The hotel is very conveniently located in the Sydney harbor close to many good restaurants, transportation, shopping, cruise terminal, and tourist attractions. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and professional. The cost of the stay is a great value considering the location and service. We would certainly stay here again when we visit this great city.

The area around the hotel was historic and interesting. You could walk to the Opera house, botanical gardens, the quay for boat tours. It is a really good location. The courtyard to the hotel is really attractive. I loved the circular look. Our room was adequately supplied but very dated with old scuffed furniture and an damm chair that would not fit under the desk so it just kept getting in the way. As I am typing this I realize I should have checked to see if I could have manually lowered it..oh well. The breakfast was really good, staff helpful and pleasant. Did not swim in the pool, but it has a fantastic view. Great for photos. Instead of my credit card, I accidentally used my debit card for the security deposit, so the deposit was immediately withdrawn from my bank account as a debit purchase. I wanted a refund right away so it could be done correctly but I was unable to convince the staff that it was wrong. It was repeated to me over and over again that the funds were on hold and would be released back to me. Well they were not on hold it was a purchase that was withdrawn from my bank account. It has only been 2 days since I checked out but I sure hope I get a refund for that security deposit. The cards look so similar…..

Amazing location for my 6 night blitz in Sydney. I was able to walk everywhere I wanted to tour. I only needed transit to get to the airport and that was a breeze even with rolling luggage. The staff were very helpful to me and I appreciated their professionalism. Thank you

Hotel was very basic and requiring an update and renovation. Staff not overly friendly or accommodating. Lift does not access all floors so you have to drag your bag either up or down stairs. Would not wish to stay here again.

Location and staff wonderful. Property decor is dated. Carpets need replacing urgently, saw a number of older persons nearly fall after tripping on the uneven surface. Room was showing evidence of needing a very good clean. Dusty, dirty and mould. Evidence of previous guests evident in bathroom, doubt it's been cleaned in a while. Overall very disappointed and not sure how this motel has received 4 stars. For the money paid it was not great value for money, owner needs to spend some money here. Except for the location and staff.

Room was not what we ordered or paid for, not what was advertised. Extremely small hit your head on sloping walls trying to get into bed. Ordered 3 rooms months before date needed. Rooms not together or on same floor. Noisy amenities cupboard right beside bed. One chair in room for 2 people and was about to break very rickety. When complained was told general manager would be in contact, still no word from them. Safety feature needed in bathroom need handrail to assist when getting out of shower which is situated over high bath.
