This small hotel and staff were exceptional. My room was spacious, quiet and had a nice fridge for my wine. It is located in the heart of The Rocks area, close to the harbor, tram station and scads of restaurants. I am going back to Sydney in 2027 and will book one year in advance to ensure my stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Friendly, helpful staff. Very comfortable bed. Opening windows and a ceiling fan is much my preferred air con so I was happy with that. As it's an old building in the Rocks area and on a slope the hotel has odd groups of steps in the corridors so may not suit some guests. The stairs down to the dining and bar areas are also quite steep. I have stayed there before and would stay again as it's very convenient for the Opera House, the Rocks, Circular Quay and rail services.
