very nice boutique hotel in a great location. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Only negative is they don't have a passenger elevator, so bags have to be loaded onto a baggage lift.

As a converted warehouse, there are obvious constraints with ‘modernising’ a building of this type I.e. no guest lift, odd shape to rooms & tv on a post etc. that said, Harbour Rocks Hotel puts you in the middle of the Rocks area, it is less than 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal, the hotel has an on-site bar, an adjacent restaurant and is quiet and all in all, a pleasant hotel. The staff are lovely and very professional and I would recommend this as a good option for the Circular Quay / area.

Nice hotel in a great spot
Hotel is lovely - room was nice - clean and comfortable. The terrace area is great. Couple of things for improvement - the split system aircon was really really noisy. Staff service was great on check in but average after that - no info that the bar downstairs isn’t open and no staff downstairs to ask. Service felt more like a nice b&b set up rather than a high end boutique hotel. That said overall we really enjoyed the stay.

Location good. Hotel room a bit shabby, chipped paint on walls, noisy workman outside at 4am! Old noisy heat pump, mosquitoes in the room, got bitten several times despite having repellent on, ? Coming in from the drains as windows don’t open. Mould in the bathroom. Cold tap was tricky to turn off. Staff were helpful and polite.

It's an old hotel with a lot of charm located in The Rocks. Easy walk to pubs, restaurants and shopping. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We arrived early from cruise ship and only had a 30 minute wait for our room. Plus Diego got us ground floor as they have no elevator. Chris was a wealth of information on local sites.

The staff were great and you can't beat the location but our room 305 while on initial walk in looked clean was not. When our bagged was kindly brought up to our room due to two flights of stairs I mentioned to the front desk staff member the state of the bathroom. The shower recess was full of black mould which was evident to the eye. On closer inspection the mould was under the sink shelf and had crept into other knooks. Not nice.When I went to take a shower I turned on the cold tap and it fell onto the bathroom floor so couldn't turn on any cold water. My husband managed to do temporary fix to use. But this is a problem.The Tv did not work and I woke up the next morning feeling not well. Very stuffy, mouldy room. Had to get out to get fresh air. It was unfortunate. I think the carpet needs either a very good deep pressure clean or replacement and the bathroom definitely needs a proper bleach clean. But other than poor room, the hotel reception was lovely, the staff great and wonderful location at the Rocks.
