The location is fairly convenient. The breakfast had variety and tasted good. The hotel is charming, but a bit old which made it feel a little dingy. The beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly.

Gorgeous simple room in a beautiful renovated building. Escritoire clean, comfortable bed, block out blinds, hot shower, nice bar fridge and toiletries. Staff were exceptional - so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was lovely - cereal, pastries, cold cuts sitting by the fireplace. Cocktails were available during happy hour in the evening.

Poor Trip Vulcan

We were there through the Anzac weekend. At every hotel I keep a reasonable tip and request the room to cleaned and beds made. The excuses and the stories were noteworthy. The breakfast was very poor and even no bread because it was a holiday. I really had pity for the staff who have to work with owners like this. Convenient location if you know sydney

The staff makes this place the best!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They really go out of their way to make your stay great! Clean rooms, I love the stained glass on the windows and the modern yet vintage style of the building! Would definitely stay here again.
