Located near the Harbour was excellent but the facilities of the hotel was only decent. It felt over priced for the facilities available. Torn bedsheets, bare empty rooms and corridors definitely needing an upgrade, it feels quite run down. However, the staff were excellent.

the property is quite old, the bathroom and interior are outdated and battered, but clean. the windows can't be opened (at least in our room, there is only AC) and the whirlpool on the roof is not working. I have still no answer on an email inquiry because of something I forgot at the hotel. Not the customer service I expected for this price.

The location of the hotel to Circular Quay, The Opera House & The Bridge can’t be beat. The hotel is in need of an upgrade, especially the bathrooms and AC system. You can’t run the AC if you want to sleep. While it’s a very old building, the noise is awful. Our room backed onto the side alley where the dumpsters were emptied at 4am every day! The sound of smashing glass isn’t how you want to wake up on holiday. When we mentioned this to the front desk, they thanked us for telling them. The laundry facilities are great and much appreciated on a long trip. $4 for a wash and $4 for the dryer. Detergent is provided. Overall a great location, but the hotel use a little TLC.
