I usually don't book rooms with shared toilets and showers. I'm not sure how the reservation was made specifically for these rooms. That's the only thing that didn't work out for us. Because the hotel was full and we couldn't get a room with a shower and toilet, we moved to another hotel. Overall, the hotel is very special, clean and tidy in a fantastic location.

This little boutique hotel is perfectly situated near circular quay and all the attractions there. Walking distance to the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Loved the quaintness of the hotel but with modern amenities. The staff were always accommodating. The free breakfast was a great, added bonus. Definitely would stay here again.

Great place to stay in Sydney. Perfect for cruise ship passengers. 5 minute walk to ships. One negative - quite a few steps to get to your room and difficult with luggage.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was super nice. I guess I didn't do enough research before booking but there is no air conditioning in certain rooms. Naturally we booked one of these rooms on an extremely hot and humid night. Had to cancel due to this combined with health concerns. Non refundable so paid for a night not used.

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.
