Great location; fabulous views from the rooftop with spa and swimming pool; lovely spacious foyer with happy hour bar between 4-6pm. My room was very comfortable with selection of soft and hard pillows which most likely contributed to my awesome sleep. A bit dated and in need of renovations but I had great time relaxing. Hope you will enjoy it as well.

The location of the property is fabulous as it is in the heart of The Rocks. We walked everywhere, with the bridge and Opera House popping into view at almost every turn. It’s quite close to the Circular Quay station too. The property is looking a little tired, but it was clean, the beds were comfortable and the rooftop pool looked great.
