Great service, great location.
3rd time in Sydney and this is the location to stay. Close to ferry. Lots of food options. I wish the AC went a little lower, but was still ok. View from the roof is great.

4/10 Fair

Poor and cheap furnishing in the room, booked this hotel because of the rooftop area which closed but no clear notification on booking site, misleading! No front desk operation after hours. Not going back to this hotel.

The location was great but the bars across the street were so loud they woke us up every night until 2 in the morning. Would not recommend.

Great location, dated room
Can’t beat the location. Room was clean but spartan, grout in bathroom in need of cleaning or replacement. Air conditioner was marginal at best. Pool and rooftop were nice but don’t expect what you see in the photo. Did not use restaurant. Bar was good.

Worn and dated but with terrific views
Property in perfect location with a rooftop views that were amazing. Staff was excellent. Property very worn but comfortable. Pictures do not reflect actual property. No shade on rooftop pool. Do not include breakfast. Mediocre at best. Next door is a cafe that was excellent for breakfast.
