We loved the comfort of everything and can't wait to rebook so next time we plan to use the pool, sauna & gym. Also to visit Paddy's Markets & shopping in the city. The light rail is convenient also the tram to Circular Quay. When we stayed we took day trip via train to Bathurst from Central & also visited Star Casino. Are there any rooms with microwave?

the rooms were good and beds very comfy. Breakfast good but the help yourself coffee/tea area abit untidy, only place to put used tea bags was a large open bin on the floor next to where cups are kept, not great looking into a bin with all food scraps that staff empty into. Should be at least covered when not emptying food into it.

The hotel and rooms were good. It seems like it is an old hotel but it is well maintained. The pool needs have the tiles cleaned. Close to the CBD with many restaurants around
