Beautiful harbour view from our very clean and spacious room and the bed was so comfortable. The quality of the buffet breakfast was exceptional. All the staff we encountered were friendly yet professional. We can't wait to come back and stay when the renovations are complete.

Caroline Australia

Amazing hotel, amazing location, amazing city! We were a block away from Circular Quay, so seeing the sights was so easy—fantastic location! Room was perfect—gorgeous city views and so comfortable. I’m so glad we stayed here!

Excellent - new renovated rooms are great - so well thought out. Service was best I’ve had in Australia - they couldn’t do enough to look after me and the room service was fantastic. Very happy - I travel a lot for work and this will now be my go to place in Sydney.
