You're really paying for the location, not much else. When you first walk in the foyer is quite grand, but once you get to the rooms you realise how run down everything is. The staff at check in were very arrogant, they took another $50 as deposit, said it would be released the next morning on check out... It's now 4 days later and I still don't have it. The 'roof top' was not very accessible and quite small. The TV was ancient and had very minimal, free to air channels. The location was good for being able to walk to the bridge and Circular Quay. But besides that it was definitely not worth the price tag.

The hotel is in a great location. The service was good, and the room had comfortable beds. The bathroom needs an upgrade. I would have preferred a walk-in shower. The bath was old and 1 of the tap was dripping. My grandson loved the roof top pool and hot tub, whilst I loved the view.

Overall our experience was good however I was a bit disappointed in the breakfast served. You pay a lot of money and most of the bays were empty and what was there was either undercooked or just didn’t look appealing. We stayed twice and the second time we choose to eat at a cafe around the corner. Reception staff were brilliant and rooms were nice enough for our needs.
