Staff very helpful. Expensive package but well worth it. Smallish room but unbeatable views. Taxi drivers outside the hotel selective about whether they will take your fare or not. Jetstar cancelled our return flight! Would stay there again if Harbourside redevelopment not intrusive or if disruptive to ferry terminal access.

Good location Noisy pipes at all hours of day and night. Not worth 5 star price - service was ok but not what you would expect in a 5 star hotel. Overpriced for what you get. Would not stay again.
