Australiathe location was excellent, very close to Haymarket tram stop, which would take you to Circular Quay. A very old Hotel with a lot of history attached as seen by the many artefacts and pictures around the ground floor.
United KingdomThe location of GSH is great, handy to Central Station & Airport, also Chinatown & Darling Harbour. Trams are handy for Circular Key and on this trip we also discovered the cinemas and many eateries in Chippendale. Breakfast at hotel was very good value too. And there is a great Sports Bar in the building.
