I highly recommend this hotel. The rooms are clean and well laid out. The bed was comfortable and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. The location is also terrific. We walked everywhere we went including the Opera House, the Rocks, and Darling Harbor. I will definitely stay at this hotel again when I return to Sydney!

Super nice staff. Great location, very walkable. We walked to opera house multiple times. Close to shopping too. Pool is very nice. Room is big (we got the twin room with 2 beds), and the beds are very comfortable. They are not as small as the standard twin size in the US. Feels more like a full size. Overall great experience.

This was the perfect spot for us for 3 days in Sydney. The location is awesome-it is close to the tram and train if you want to go further but all the shopping and sights are easily walkable. The staff was so helpful--the front desk and concierge team were terrific. Thanks-we'd visit again!
