Budget friendly hotel in city center

You are paying for the location of this property. Amazing view of Opera House and Bridge on rooftop. Rooms are a bit dated. Had noise outside my room from 9-930pm (sounded like power washing). The way rooms are situated along perimeter of hotel I awoke to the sound to clanging silverware and dishes during breakfast hours. Great restaurants in this pricer neighborhood. Location is a good point for visiting various attractions at a resemble price.

Excellent location. Able to walk to many restaurants, shops, transportation depots and landmarks. The hotel is old so the bathroom is small and dated, not many people on staff at the front desk so you have to wait but the people who are working are extremely friendly and helpful.
