We greatly appreciated our stay. Staff was wonderful. Location was wonderful. The ladies and the gentleman that worked at the front desk were all extremely helpful. The room we had was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. Also the included breakfast was very good and the staff working there were also very nice. If we come back to Sidney we would come back to this hôtel.

The employees of this hotel are stellar examples of what we expect the behavior to be from top rate hotels. They were accomodating, friendly and knowledgable! I wish I was treated half as good at other places I've stayed! The hotel was clean and quaint, but had a lot of stairs on every level. The restaurant was worth breakfast.

A lovely hotel in a great location. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed in room 9, which was a very large room just for 1 person. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and had great views. The only downside was it wasn't en-suite, but there were 3 shared bathrooms close by to this room. Breakfast in the morning was in the bistro downstairs. There was plenty of seating, the staff were friendly and the breakfast selection was great (I enjoyed the big breakfast). I would stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is located in the busy The Rocks area. This old hotel is well maintained. We stayed overnight to catch a cruise ship and the location was perfect. We used the back exit down the alley to The Nurses Walk for a smoother route to the ship. If you are traveling with lots of luggage ask for a room without stairs. There are lots of stairs as the rooms are split on half levels and down little hallways. Our room was #16 and the lift took us to the 2nd floor and it was just down the hall, same level. There is no air conditioning and it can get quite warm. The overhead ceiling fan helped a great deal. Breakfast was included with our room and it was plentiful, delicious and there were good selections. Service was excellent.
