Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney

10/10 Excellent
"It’s been 14 years since I stayed at the Amora, staff, location and view is exceptional. The package deal with parking, buffet breakfast and late check out was worth its value but the rooms need a major refurbishment as it’s dated and a bit musty smelling. Even just the carpet and chairs updated would make a huge difference. I would stay again but only if I received the same deal. It was cheap because it was a Sunday night."

"Nicely presented hotel in The Rocks which is central to everything. Very comfortable room and our booking included breakfast. The bathrooms are shared which could be a problem if the hotel was fully booked. We did not have any problem when we stayed in September. The bathrooms are large and very clean. Really enjoyed our stay. A very reasonable price for something so central."
