“Perfect location, helpful staff”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

We arrived in Sydney one early fall evening and the first thing I wanted to see was the much talked about view. It did not disappoint. The Bridge is on one side the Harbor and Opera House on the other. There were also two occasions where I needed assistance, once with the internet and once with a sewing project and... More

“great hotel in a wonderful location”

The hotel is perfectly located in The Rocks so its easy to get to from the airport and to travel round Sydney.

By far the best roof top view! Great location for Opera House, Bridge and ferry crossings all within a short stroll. Didn't feel as traffic congested unlike other central locations.

Well, we checked into our room (331) at this hotel (because of the location) about 5 weeks ago and ironically logged onto trip advisor to see the reviews.

Reviewed 13 May 2013 via mobile

We stayed three nights. The rooms especially the bathroom needs a make over. The breakfast was great but the location is OMG! Stubbled into a market on the corner. Right on the harbour and yet not a noisy hotel. The view from the top of the building while the big cruise ships pull out is amazing.
