An excellent hotel to stay in when you are visiting the Rocks area of Sydney. The rooms are a little on the small size but the bed is really comfy. We had a room that faced George St which meant we had a view of the Harbour Bridge but the noise from the club across the road was loud and... More

I stayed here for two nights recently - one for business, the second for pleasure. The visit started well with speedy and friendly check-in and an upgrade to a top floor harbour view room. We arrived late in the day and, as we hadn't eaten since breakfast, enquired straight away about restaurant hours. Initially we were surprised by the fact... More

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, fantastic breakfast, large clean rooms. Have stayed 4 times and have always had an early check in and a room with a view. Pool is excellent and never crowded. Love being near the pubs and restaurants. With a short walk to night life I feel very safe even when travelling alone. More

good location in the rocks, close to lots of great cafes for breakfast. Some rooms are old and a little shabby, but clean and comfortable. Rooftop pool and spa were a little cold but good views of harbor bridge and opera house. Some rooms on lower floors and on one side of the hotel are very noisy on a Fri/Sat... More

This is exactly where you need to stay if you are visiting Sydney.

The price is very reasonable, being a holiday inn. The staff were... More

This is way better than the normal Holiday Inn. We were spoiled because our room was upgraded to a 6th floor harbour-and-opera-house view that was absolutely amazing - way better than the view we had from some much more expensive competitors. But irrespective of the view, this hotel has the best location I can imagine - just 5 mins from... More
