I had a perfect stay at the hotel. They kindly had my room ready early, it was very clean & a good size. The location couldn’t have been better, less than 5 minutes to the Opera House! The breakfast the next morning was fantastic with lots of choice. I’d definitely stay there again.
Upgraded to a suite with harbour view.
Food and staff were of a very high standard, very nice hotel with a lovely ambience.
A real mix of the old and the new done very tastefully.
Great location to train station and major attractions. Our king room is spacious enough and has an amazing view of both opera house and harbour bridge. The staff is very helpful all the way from check in to check out, and super responsive through their WhatsApp messages, love that! The rooftop bar is another highlight, great atmosphere, and we were impressed by both the view and the food
Location is very convenient and facilities are better than I expected. Especially there are water filtering systems available onsite where you can refill your water bottles. Very nice!
