several shops, taverns, and restaurants. Definitely recommended and would stay again.

Fabulous location - very friendly staff (huge thanks to Sinead), delicious food, spacious room and easy access to the rooftop terrace.
We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore Sydney and access everything we needed. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We arrived earlier than expected, and the receptionist kindly arranged for our room to be serviced as a priority so we could check in as soon as possible, which was greatly appreciated. The restaurant downstairs was also excellent, with great food and a fabulous breakfast to start the day. Overall, the service, facilities, and location exceeded our expectations.
We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in Sydney.
