Overall the hotel was amazing I have zero complaints it was over the direct Xmas period so Sydney as a whole in the city was dead but the hotel had the kitchen open and a bar downstairs. The room whilst small (as I knew coming in) was clean and well laid out. Location was also very good (100m to light rail and 200m to Martin place and Circular Quay). Overall can't fault the hotel.

The location was great, and the staff were very nice and helpful. The towels smelled like sulphur, and more looked yellow than white. The twoels were worn out. Breakfast not great, not consistent, first morning was ok, second morning most of the items were missing from the menu... I hope they fix these issues since it will be great...

Georgia’s (apologies if I got the name wrong) at reception is excellent - a top class host. This was our second stay within a week - we returned because of the super experience we had the first time. This stay was equally enjoyable.

Room was although small but was in a good condition. Staff were not very informative. We had to ask where the kettle was kept..it was in a wardrobe and not on a table outside. . We were not provided with a local map as WiFi for goggle map didn’t work well within tall buildings. Breakfast same for our three nights stay and had not much for vegetarian apartment from bread and fruits and pastries. Excellent location for visiting Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
