Great place to stay in Sydney. Perfect for cruise ship passengers. 5 minute walk to ships. One negative - quite a few steps to get to your room and difficult with luggage.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was super nice. I guess I didn't do enough research before booking but there is no air conditioning in certain rooms. Naturally we booked one of these rooms on an extremely hot and humid night. Had to cancel due to this combined with health concerns. Non refundable so paid for a night not used.

Great location, just steps away from Circular Quay and easy walking distance to the Sydney Opera House and many restaurants. Unique building floor plan reflecting the age of the building. Room was spotless. Wonderful breakfast, friendly and accommodating staff (we travel heavy, with lots of luggage). Ceiling fans in the room much more comfortable than Air Conditioning. Highly recommend.

Located within a few minutes walk of Circular Quay station, this hotel is ideal if you’re arriving by train from Sydney airport. Well located for walking to the Opera house and Harbour bridge. Traditional, homely, excellent breakfast, good room with all needs met. Will certainly re-use.
