“Perfect for a city stay in Sydney”

Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

The perfect location in Sydney, in The Rocks, close to the Harbour and handy to most of Sydney's attractions. Also very close to lots of great restaurants, pubs and cafes plus public transport. The service was excellent and friendly and the breakfasts plentiful and delicious. A juicer and eggs to order are a real bonus in big hotels. The rooms... More

The staff were exceptional and stored our luggage while we went out sight seeing. We were 4 hours early but they let us book in earlier when the room was ready. The room overlooked circular Quay...

“Perfect location, helpful staff”

Reviewed May 17, 2013 NEW

We arrived in Sydney one early fall evening and the first thing I wanted to see was the much talked about view. It did not disappoint. The Bridge is on one side the Harbor and Opera House on the other. There were also two occasions where I needed assistance, once with the internet and once with a sewing project and... More
