In the middle of The Rocks, with access to views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, only a short walk away from buses, trains, subway, light rail, and ferries, with great views from the room and spectacular views from the roof. Loved it.

Great location — tons of restaurants on the same street as the hotel, quick (7 minute) walk to Circular Quay, beautiful views from the roof top, a convenience store right next door, no complaints whatsoever.
